I read about the cruise ship from Princess Cruise Lines which cancelled a stopover due to safety concerns because accommodation for asylum seekers has been built perilously close to the dock. Subsequently heard the same story on BBC World which confirmed to me that they are concerned with their own safety. Not that of the asylum seekers.

And the locals are whining because they will miss the vibrancy that a cruise ship brings. Oh dear. I guess there is vibrancy and then there is vibrancy. And we do not want the kind of vibrance which people with a different skin colour brings.

I hate people. Present company excepted, of course, but as a species, we humans are pitiful, abominable assholes.
