Migrant Crisis

[hullefc]

Is the UK supposed to open its doors to the entire populations of Africa. Asia and the Middle East?

Oh deary, deary me.

Oh deary, deary me.

You keep saying that. But offer nothing.

The fact is. Syria is a tragedy.

However Russia vetoed any action to stop the slaughter as did the UK parliament


This isolationism has caused this result

How about a fair share of the desperate refugees with the rest of Europe?

Many of which will probably end up here anyway

I hope we roll out a red carpet for them.

Why? They all signed up to an agreement between themselves.

I am saying it's politically convient to Germany and it's politicians

As they see migration controls as a threat to their economy more than anything else.

It's easy for them to criticise as a result

Yeah, I know. And I'm saying that, regardless of said convenience, there's a more pressing issue at hand. Do you disagree?

I know someone already linked a petition but this is the parliamentary one: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/105991

Sign it and share it somewhere, Twitter or Facebook or wherever.

Really this is the sort of petition that should require anyone signing it to either guarantee housing a refugee family at their own expense, or giving a set amount of money to contribute towards the same end.

Because it's time to de-politicise it when thousands of people are dying trying to cross parts of the Med in little more than inflatable boats.

Or maybe pay tax, as I'm sure we all do.

but how does what you are proposing stop them crossing parts of the Med in little more than inflatable boats?

Oh aye, but when my kids will be getting a much worse deal than I did from the state (in terms of no free higher education, worse schools, worse emergency services and a less efficient NHS) - despite me paying more than my parents - already, you will forgive me for suggesting that those who want to extend the hand of friendship should actually have to pay some of that themselves.
