I am fed up with people who write against the alarming numbers if illegal immigrants coming to Malta being labelled racists. I could not care less whether these immigrants are white, yellow, black or blue; we just cannot cope any more. Of course, we must continue to save these unfortunate human beings from the seas but at the same time the government and the opposition must take urgent action to stop this "invasion", as it is being called.

I think I can be considered one of I.M. Beck's fans and enjoy his tongue-in-cheek efforts on a Saturday morning and in his blogs, apart from the fact that Chelsea come second to Portsmouth as far as my UK soccer favourites are concerned.

But, like many journalists, as far as I know I.M. Beck has never come forward with any positive proposals to solve this problem.
