Cites natural law:
The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, has told African and European government ministers that they must accept high levels of cross-border migration.
Mr Gaddafi told ministers gathered for a conference on migration from Africa to the EU that resisting migration “is like rowing against the stream”.“The current populations of the world are originally migrants,” he said.
Libya is hosting a two-day conference aiming to agree a common stance on both legal and illegal immigration.
Ministers from more than 50 European and African countries are attending the conference.
Libya is a key route for thousands of African migrants seeking to cross into Europe to begin a new life.
Mr Gaddafi spoke to a group of ministers gathered at his Tripoli home on Wednesday night.
He told the delegates in Tripoli that migration had complex historical and social roots and was a force of nature that could not easily be ignored.
“Political borders, official papers and identities set for every group of people are new, artificial things not recognised by nature.
“Land is the property of everyone, and God commands all human beings to migrate on Earth to seek a living, which is their right,” he said.

Sorry, wrong pic.
Hump? WHat hump?
Great!
I’m booking a flight for Tripoli right now. Mum’s packing everything the kids and I’ll need to enjoy our new Libyan beach-front property.
If I can convince 8 million of my fellow Anglophiles to migrate to the Mediterranean’s sunny southern shores, the salt-bush and sand dunes will look like Santa Monica in a couple of years.
My question to Qaddafi is, can I migrate to a vineyard or beach in North Africa, and still keep my piece of the American rock?
Mum likes to keep an exit open, you know, just in case things don’t work out. (I think she’s right on this.)

Even though it’s thanksgiving and I’m knee deep in a dazzling wonder of gratitude for all things great and small, I’m still left with this essential question: Why, oh why, should I give a flying, flaming, gob smacking, whip cracking, hairy rats ass what El Jefe thinks about immigration? Haven’t we rendered this guy irrelevant?
And EU? Grow a pair!
Just wait until his folks migrate in your direction and tell me what you think then.
Hehe…
The Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi is the greatest man in this world, but unfortunetely it is hard to understand what you mean
