Lesbos: Child migrants sleep in pens at Mytilene port - BBC News

The governor of the Greek island of Lesbos has told the BBC he apologises for the violent actions of some residents against migrants and aid workers.
Costas Moutzouris also said that he condemns the actions of the Greek Coast Guard, who were earlier filmed shooting towards migrant boats and hitting them with sticks.
Aid agencies have complained of assault and intimidation by a small group of islanders, and have curtailed their operations. Hundreds of migrants have arrived on Lesbos since Friday when Turkey opened its borders. From Lesbos, Jean Mackenzie reports

Support Greece if we fall, you are next.

[Kraken]

Carefully selected clips, unlike the reality.

They try to come to Europe because they think we are weak. We are not weak. We are patient. BIG DIFFERENCE.

[gurugeorge]

Oh I though they were "refugees." Are we giving up on that now?

[herbertplumer]

The Greeks defending the boarder are heroes!!

[KaneK]

I GET THAT THEY ARE SUFFERING BUT IT IS *NOT* THE UK’S ISSUE. DO YOU WANT OUR WORLD TO COLLAPSE?

[billynomatz]

Self righteous, Obnoxious BBC reporter telling another country what to do

[joebloggs]

They aren't coming to the UK so forget it.

[raiden]

If they find it so uncomfortable then they should go back home.

[jalaljouda]

Why should Europe take them?
They have enough refuges

[panosvolos]

MKO you are free to leave from Greece. Thank you for your services.

[suzanne]

What bugs me is people continue to have children even when they’re from third world countries. Doubt you need much of an education to think that’s not a good idea.

What exactly does the BBC want here ? Migration needs to be managed or everyone suffers. Letting these people jump the cue is not fair on people's who went through the system properly.

[ReclusiveDuck]

Dear BBC. Why have you put your latest sitcom in the News section?

[roxyponge]

Many European people also sleep outside and have no homes. But you don't care about them.

[THXdoll]

We've got enough problems. Tell them to man up, go home and build their own civilisations.

[giauscaesar]

I stand with Greece once again they are defending the pass to protect Europe & it does not look they are going to fall for this Turkish Trojan horse.

[SkankHunt-nyks]

Send them home to rebuild their own countries and maybe even one day develop them.
