Banksy unmasked here
You forgot the inflatable boat loaded with 100 migrants wallowing in the Med, 50 miles out from Libya. What strikes me as particularly poignant about that situation is we will never know how many set off, never make it to Europe and are not intercepted by naval ships from EU nations.
