Perhaps they are worried about diabetic zombies.

Extending this just a bit. But I heard on the news tonight that the United Nations have condemned Greece for the conditions that the "refugees" are living in. Just tents, in local parks.Why dont the United Nations get off their fat a***holes, and get the problems sorted out in these peoples...
