These Evil, Foolish Actions

Peter Hitchens writes: 

I have tried and tried to think of a civilised way in which we could stop people crossing the Channel illegally and landing here. But I cannot. We are stuck with this. But there are still people to blame.

Notably the Blair Creature, who destroyed the stability of the Middle East with his unforgivable and dishonest support for the Iraq War. That was when the great mass migration towards Europe began.

Also to blame is Blair’s imitator, David Cameron, still vying for the title of Worst British Prime Minister Ever (with Al Johnson coming up fast on the inside).

Mr Cameron must have been told by someone in Whitehall that overthrowing the Libyan tyrant Muammar Gaddafi would mean mass migration across the Mediterranean.

Gaddafi had often threatened it himself. And if Cameron had the sense he was born with (not to mention that imparted by his expensive education), he must have realised that if you depose despots, chaos often follows.

These people need to be restrained. But far too often the public sees foreign wars as video games that will never have any effect here. Next time, beware of this.

These evil, foolish actions, dressed up as noble or humanitarian, always have long-lasting bad outcomes at home.
