Responsibility for African boat migrants lies at all our doors
The International Organisation for Migration has predicted that migrant deaths in the Mediterranean might be as high as 30,000 this year (EU emergency summit will offer safe haven to only 5,000 refugees, 23 April). That prospect might appeal to the likes of Katie Hopkins, who has described these desperate people as “cockroaches” and has called for gunships to be used against them, or Ukip’s Nigel Farage, who opposes EU action to end the deaths. Australian PM Tony Abbott has advised the EU to adopt his ruthless policy toward asylum seekers and turn their boats back.
