The captain seems to have been completely hung out to dry by both his employers and the coastguard. Whatever happened to waiting for a proper enquiry?
Fair point and as a rule i would think many would normally agree with you,however this does seem to fit the saying 'Actions speak louder than words' ?

Reminds me of a few Brighton "fans" at the palarse game
fork me
I have changed this
...and in the meantime British girl Rose Metcalf, 22, working on the ship as a dancer was one of the last off the ship as she stayed behind to do her allocated roll call and get as many passengers as she could safelt off the ship.
I guess the Italian captain was two busy working out if there was another side he could switch to...
I know someone who left a top executive job at the best hotel company here in Dubai to go and work for Costa Cruises in Italy, building up their brand and profile. Monday was his first day in the job. A job that suddenly got a whole lot harder.

This. I've always struggled to trust mediterraneans. Maybe it comes from years of watching the dive and cheat on the football field.

A man rang the Airfix Model shop and asked, "Do you have a model of an Italian cruise liner?"
The shopowner said, "Yes".
The man said, "Brilliant! Can you put it on one side for me please".

Their tanks had 6 reverse gears and 1 forward gear in case they got attacked from behind.

It's pretty shocking watching on the news. I'm not surprised though - my mum always says - Italians are shifty - in the war it was a case of "last in, first out"!!!! Nothing changes obviously!!!

Lots of people writing off an entire nation of 60m based on the actions of one cowardly tosser. Seems harsh to me, and about as reasonable as it would be to assume that we are a nation of feral hooligans who can't cope with alcohol, which is also bollocks.

It sounds racist to me. The captain will be investigated and if the enquiry shows that he acted in a cowardly manner. then he will be tried for manslaughter.

I don't know - while it sounds bad, very bad for him, it is very difficult to understand the context and I cannot begin to imagine the confusion that must have been going on in total darkness. I'll wait to see what really happened, but it sounds like a lot of things went wrong.
RACISTS .......... Is there not a view even if offensive that anyone can offer without this being thrown around.
I have tapped into my prejudice and cartoon stereotype and somehow accepted that this is not totally surprising, after all he is Italian.
But then again where did the Coastguards high morals and professionalism come from, surely he is British.

I'm starting to worry about NSC. Is no one going to comment on the fact that you can virtually see the whole of her left breast?
Oh I have...
