Quite possible the virus will advance the break up of the European Project and single currency. UK may well find the Channel is of great importance in many ways. IMHO EU countries without proper borders and huge numbers of people allowed to enter on political grounds will have huge issues. It is important we are able to effectively identify refugees and separate them from economic migrants. The days of young men travelling around in groups and claiming to be 15 etc etc has to be stopped. Refugees must be protected Let's see SP and the board trying to line up for a piss in the AW toilets at half time before peddling the new stand. We're the Arthur over here and the facilities are a disgrace

Originally posted by Nicholas91 To take refuge is to seek the nearest possible place of safety. They are all economic migrants, not refugees. Exactly. If mine or my family’s life was in danger and I had to flee then as soon as I crossed a safe border I would fall to my knees and thank God. I wouldn’t then carry on across another dozen borders to get my country of choice. As you say, all who arrive here are economic migrants as the UK does not border anywhere with troubles. Not that there is anything necessarily wrong with people wanting a better life, but we need to say it how it is. "It feels much better than it ever did, much more sensitive." John Wayne Bobbit

Russian nationalism won't matter. They will be hit hardest of all - if they were pre-empting the virus with any vigour, we'd all know about it. It will trigger a new Russian Revolution; and there's only one person they'll blame - Tsar Vladimir.

I'm not being critical, many people do and I've never really thought about it.
