Here's a question for all of you that think our country taking in thousands of refugees is a good thing/or that it will help the situation etc, etc... Q. How many tramps/homeless people do you have living with you in your home?

How many tramps/homeless people do you have living with you in your home? It's not down to individuals to resolve. I think as a nation we should have the opportunity to discuss the situation and to face our moral responsibilities if we decide that we should do more. Otherwise, we just invite chaos and indeterminable policy. It's just another example of short-termism and dodging the issue from our pathetic politicians.

The picture of that little boy unset me considerably, despite the knowledge that I and anyone opposed to completely unrealistic immigration provision had nothing to do with that child's death. That child's death was all to do with the stupidity and recklessness of the boy's father. It is frankly disgusting but typical of certain people to suggest otherwise. The west owns no one a house and a job....We can't even house our own. The point of a state is to look after its own.....Not others. Help is reasonable, and we are already correctly contributing to providing to this crises by providing UN funds that are feeding and housing people. We should take what our government considers reasonable asylum. What Germany thinks....matters nothing......They and Sweden are partly responsble for this mad dash in the first place. Let them take them.
I'm not criticising your views as such, it just reads as though you are so defensive about your insular position that you are pointing the finger at anyone else, even if they are a conveniently abstracted figure absent from reality. As for your claim that 'the point of a state is to look after its own', that is just factually inaccurate. Every state in history has had a foreign policy, be it an aggressive one or a benevolent one, and particularly as we move in to an era in which capital is increasingly mobile, in which climate change and war are displacing millions of people and in which resources are growing scarcer and scarcer, viewing nations as separated from each other appears to me a bit silly.

Once you reach a safe haven as a refugee and decide to move on to somewhere that you favour or may be profitable you become a migrant. That changes your status on the political landscape. Also why risk your families lives to move on from a safe country like Turkey.

There is a callous attitude displayed by some on here towards those in need that weren't born here. I don't think censoring grim realities particularly helps that.
This picture has undeniably resulted in a change in tone of how this crisis is reported, even in the right wing rags. It's also no doubt contributed to the decision to take more refugees in. So there's that. The tone of how it's reported has sunk to a woman thinking it's ok to photograph a dead child. And people being encouraged to view that image, as it gets shared around the world. The fact that there are more refugees, and countries being forced to act like they 'care', means more refugees are being taken in. Taking a picture is wrong / sick but not wanting to help isn't? What's wrong did it put you off your cornflakes? There's a very real problem at the moment and not doing anything simply isn't an option. It doesn't stop people from coming does it?

Surely if you have fled a war which began a few years ago and you have a family, your aspirations are going to be a bit higher than living in a tent eating gruel for a decade?

Matthew Pinsent nailed it @matthewcpinsent: 80yrs ago Nicholas Winton organised trains to get children safely to the UK. We later knighted him. What the hell have we become?

I bet old Pinsent, who is directly descended from Thomas Howard, 2nd Duke of Norfolk.....who rowed for Eton, has a nice house to live in......I bet he doesn't compete for a job with immigrants. I bet he doesn't have to spend hours waiting for a GP appointment The man enjoyed a life amongst the elites....Never had to muck it out. Yeah, what have we become Matthew......Did you complain about having it better than over ninety percent of the country or did you just take the advantages.
