Germany have announced that they are accepting 800,000 Syrian refugees whilst the UK has accepted 216.
Shocking.
Surely Margaret Thatcher was right when she sang:
"What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough for the world and all its got
Keep it boiling for a hundred years or more
Turn out coffee coloured people by the score"
Exactly.
And there's some big houses in London that could house lots of refugees.Buckingham Palace. St James Palace. Windsor Castle. Sandringham..to name but a few.
At least they would be put to good use.

.........yes that's and a good idea . We are after all the perfect example of immaculate democracy , fair play and compassion .
Everything that they are escaping from isn't , but rather than adopt the same principles and ideology they don't .
They have dictatorships , medieval indoctrination , archaic religious beliefs and a hatred for Western values . Sharia law , beheadings , and the slaughter of innocents is common place . We are damned if we do , and damned if we don't .
It's a toxic mix of cruelty , terrorism and an overwhelming determination to divide and conquer ultimately creating their own country .
Personally , I'd leave them to it . I've seen enough . If they can't live a peaceable life and control their own , then why should I give up the front bedroom . Similarly , as rich and as aloof the Royal family is .....why should they ?
Would you ? Because you will be paying for it through your taxes . I'm sure they'd like the view across the Roaches ....

Totally agree They'd rather flee in their thousands and try to change another country rather than stay and fight to save their own country and mould it into a better place. And you wonder why the world is so unstable. Too much change is happening to fast and and it's creating a powder keg society.

And you wonder why the world is so unstable. Too much change is happening to fast and and it's creating a powder keg society. The reason these people are fleeing their homelands is because Uk, US and allies bombed and invaded Iraq under the guise of "liberation" from Mr Hussain. Those same allies forgot to think about what to do after the conflict - assuming that western-style law and order would evolve. Then ISIS rose up on the back of the disorder and rising local resentments and internal religious tensions, spread through and across the Syria-Iraq border, created a new state (IS) across that border and now it's utter mayhem in the entire region. The region is unstable for a reason.

There's no western forces in the region .
Who are they fleeing from now ?
Why are they killing their own ?
Why are they slaughtering innocent civilians ?
The reason why the region is unstable is because they themselves are unstable .
Why are British Muslims fighting for the terrorist cause ?

The region is unstable for a reason. I thought they invaded under the guise of WMD. Yep. The allies claimed Sadam Hussain had the capability to obtain WMD and that he had threatened and used them his own people (The Kurds in the north of Iraq). Main point is, though, that the Iraq conflict and subsequent rise of ISIS and instability in the region was a direct result of western intervention.

Makes you wonder if they caused all this to not only distabilise the middle east but Europe as well It may be worth looking up exactly how many refugees from the region the U.S. has or has intended to take in, alongside precisely how much support it has provided in terms of aid. I suppose it depends upon your own perspective. If you feel the allies genuinely wanted to get rid of Sadam, but cocked up the rebuilding of Iraq because they underestimated local and religious tensions in the region, then you could view it as a horrific accident. If, on the other hand, you feel the allies deliberately sought to destabilise the region then you have to factor in Israel and the Palestinian conflict, too, and then figure out precisely why. I don't think the "deliberate" approach stands up, really, given there are too many ponderables. On balance it was a horrific miscalculation which we'll probably pay the price for for a very long time. It isn't the fault of the refugees, it's the fault of those who caused the refugee crisis.

I don't judge a man or his country on how many refugees he takes in .
I judge a man and his country on its democracy and success in the global market place .
As far as I am aware , no one has asked how many North Korea has taken in .

So why head to Europe? Why not head to rather wealthy and sparely populated states such as Saudi, UAE, Kuwait, ....?
Surely culturally they'd be far more at home there?

Nobody can accuse the Conservative Party of lacking compassion now.
They criticised Labours Immigration (along with all the Right Wing posters on here) but they've allowed ten times more immigrants in.
Probably close to a million this year already.
But we're still way behind the Germans.
Why not build a tunnel from Calais under England that comes out in Wales? Plenty of space there. Immigrants could chop down trees, build log cabins and learn how to sing in Welsh.
"We'll keep a welcome in the Hillside"
"Land of Our Fathers"
"Your support is fucking shit"

For you me and the man on the street it's bad news......for big companies and the government it's good news as they're able to lower wages If it was of benefit to us all to allow any tom, dick and Harry and in unlimited numbers into the country I'd be as happy as you are acting But it's not, unless your are looking for a mini china
