It's a (very) crude attempt to deter anyone setting off to the UK without proper arrangements.
Sounds like there will be an appeal ?

I don't think debating with someone with such an obvious and odious agenda serves any of us any good.

You wouldn't know where Lampedusa is on a map still less have been there or know any of the issues involved. No you're just looking for an excuse to become, again, a frothing red-faced mass of fury. Well fortunate most people on here aren't going to play your little games or give you your cheap thrills.

Yep no debate to be had with the left wing loons ,all they have is you must have an agenda or you're a daily mail reading racist

Yet more irrelevant s##t,I suspect even a lot of Italian's didn't know where Lampedusa is let alone been there,before it became world news and we all found out ,I suppose you've been there eh

Well good for you ,just after they've got over a doddering old socialist visiting they go and get invaded by thousands of sub saharans, jeez it never rains but it pours for those poor islanders
