From the UK Express:
THE EU sparked a furious row last night by saying Britain and the rest of the bloc had a “moral duty” to accept all refugees arriving by boat.
Christos Stylianides, the EU commissioner in charge of immigration, enraged Eurosceptics by insisting that turning boats full of migrants round and sending them back to Turkey or Libya is “against our EU values.”
Mr Stylianides is said to have to become angry when he was asked why the EU has not adopted the Australian system of sending boats full of illegal migrants back to their point of origin.
The revelation came as EU leaders threw open the Continent’s doors to Turkey in a deal to tackle the refugee crisis.
Talks to start the Turkish accession to EU membership process will now start in days and will eventually give its 77million citizens the right to come to the UK.
In the meantime the Schengen area countries will give Turkey visa free access in exchange for allowing Greece to return migrants who arrive after Sunday back to Turkey after being assessed.
And the EU has promised to accelerate payment to Turkey £2.3bn promised last November with a further £2.3bn to also be made available.
The Daily Express has learnt that the European Commission is now blocking a radical Australian style proposal to turn ships around at see and not let the migrants land in Europe.
The same policy was being pushed by Prime Minister David Cameron at the EU summit this week.
The plan was raised by a very senior MEP at a private meeting earlier this month as the solution to Europe’s refugee crisis. But according to sources at the briefing, Mr Stylianides, a Greek Cypriot, at first tried to ignore the question and then “exploded” with anger when pressed on it. MEPs in the room were said to be “shocked and surprised” by his response to what many believe is “a reasonable solution” to end the crisis. At the meeting Mr Styliandes claimed that it is Europe’s “moral duty” to take in the refugees flooding in from North Africa and the Middle East. He also privately acknowledged concerns over allowing Turkey visa free access to the Schengen area countries which would allow the country’s 77million citizens to come to the UK in five years time. The commissioner, whose own country has been torn apart by a Turkish invasion, told MEPs: “I am not naive, I understand your concerns about Turkey but we have no choice.” Already there is fury over how an open-door policy has led to hundreds of women in Cologne and other German cities being sexually abused by “Arabic” immigrants. The EU has been brought to the edge of collapse by the surge of thousands of migrants with 1.2 million arriving in the last 12 months and 150,000 already this year. Many want the Australian system of turning around ships full of migrants, giving them food and water and ensuring they will not sink but then sending them back. After the Australian government introduced the policy illegal immigrants stopped making the dangerous sea crossing to the country.

“We have no choice’.
WHY?
Has he been bribed? Threatened? Blackmailed?
WHAT threat has been used, to make him so very frightened, so very angry, at the very idea that all 77 million Turkish Muslims should not be permitted to go wherever they want, whenever they want, and squat wherever they want, in the whole of western Europe??
What ‘or else…” threat or boast has been made, behind closed doors?
The man is claiming it’s about ‘values’, but I think he’s scared sh*tless.
