It's hard to imagine a more severe dereliction of duty: "The Greek coastguard has been accused of causing the deaths of more than 40 migrants in the Mediterranean over a number of years – including nine who were allegedly thrown overboard into the sea and allowed to drown. Victims said they had either been thrown into the sea or cast afloat in damaged inflatable rafts before they could make asylum claims in Greece. One man said the Greek coastguard had thrown him into the sea with his hands zip-tied together, saying: “They wanted me to die.”" from the @Independent Unlike our @RNLI ; which is a charitable organisation with incredibly brave volunteers, who put their lives in danger to rescue the vulnerable at sea; the Greek Coastguard is a paramilitary organisation. Treating refugees as cargo that can be dumped at sea is part of the increasing dehumanisation of people forced to flee their homes. As the far right grows in strength across Europe and to some degree in the UK we must be vigilant to speak up for truth, justice and compassion.
