The Greek government plans to install floating barriers to keep out migrants and refugees.

Greek coast guard patrol vessels play a cat-and-mouse game with smugglers’ boats bringing asylum seekers from the Turkish coast to islands such as Samos, Lesbos and Chios, with many boats and dinghies able to reach land.

This would probably be in breach of SOLAS.....

Some of the most heinous, inhuman shameful comments and hate speech towards regugees in this thread. Welcome to Brexit Britain.

Yes, good idea. Give the poor souls something to cling to. I dare you not to rescue them, costing you more money! What were you thinking?

Quite right. The navy should be turning ships around and out of U.K waters not escorting them in.

Deploy machine guns and patrol vessels. Not pickups.

Better still put barriers around the countries from which they set out!🤪

Is that another word for a wall?

If they make them banana shaped they could get people to ride on them and they could be used as spotter's

so these barriers would cause any incoming ship to colide and crash into them? .... what about random yacht owners? ofcourse and thee barriers would probably cause the migrant ships to sink and drown the migrants lol but it may also damage other random people boats

A Trump wall on water perhaps. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery as the saying goes!

Good idea

Sink them.

they should do it here

Nothing more beautiful tryin to saving life’s.

EU will say no

Hats off to the Greeks

With machine guns?

Max Núñez’ greenhouse in Chile gives the impression of a floating glass boxModernism meets innovation at Max Núñez Arquitectos’ greenhouse in Pirque, Chile, where a steel frame supports two barrel vaults built of glass blocks, and its modest glass plinth creates a ... No it doesn't, it looks like a greenhouse made of plastic sheeting balanced on some recycled pallets. Nice enough, but it does not look as if it is floating.

Island quarantine plan as foreigners evacuatedHundreds of foreigners fly out of Wuhan, as Australia announces a Christmas Island quarantine plan. Stay away from a Virus named Corona. Pres. Xi Jinping's censorship and mismanagement handling of this virus crisis has only added to the suffering of the Chinese people. I don’t know why but I’m finding this all rather hysterical. More people died on the streets of UK in last month. From deprivation.
