To Boycott Greece

In light of the recent, highly disturbing news today from the BBC that the Greece coastguard threw migrants overboard to their deaths, that we should now be actively boycotting this country with our tourism until a serious investigation and people are charged with murder.

To think of all the children, women and men that have died while in Greek waters. Including the boat carrying 600 human beings that the Greek coastguard watched go under.

The level of evil out there makes me weep.

The article for those that haven't seen it yet:

Completely agree. Outrageous - I wouldn't be keen to go to Greece.

I haven't been to Greece in about 3 years but have no immediate plans to be booking a holiday there in the near future.

Feel terribly helpless when seeing footage of the people who are meant to help them, trying to bust a dingy, full of people who need help, with a sharp pole.

I read the article this morning and was really shocked. It's not a one-off sadistic coastguard crew but instructions from the top.

My God, that's horrific
