Unemployed Australian man tells European leaders to turn back Asylum seekers or risk "catastrophic t

[fruxodaily]

[QUOTE]In his first major speech since losing office, former prime minister Tony Abbott has called on European leaders to close their borders to asylum seekers or risk imperilling their nations.

Mr Abbott delivered the second annual Margaret Thatcher Lecture at a banquet in London to an audience of Tory ministers and Conservative Party members.

He used the occasion to promote the Coalition's hardline asylum seeker policies as a solution to Europe's migrant crisis.

He urged regional leaders to act by "turning around boats [and] denying entry at the border for people with no right to come".

"It will require some force, it will require massive logistics and expense; it will gnaw at our consciences," Mr Abbott said.

"Yet it is the only way to prevent a tide of humanity surging through Europe and quite possibly changing it forever."

He outlined his concern that "misguided altruism" was "...leading much of Europe into catastrophic error".

"No country or continent can open its borders to all comers without fundamentally weakening itself," he said.

He cautioned, "too much mercy for some necessarily undermines justice for all".[/QUOTE]

Tones is right you know, it will result in the catastrophic terror of helping down and out people get back on their feet. Only godless pinkos do that.

Except smurfy wouldn't have misquoted the article:

Well, that statue is there because native Indians couldn't protect their "borders".
