Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Jimbo,

As I alluded to above, the do gooders on this thread are in the minority. Their views don't count for anything.

I agree with your post 62493 hilary.

You are on the wrong side of history.

https://yougov.co.uk/news/2015/09/06/no-increase-syrian-refugee-numbers/

Most British people say there should be no increase in admissions of Syrian refugees – and concerns over immigration have reached an all-time high

Of the people who can put a number on how many Syrian refugees Britain should take, 50% say it should be zero.

The tories had 37% of the votes in the 2015 election.

Personally, I would chip in to buy a sinking boat to put the hairy one on!


Far better than letting her back into the UK.

Hope she is not avoiding Tax.

Hilary/jimbo. Way to go. As long as you're all right everyone else can fuck off. Nice altitude. The refugees are the EU/UK's problem. Not everyone ignores those in need. I'd say your views represent the minority of UK residents. Time to step up. What have refugees done to you to make you such a barrel of laughs? The last election did not vote on the refugee crisis. We expect our government to do the right thing

will are you saying they are all refuges ? because a lot of them are not ,read my post 62491.
Why should millions of people come to the UK ?

Jimb. I said 600k+ migrants welcomed into UK last year. Hays says 5k+ were refugees from syria. I said UK should step up. An additional 100k refugees could be taken in. That's a total of 700k+. Where's the problem??

The problem is that the people of the UK voted for a government that had a firm grip on immigration. Most people reluctantly accept that Eastern Europeans are allowed to travel freely into the UK, but they don't like it, and they certainly don't see why so many non-EU nationals are allowed in.

I know that not all muslims are terrorists, but it's funny how all terrorists seem to be muslims!

If the immigration quotas are increased, the resentment of indigenous Brits towards immigrants of all forms will worsen, and I can say quite categorically that the EU referendum to be held in 2017 will result in the UK leaving the EU.

By the way, didn't you say a few pages ago that you're an immigrant yourself?

Part of the problem is that as can be seen from numerous polls, the public do not want the refugees to come here. You may not like that, but it looks like you are in a minority. Not only don't the public want the sort of numbers that you are talking about, but they don't want ANY.

700K where's the problem ?

will10 that's the size of the population of one of our major cities ! put that together with all the East Europeans coming here ,we are an island for god's sake .

Hilar . Yes I'm from Canada. I am talking about refugees . There were 600k + migrants last year, subtract 350 uk residents that left, to get nett migration. Not all were refugees. This has been rising over the last few years.
There are about 6 million refugees from war torn countries. Many seek refuge in Europe. The EU and UK should get off there arses and accept some of these. It wouldn't be a problem for the UK to accept 100k+ refugees. This is on top of the nett migrant numbers. So can the UK cope with 400k+ nett. Yes it can no problem.
Hays. Disagree. Our so call MPs are moving behind the public opinion labour talks about 10k + Tory 5k+ snp??. . How can UK turn a blind eye and say they are morally justified on taking 5k per year out of 4million. Bet before 12 months is out we take many many more. The alternative ..... Will you stand wringing your hands saying I'm morally right it is not my problem someone else can do it. The UK once a world leader now a disgrace. How have we fallen so far??

will10 Canada has loads of space you could house them all .

Hilary. Not all terrorists are muslims. You got you logic wrong. Plenty of non Muslim terrorists around.

Jimb. Yes it has and Canada does. But still doesn't let EU/UK off the hook. Step up man start lifting your share of the load.

True. Many terrorists are non Muslim. However, the current threats in Europe and the UK in particular are from Muslim terrorists. When I say current, I mean for the last few years.

This worry regarding terrorism from Muslim sources is relevant in that the refugees are in the main Muslim and from a country overrun by terrorists. In fact the majority of the refugees are fleeing the very same terrorists. The problem for us is how we distinguish between a genuine refugee from a terrorist pretending to be a refugee. The only way is to process people prior to accepting them. I know it is tough, but our big advantage is that we are an island and not party to the Schengen agreement.

in around 50 years it will be the white brits fleeing the uk for safety but no where to run too make know mistake the days of a white uk is coming to an end

will10,

Out of curiosity, do you have a vote in UK elections?

Hays. How did you screen the Irish in the Uk when the army was fighting the IRA. Were all Irish banded from England.??

Sorry will10 but in my opinion this will ruin the UK.

No one answered my post that the child dead on the beach was the child of a man who was working in Turkey , not a man escaping a war he had already moved ,he chose to risk his kids to go to Europe .
