Members of the EC have called an emergency search and rescue meeting, to look for some safe moral highground.
Reputations have been dashed like a small dinghy against a rescue ship, but so far, no-one else has been found responsible for the deaths of hundreds of refugees.
“We thought of blaming the victims, but that didn’t go down well at all”, said Jean-Claude Juncker. “So now we’re hoping to target the people smugglers.”

While helicopters continue to look for an anonymous non-European to pluck out of the carnage and drop in the shit, Italy has started draining the Mediterranean to try and halt the influx of little boats.
