Migrants Survive 14 Days on Ships Rudder by Drinking Sea Water
In the News
When you see and hear stories about desperation with migrants crossing the channel in small boats , you think that is either a brave or foolish thing to do
But having read this article it beggars belief
Four nigerian migrants wanting to escape hardship, political instability and crime had set up netting around a ships rudder to which they strapped themselves and survived a 14 day journey of 3,500 miles from their home to Brasil
They ran out of food and water after 10 days so resorted to drinking salty sea water which alone could have killed them
But things got worse, they thought they were being taken to Europe but ended up in Brasil , but they have applied for asylum there nonetheless
Brazil will probably send them straight back and not put them up in 4 star hotels like they are doing with migrants around here.
telmel I saw the photos of those four men in The Metro newspaper and none of them appeared to be in distressed. They are all lying they had no food or water. They are all trying their luck just to see how far they can go and then inform their families and friends to try their luck as well.
Pjran hell no there not one near us is on Hunger strike because he doesn't like the hotel there in and they want a house they say they don't get food but the hotel is given them 3 meals a day and they get some sort of benefits but that not good enough my answer is don't like it next plane back will be book funny how we have doubled in food banks people are homeless and they're moaning what a joke
Huh, Brazil? That's a surprise.
They usually target America, Canada, England, or another European country.
Currently, Portugal seems to be allowing anyone in due to the pope and it's the World Youth Day so illegal immigrants will probably move around since they're already safely in the West. Uncontrolled immigration is dangerous as you don't know who you're letting in and what they've done or what have you.
That many people in one place... I sure wouldn't want to be there. 
Okay... This comment is "unPC" for LD so I'll end it here.
