Migrant Crisis

[bflefc]

People on here should be aware by now that my political leanings are left of centre. I've made that quite clear on other threads. I'm saying my piece on this and not debating a single issue I'm raising; as I know where it'll lead.

My view on this is that accepting thousands of asylum seekers/ refugees will cause more problems than it solves. There's already far more than enough disenfranchised British citizens as it stands. Adding to the numbers will cause more resentment, more stresses on finances, public services etc.

And, of course, they'll be the first ones 'offended'. We'll no doubt have to pander to their 'sensitivities' after taking them in. Their gratitude will not extend to having to accept the same rules as everyone else. I'm convinced of it. Thoroughly convinced.

One thing I've noticed though; the vast majority of these refugees/asylum seekers at the train station in Budapest (As well as everywhere else) are young men of military age.....

Take them in by all means. But once the crises are over and their countries are deemed safe, they're on the first planes back. Every man jack of them.

Best post of the thread if you ask me. And, coming from someone who declared their leftward leanings, to me it speaks volumes.

Very good observation about the vast majority of refugees/asylum seekers being young men of military age. I'd wager a hefty amount that, if it were possible to truly discern their countries of origin, the lion's share wouldn't be from where they claim to be from (usually Iraq, Syria, Eritrea or Afghanistan).

As an aside - how many spare bedrooms have buck pal, windsor castle, sandringham house, balmoral etc got?

'try shaking your box in front of the queen' sums a lot up

38 per cent of Syrians are under the age of 24 so it would follow a hefty percentage would be young.

So you're now agreeing with David Cameron on the migrants and opposing paying out benefits, you're in the pub aren't you........

In essence, the Hungarians are right.

So why aren't they fighting ISIS? They must've been happy enough under Assad, because there weren't anywhere near as many 'refugees' or 'asylum seekers' as there is now.....

Which bit of 'they were all Germans' did you not get. It was a country split into two by a communist regime that was then reunited. If the Uk was split into two by Russia and then reunited we would do the same, because it is family. But don't try and suggest there was an altruistic element to it.......

Apart from the bit in bold being factually incorrect (there were plenty of Russians, Poles and other East Europeans), as well as being indicative of a POV much like a little Englander, 600k people moved west in the 12 months after the wall came down. The west wasn't ready for such an influx, it wasn't planned, but they moved quickly to accommodate.

If only....

Fact is, if we accept all sorts of refugees they'll have to be housed. The grossly unfair bedroom tax has already seen to a diaspora of the poor and an exodus from the capital in particular.

More will be forced out of their homes to accommodate families of asylum seekers & refugees. It will not end well.

Excellent, so they'll have no trouble taking in a few Syrians........

They weren't being bombed, mutilated and driven from their homes under Assad. Ten percent of the population are Christians : uncertain future to say the least :

I think I'm right in saying that any housing of refugees or asylum seekers takes place outside of London and the south-east as there are more houses available elsewhere. That or the elite don't want the scruffs in their back yard (yes I know some of you will think that)
