If they knew if they were going back to Libya they wouldn’t be smiling. They think or know they’re gonna be taken in to Europe for the new life they risked everything to try and get

Bitter and sweet!
World leader's are our bitter!
The people for justice are the "sweet"
Look fit and bealthy to me. Must be a shortage of younger men in those countries too. No kids, no females. They look like they are well fed and all. So enough of the violins, Guardian!
Where’s the women and kids? Fighting age men again with a complete different way of living than Europeans.
Women and children first no ??
I'm overwhelmed by the huge numbers of women and children on these boats.
