Eurovision Song Contest has never been my cup of tea although as children it was fascinating sitting in front of a black and white TV and watching groups like ABBA and wondering who would be the winner of the contest.
It is very shocking to read that civilians left to starve and die as they were hoping for a safer and better life somewhere else in a different part of the world.
No rescue effort was attempted to save the lives of 61 people who were left to perish, which included several women and young children in a boat which left Tripoli, Libya for safety in March this year to reach the island of Lampedusa.
