Those traffickers in Libya need help,the present system is inefficient.
They collect thousands from these Africans put them in a boat,take them out to sea and then scarper.
They then just wait for some rescue vessel to take them on board where they get fed and some medical attention and taken to their destination.
The traffickers don't give a penny to the rescue vessels,neither do the migrants.
A solution would be to requisition the Costa Concordia and do daily runs,undercut the traffickers.
You can't beat a bit of competition.

Agree with the sentiment, but a complete non-starter really.
You could hand a contract to a company like P+O for instance, private companies with little competition would soon hike prices to a level that was way above that of the trafficker. Then you have the worry of health and safety, and wether P+O would leave the door open at sea as in the mid-80s in Zeebrugge. The best way to defeat the criminal`s, is to root out the man at the top of the chain and punish him severly, even at the risk of having to find a new president at FIFA. |

P and O are an even better idea,this would make it even more efficient.
The Costa Concordia brings them to Italy where they disperse but most head for Calais,they then pay another set of traffickers to get them across the channel. The P and O ship would just take them straight to Southampton. Are the traffickers entitled to compensation ? |

Would be very surprised if the traffiker and a group of British based lawyer`s, were not already known to one another due to them all being of Nigerian origin.
So yes, the likleyhood is that compensation would be forthcoming. |

Those human rights lawyers need work.
Traffickers children going hungry and no one cares. The traffickers union certainly improved things. They used to have to bring the boats all the way across the Mediterranean to Italian waters and then scarper,this improved dramatically when all these rescue vessels came to the traffickers aid,the shortened journeys a boost but like most things the traffickers thought they couldn't be done without. |
