But i’ve found there’s a very simple solution, make sure you are never near them again.

It doesn’t matter either way. The rule of law trumps popular sentiment.

How do they know that the vast majority support pushbacks?

Speaking of votes,

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

Churchill, of course.

And Joseph Muscat would not have had a chance in hell of getting elected were the voters above average.

Today, some extremists within Joseph Muscat’s ‘moviment’ will willingly trample on the human rights of migrants.

Tomorrow, they will trample on the human rights of whoever they see fit, referring to ‘majority of people’ and ‘democracy’ to justify their actions.

To hell with human rights; to hell with the rule of law.

The prospect is frightening.
