These illegal imigrants should be congratuated fof making it to malta without maltese help imagine how much it would cost to send a patrol boat to look for them and bring them over from a 100 miles away. well done,credit where its due .

In spite of all the effort being made to find a maltese fishing boat by helicopters, planes, boats etc, these illegal imigrants still manage to get onto maltese shores.
Something must be wrong with our searches surely!

Never a dull moment. We have hardly got over the transport strike, now we get back to more of these invaders. When is this going to stop?

Well done to the authorities for keeping our shores well guarded. If they are not able to notice these small moving boats i can immagine how harder it is for them to notice any faster boats importing contraband!
Shame on all!
