It's a simple point, all people are born equal but as you develop into an Adult your choices will make you more or less valuable to society in general terms of course.

Also your moral compass can have a bearing about how you are perceived as an adult, therefore a religious nutter going about jihadying everyone who crosses his path, is not as "valuable" as a doctor or skilled peaceful worker.

I see the BBC are almost cumming in their pants over this, just watched there coverage on the news as normal it's all the nawsty wasty Torys fault.

You see I believe there are easy answers, they may not be palatable by the yuuuman rights Brigade and those of a mung bean persuasion. However the answers are simple.

If syria is as war torn as is being made out, (it isnt by the way) then all those fleeing for their lifes should be housed in the nearest neighboring countries, we just the UK alone set up Camp Bastion in Afghan from Nothing in the middle of the Desert, it catered for 32,000 personnel, and could be renovated (or built again) for less money than the idiotic w***ers of the SNP spent on Gaelic road signs that only 1% of the people of Scotland can read. Get other NATO countries to do the same and problem solved.

The answers are simple. getting countries to work together is not.

That's for our government to decide and something that, no matter our stance, we will observe rather than participate in. What I think will happen is that there will eventually be a broader agreement across Europe to take in a certain amount per country. Possibly this will ramp up the need for a stronger push against ISIS too. How any of this will pan out who knows. Whatever happens, or doesn't, is going to disadvantage someone, of course.

My primary point was though, that I don't blame people for wanting to get out and I think to an extent that there is bravery involved whether they stay or go. I certainly don't buy into this outlook that these refugees are lesser for leaving or only looking for a meal ticket.

Oh dear.

Time to move forward together.
