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.

Hays. I take your point. Don't fully agree. Happy to take the 100k from refugee camps as you say. On the Irish question how did you deal with the Irish settled in UK. No worries about them??

a real Canadian would disown you

The troubles will kick off again in Ireland. The Republicans joined into the power sharing agreement under the misguided belief that it would lead to a united Ireland one day. At some stage it will become apparent that this is incorrect and they are wasting their time. This will then lead to a resurgence of violence.

jimmy the child on the beach murderer by ids fathers greed if that was a brittish person he would be charged with murder . the man is evil and is lust for free hand outs killed is children and wife a murder in the first degree

will10 we put them all in jail ,look at the Birmingham 6 or the Guildford 4

You do not speak as a Canadian would absolutely not will10.

Jim . You're diverting away from the point. We know that last year there were 600k migrants. But there were'according to Hays 5k refugees ( I think that 5k is over 3 years but I go with 5k a year). If we can put a man on the moon we can work out who is a refugee. Surely we can house 100k refugees in the UK. The migrant issue is something else . Remember of the 300k nett migrants some were students some nurses and many came for jobs.
My point is UK needs to get off its lardy arse and house refugees. I accept we can do it from the camps or off the boats just do it and 100k + would not be a problem

Will any do gooders answer my post 62524 ?

Do you live on Fantasy Island ? Maybe it won't effect you with your private health care and a home of your own and a job/good company pension.

Jimb. What was his job then. What were his housing conditions??

having whizzed through today's verbiage, it seems to me that no one on here is differentiating between immigrant scallywags and economic refugees, and those who can truly be classed as legit asylum seekers

the point made by someone that the father of the drowned child was actually settled and working in turkey is very valid ...... however, it still highlighted the plight of the genuine political refugees, albeit from a false starting premise

btw, i think i read today that Oz is taking 12,000 syrian refugees

A plan to share tens of thousands of refugees among European nations has been unveiled by the President of the European Commission.

In an impassioned inaugural State of the Union speech in Strasbourg, Jean-Claude Juncker detailed a refugee quota system to ensure EU member states share the burden of the biggest movement of people into Europe since World War Two.

He said the redistribution of 160,000 refugees across EU member states has to be done in "compulsory way".
federal eu is this what the uk wants I think not

62536 - i care not about how much this chap was earning or about his living conditions ..... the fact is that he and his family are or were just economic refugees and therefore uk has no obligation, moral or otherwise to offer his ilk anything at all
