Think about that before you cast your vote.
The European Union has reached agreement to set up a new border and coastguard force that could intervene in front-line countries like Greece and Italy to curb the flow of migrants.
Negotiators for the 28 EU member states and the European Parliament said today they had endorsed a proposal from the European Commission, the bloc’s executive, to set up the force over the summer.
The parliament is expected to vote on the issue in a key committee next week and, if it clears that hurdle, it could be endorsed at a full session in Strasbourg next month.
Brussels aims to have the force start operations in September and be fully operational by November.

I did read this Mike, right down to the comments section. The opinions on there were so vile I had forgotten the article by the time I’d read the first page of them. If they are even a small sample of the population, God help us all.
That’s the Heil for you – it gets the readers and commenters it deserves.
