Stop the drownings - send ferries not gun boats - stop visa checks

Date:

A photo of the body of 3 year old Aylan Kurdi, drowned on the beaches of Fortress Europe has gone viral and appeared on the front pages of many papers across the world.  Aylan died with his brother and his mother.  All were apparently fleeing the murderous ISIS onslaught on Kobane

Let's not send gunboats to rescue the drowning, let's send ferries to provide safe crossings for the living.

Let's not build detention camps on Greek islands, let's remove the requirement that airlines check visas before people can board.

Recognise that the racist rules of Fortress Europe like these pushed people to sea and resulted in the drownings. Let's not cry crocodile tears for these two Kurdish kids while insisting that those rules stay in place.

Open the borders!
