Migrant Crisis

[oldblue]

Any proof that Australia is somehow more racist than the uk?

he said rife with racism, which is a fairly commonly held opinion. They are also a people who arrived as part of a mass migration that gave no consideration for the people already living there.

One 13 year old girl is racist, which means an entire country is riled with racism.

You obviously have no idea about the case, or indeed about how Goodes is treated pretty much every time he now takes to the field. It's a disgrace.

I have answered this really clearly. you want an answer you can jump on and call unrealistic. you didn't get one. live with it

No, I wanted to know if your moral high ground and vision of utopia would ever feel that a country (or union, as in the EU on this occasion) would/should ever reach a point that they consider regulating immigration (Note: NOT refugees). Your response a few pages back said it would depend on the structures in place being able to cope etc. I agree wholeheartedly, and insist wanted to know if you will steadfastly always have the borders open to everybody, or whether you'd reassess because even your vision of utopia and the free world has its limits.

What a lot of people are articulating is their genuine concern about structures and social resources being stretched to, or beyond, breaking point now, and that we might need to stem the number of economic migrants.

But yeah, migrants offer nothing to society and are a drain on the NHS as they come here to take health holidays and abuse our public systems.

I saw today that a riled Bob Geldof has offered to house some refugee families in his Kent pad, Davington Priory (just outside Faversham), about 1/2 mile from where we live. Fair play even if the offer is unlikely to be taken up.

Wouldn't it be nice of he offered this to the homeless in this country.

That must be dreadful.

Forza UKIP. Can't have those nasty migrants coming into our country and degrading British values and society and breaking our social safety nets.

didn't you agree with a guy who showed one unclear pic and then declared that all refugees don't care about their children?

 

[Billy Dean]

That's a hell of an accusation. It's a country that a lot of Brits want to move to.

Economic migrants. The Aussies shouldn't let them in.

Why does everyone keep using Australia as a yardstick? It's a country that is unfortunately still rife with racism.

Australia's Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is a Liberal.

Is Australia a racist country because it adopts a rigourous immigration process and has imposed its own 'stop the boats' policy re: regional migrants ?

If Britain choses not to adopt an open arms, all welcome, no questions asked policy to those who elect to call themselves migrants / refugees .. then does that make us a racist country too ?

yep. get them out

No. I disagreed. I even quoted you when I disagreed.

Liberal by name, not by nature.

He is 1980's right wing to the bones, and a misogynist and homophobe at that.
A laughing stock amongst Kiwis and many Aussies

Most who don't like them are big benefits claimants themselves and they often contribute more than these leeches to our society given a chance.

it is an opinion that differs from yours. if you see it as the moral high ground, then ta.
as for the other point, again it's been answered. You want an answer I can't give. No-one can. My opinion is that we are not at breaking point and that any current economic issues that we face are down to economic mismanagement that believes cutting services will somehow lead to growth. I am not aware of a nation that has suffered in terms of the wealth of its people as a result of mass immigration. That is all I can base my opinions on, not the opinions of your friends.
