Maybe they will sack it now?
Tunisia attack: deadly shooting in front of tourist beach hotel in Sousse - latest - Telegraph
Not really on Libyas coastline, but this attack doesn't surprise me=its been on the cards for years. They'll be doing this along Europes borders soon in Commando type raids-can see it coming a mile off.
We cant do anything, the political bravery isn't on display on our side anymore.
Maybe they will sack the refugee/baddie patrols now?
Think I was on this very beach in 1994 on holiday, the thought of this happening then didn't even compute in my small brain.

You will never win while you play to a different rule set, I keep saying until you ship them back and keep doing it they will continue coming. All this crap about we need to aid the countries they come from will simply enrichen the lives of a few corrupt officials.
I feel for the peace loving Tunisians who go about their business catering to the Tourist trade who have probably just seen their industry wiped out, thoughts with those involved...
Btw having watched the sh*te happening at Calais I still cannot understand why artic trailers are not locked, and as for the fence climbers they should have three Fences built with the inner one a electrified.

Interesting last night watching some of the footage showing a meeting of tourists and holiday reps in which some of the tourists were kicking up that the company was not acting quickly enough to fly them home.
Counterpoint that with an interview on the BBC this morning with another tourist present at one of these meetings who pointed out to those with similar gripes that the reps were actually at the hotel next door supporting those who had just had their families murdered, which perhaps was a little more important.

Strange but unsurprising endgame.

Interesting end to all of this. Bulwark picked up 4747 people on its operations. And whatever your views on that one has to say well done them for doing their part as ordered.
HMS Enterprise has so far picked up zero people. Despite the leaders of the UK trying to reassure the House of Commons that humanitarian support would continue.
Interesting how the Govt will react to news, veer policy accordingly and fib when it suits them.
Also its very obvious how we need ( and presently totally lack) a good firm opposition in the HoC to hold ministers accountable to how the UK Armed Forces are used. And boy the Navy were "used" here.

Apart from that, the guys on the boats there are doing as they are told. Who gives a hoot which boat pocked more or less than any other boat? Are they helping or just adding to the problem?
Biggus, no the link doesn't work, you are right.
