that ******** sad you would use drowning migrants to win?

I think you need to take a look at yourself.

Win what? Drowning is the usual fate of migrants who end up swimming. It is not a good thing. PurpleGorilla's defence is that is was satire, but he hasn't explained how it is satirical. On the face of it, it's a pretty tulipty thing to write, and not the least bit humourous. His original post deserves opprobrium. That was the purpose of my post.

satire
ˈsatʌɪə/
noun
"the use of humour, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues."

My views on the migrant crisis are pretty well established. Address problems at source, select refugees for asylum at source, make the third world better, close the idiotic all are welcome strategy.

Usual Mod bolloxs
You were attempting to entrap PG into saying something contentious to support your extrapolations -thus giving you a reason to exercise your banning powers to give you your daily hard on

Some migrants drown attempting to get to Europe
2600 in 2015 versus the 350000 who were successful, so drowning is not the usual fate of migrants as you said but rather an apparent risk worth taking

No one really gives a flying fook what your opinions are just stick to milk monitoring the forum rather than trying to inflict your opinions on others

Usual anti-Mod bolloxs.

PG doesn't need entrapping. He's quite capable of saying something monumentally ignorant without any prompting from anyone.
