Reuters on immigrants

[SydneyRover]

Sprot, are you suggesting that during rescue at sea those in danger would have to be questioned and their identity and status determined before being pulled into the boat?

The Boats should not be there in the first place , their presence if encouraging folks to jump into un seaworthy Vessels and commit criminal acts, they are not Asylum seekers they are illegal immigrants!

stop obfuscating and answer a simple question sprot

You answer the difficult question first, the name of Drakes Ship during his slaving expedition ?

[SydneyRover]

I don't know the name of the ship.

Stop hiding and answer the question, you posted the OP on the subject at least be man enough to support your comment.

Well that’s put you in your place!
It was the ‘Jesus of Lubeck’
Goodnight Sydney !

[SydneyRover]

Sounds to me that you want government's to do the dirty work on your behalf as long as your own views are not exposed sprot, sleep well.

Sorry, you are wrong that was the name of Hawkins ship he was the Captain. Badly worded question Sproty, had you said on which ship was Drake a crew member of on his 1st slaving expedition fair enough. But the terminoligy you used infers that Drake was the captain of the ship

[SydneyRover]

Has anyone seen sprot?

[ravenrover]

Additionally Drake probably went on a slaving expedition the previous year as part of Lovells slaving journey

My badly worded question Raven, no record of him going before but that was his first slaving expedition, and you are right Hawkins was the expedition Commander ,Drake ended up as commander of one of several other ships in the fleet, The ‘Judith’,it’s nice to see other posters with an interest in history!

[ravenrover]

That was on the 2nd expedition with Hawkins Sproty that he commanded The Judith
History my favourite subject, rubbed off on my son a published Military Historian

Is there a prize for this or something?

[SydneyRover]

Thanks Syd you have missed out Sir Francis Drake, what was the name of his ship when he went slaving?

A pleasure sprot, you didn't say whether you agreed with Germany sponsoring the rescue of people in trouble?

I totally agree, they are taking them in the wrong direction they should be taking them back to the shores of Africa, as our Maritime rescue units should be taking them back to France.

You do realise that we could have done exactly that Sproty, had the hard of thinking not voted to leave the EU?

The boats were coming in before we left the EU.
Had we taken any of them back to France before we did leave?
(I voted to remain by the way).

France has closed its borders with Italy! When I visited Germany this July I never even saw any border controls, I believe that will be changing in the not too distant future!

Not a good topic for you this one aye sprot, can't answer a simple question and got your gistory wrong.

No I think you’re the one who is losing it! By the way answer the question what are my convictions, according to ‘Mystic Syd’?

[SydneyRover]

You been on the ‘turpentine ‘ again Syd ?

[SydneyRover]

It was better than your childish insults

[River Don]

Heh, you are being played.

Legal immigration is a long way beyond illegal immigration. The Tories love immigration! Cheap labour, great for the growth figures...

The Tories love immigration. Which is why they have a new trade deal with India that will allow much more migration.

You're being played as mugs.
