        @M_Corbett @BBCBreaking so why don't they stay in Africa and that instead of trying to get it for free (from taxpayers) in Europe?

        @Hazeydavey69 Geldof didn't come first. Arms and arms transport, unfair trade and slavery did.

        @BBCBreaking this has to stop. Our European shores can not be bolt holes. We have our own economic issues ! How I am unsure.
