| Million Africans mass in Libya for trip to UK. |
| 2008-01-14 |
New estimates reveal that there are two million migrants massed in the North African country and that half of them plan to sail to the European mainland and travel on to Britain in the hope of building a new life. According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), most have travelled from sub-Saharan states such as Ghana and Sierra Leone, attracted by Libya's reputation as a centre for people smugglers. Most are expected to wait until the spring, when the seas are calmer, before making the crossing on unseaworthy and crowded vessels. |

| #6 Napoleon couldn't do it. Hitler couldn't do it. These folks might be the first since William the Conqueror, and we all know what happened to the Saxons. |

| #5 Atiko, a 23-year-old Ghanaian who still dreams of making it to England, is scraping a living from begging. He said that scrimping for food was preferable to stealing. "Begging is better for me. That will be better for me to do to survive," he said. "In my country, they used to speak English and I can say that I am not good enough in English, so I would like to be in Britain to polish my English," he added. Have no fear! It is a moral and educational journey. |

| #4 ...believed to make their way to France or the UK, with the latter their preferred destination. If you are going to move you might as well move to another muslim country. |

| #3 First thought : has anyone here read "The camp of the Saints", by Jean Raspail? Eery. Second thought : They will take them all. Briton is done. Because the USA don't have what might be called "a tiny problem" with masses of third world or latin america migrants? It's not just Europe, but the whole western (and dare I say it, white european) world that is being deeply changed for good (and not for the best) by mass immigration. |
