Some factoids you ought know.

The borders of Europe begin where they are guarded.

Where there are no borders - in space and in binary.

& this morally is of interest % to Ireland.
read on:-

The southern route to the celtic tiger table, the 4 wheel drive, suburban mother of one road to Nigeria is monitored on her behalf by the EVA stations (which number more than 20) in the Canarias islands, Ceuta & Manilla enclaves on continental Africa, and Andalucia in peninsular Spain.

your technology - your mobile - your jobs - your money = their poverty- their fish -their misery & DO YOU SMELL THE CAMPS?

The borders of Europe begin where they are guarded.
Where there are no borders - in space.
it is estimated that there are almost 9000 satellites in orbit, many of which are in geo-stationary position. Amongst those satellites which guard the moat of Fortress Europe are included:-
The 5 hotbird satellites which supply metreological data and carry mobile phone operators and TV channels, including most of the arabic channels.
point your little dish at GEO 13º East, and you'll find the footprint. In addition the Astra satellite GEO 19.2º East, in between bouncing Al Jazeera, offers the fishermen of the european factory fleet pinpoint location of fish stock in the West African atlantic, gives your holidays in the Canarias a decent weather forecast and monitors the slave routes from western africa through the Sahara.
You could (if you had a little dishie) also find the footprints of Eutelsat, Hispasats, Arabsat, Intelsats and PanAm.

The electronic frontier thus begins in space and cuts a swathe from the militarised border in southern Morrocco through the Sahara, across the Nile and then Curves northward by the Volga to the Baltic states and Soumi in the frozen north.

The EVA system which is operated by the Spanish state in its territory in Africa (ceuta and melilla and the canarias archipelago) and the peninsula keeps more than 20 stations working 24/7 on "keeping an eye".

In addition the British possession at Gibraltar / El peñon monitors all movement in the area.

Thus is it that our €uropean technology, developed by fine minds who have excelled in their fields, and contributed to the prosperity of High Tech based new economies (of which Ireland leads), helps not only those workers enjoy prosperity, afford a mortgage and all the trappings of luxury, but also ensures that our European fishing factory fleets (of which Ireland leads) may empty the waters off of Western Africa from Senegal to Nigeria to Namibia.

.:. for our ancestors were pirates & so to are we.:.

The €uropean Union protects the security of the four wheel drive suburban mother of one by investing in the building of internment camps "on the other side of the moat", to date more than 1,200,000,000€u has been directed to support camps in Algeria, Morrocco, Libya, Tunisia to the south and more to the east.

The €uropean union re-assures the concern for human rights that the fourwheel drive suburban mother of one, by routinely urging Algeria, Morrocco, Libya and Tunisia to adhere to the varying charters on human rights.

The border at the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Malilla alone have cost 1,750,000,000€ to upgrade, the fence now measures 6 metres rather than 3, the ditch is now twenty metres wider, the concrete now goes deeper to stop tunnels being dug, and of course there is in full honour of European tradition a "no man's land", entry into which is detected immediately by infra-red sensors.

Each week more than a hundred people die in the moat.

The coastal guards of Spain, Italy and Malta have become the undertakers of the mediterranean.

The states of The European Union with the most migrants are naturally those which share frontiers with the poor. These are also the states of the EU which have the lowest mean incomes, and highest unemployment. These are the places the four wheel drive suburban mother of one goes for a weekend and drinks a milky coffee.

The average cost borne by countries such as Spain and Italy in returning one migrant is equal to the profit taken by one ryanair flightful of tourists.

The average money spent by one Irish working class weekend tourist in southern Spain equals the money earned by one fishingboat in Sicily, who now due to the increase of numbers are taking bodies from the sea as well.

Ireland shirks its responsibility to take equal share of migrants or equal stock of this human disaster.

This is not a "leftwing" issue.

It is a moral issue. Ireland's moat and Eire's fortress walls cost many billions, are protected by men and women who are themselves being degraded by the work they do, are the result of geopolitical attitudes to inequality, investment, development, justice, and social and ethical concerns which are seen at the micro-level.

Ireland is storing up problems at home and abroad. The richest states of the Union must no longer feel secure in the parasitic ignorance of the pretence "that these people want our jobs", they need to learn "we have taken those peoples' jobs".

The states of the EU with the most inmates in camps are also those who have contributed the most to finance the building of camps outside the fortress, due to the unrelenting criticism of the human rights records, the degradation of inmates, and systematic abuse.
