Migrant Crisis

It's a huge problem and only way to solve it is to call McGyver

If I were a top civil servant tasked by the government with resettlling refugees / migrants in this country, I imagine I'd ask the government these questions:

How many will there be?

Which councils in the U K should I approach for accommodation?

What money will be available to increase health, education and social care provision in those areas?

Where will I recruit the extra personnel for health, education and social care?

How will you "sell" this to local populations to avoid conflict? Should policing provision be increased in these areas?

Cool heads asking hard questions are far more likely to provide a clear picture of what is required and how it can be achieved if there is the political will and social consensus that something should be done.

Calling MacGruber would be more fun.

Long story but I had to change units so missed out on Telic 2.

Thats a shame, no doubt you would have enjoyed shooting dark people

I won't lie, I wept when I saw it on the news. The image is burnt into my brain

This is why I always stay away from such images on the internet.

My first rule of law regarding the internet is to always protect my own psyche first and foremost. I've become very skilled in avoiding things that cannot be unseen.

It's heartbreaking.

The EU needs to get its act together. Countries can't act independently of each other - it needs coordination.

So do the Gulf states.

You forgot to ask THE most important question, which has also been absent from any of this debate across the preceding 8 pages or so:

If we open the borders and relax entry regulations, how do we know the identity and background of each individual?

There are many, many ISIS and other fighters who we really don't want to slip through undetected (many already do, and that's with usual checks etc). But hey, the liberal do-gooders and drama queens don't think about the next steps, do they?

Remember Katie Hopkins, in her column for the Sun, called these refugees parasites, and actively welcomed turning them back. Well these are the bloody consequences of that Katie. Awful awful pictures

"NO, I don't care. Show me pictures of coffins, show me bodies floating in water, play violins and show me skinny people looking sad. I still don't care".

I would pity her if she wasn't given a national outlet to spout her bile.

I wonder how much UK money Cameron was willing to spend on NATO bombing Syria a couple of years ago?

Can't afford to help them though. No money. No space. Poor dears. Send them more bombs.

if you email supporter@fluechtlinge-willkommen.de you can get information on adding your own house/flat to the scheme and take in one or more of the migrants as soon as possible.

Alternatively, I've spoken to these guys before and they're a great bunch, I'm sure they'd be only too happy to extend their scheme to Britain to help the integration of refugees into society.

I don't know what the drama queens and liberal do - gooders think. I imagine that if the government decide to take in a significant number of people, they will form some sort of committee to oversea arrangements and that part of its remit will be to require policing agencies to come up with workable ideas to vet would be asylum seekers.

My post was limited to how domestic solutions would or should be approached.

When you see the rest of Europe, particularly Germany and Iceland being so open to the prospect I think it makes you think about it more. Clearly in the UK there is a stigmata towards immigrants in certain parts. I'm not going to get into whether it's justifiable or not. The fact of the matter is that these people are living in a warzone, in areas where they are or a member of their family is certain to die in if they don't move. Then the problem lies in immigrating and the dangers that come with that.

Who are we to turn people away? They want the same life as the rest of us but just haven't been as fortunate in where they're born.

It's mainly for political reasons. Cameron wants us to stay in the EU. If he were to let in many migrants because the EU want us too, many people would vote to leave.
