We should work out where every bomb or bullet came from and allocate refugees accordingly although that ignores the fact that they're already away from said munitions in France. Conveniently the French also overlook that along with all the luvvies visiting them.

It's worth noting that reprisals against our military action in the form of terrorism are also par for the course according to those on the left so this outpouring of guilt strikes me purely as a symptom of the middle-class condition.

The 'why' seems a bit simplistic to me and, as is the case with many such ideals the 'what' is pretty flawed when broken down in to any detail.

My guess would be that what they want for the refugees is a better life in which case I don't think they should be relying on those without the luxury of millions of pounds from sh1t songs and nepotism to be providing it.

Perhaps the backlash against her is harsh but we'd all be happier to see her sticking her hand in her pocket and might even be inclined to do so ourselves. A friend went to the Jungle and said it was full of clueless rich kids belonging to projects which offered a lot less than what he provided, which was a bit of graft with a hammer and nails.

I notice Sarah Parish and her husband are building a paadiatric hospital for the entire south of England! How about these other idiots get together and actually do something other than issue egotistical misplaced apologies based on their own sense of guilt?

Not if you lived through the 70s

You could always do more, I expect the Red Cross are crying out for people to be in Syria doing humanitarian work...

I thought it was head for Germany if you wanted a job. Plenty of opportunities because the Germans need to keep their vast industrial machine moving.

Why here I am not so sure. Possibly our language and they think we would be less hostile, but they would also be aware we have free health care and a relatively generous benefits system. That must sound like Utopia to them.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

I'm sure it was on this forum a while back that somebody posted some stats proving it was a bit of a fallacy that Britain was an attractive prospect for migrants. On nearly every category we were one of the worst options there was for migrants or asylum seekers (I can't remember which the stats related to if I'm honest). I mention this without this particular comment expressing a desire for or against mass immigration in this country, just that there were some interesting stats out there.

First point.. there is a difference between asylum seekers/refugess and Economic Migrants. It is not our duty to take any Economic Migrant who wishes to live here. The Geneva Convention states that a refugee should seek asylum in the FIRST safe country they encounter..how many in the "jungle" have done this.
Second point... there are the Official figures and then there are the correct figures!! I will leave you to think about this.
