Them Migrants!!

agree with most here, particularly Scep, its about time someone somewhere pulled their finger out, i read an article early this morning Theresa May stating people can only come here “if” they have jobs. a lot of British people don’t have jobs, so was that a slamming of a door in the face of these poor unfortunates?.

My only …….. and yes i do mean “ONLY” problem with migrants and refugees is this. most are genuine.

We visit other countries and have to observe their laws and cultures whatever they may be, i know this because i have travelled extensively, and have to pack accordingly.

“some” of the people settling here, expect us to still observe their laws and cultures to the point (and i can quantify this) british people are beginning to get “scared” one in particular my very good friend Maureen who lives just outside Wimbledon. she was walking home from the shops and decided to take a short cut, was greeted by some muslim lads who told her to “f OFF” it was islam not england in that road and British people are not allowed to use it anymore.

it is little wonder that people have reservations, there have been some bad experiences, even my niece lived in a part of London where the road names arent in English anymore. the land and properties were bought by migrants so what do people expect?.

i agree that something needs to be done about the refugees its horrific what theyre going through, i had a neighbour awhile back from Kurdistan, Sunni muslim. he had been imprisoned in his own country and taken to saudi arabia where he was forced to train as part of their army, he fled, came to the uk and made this his home with his wife, wonderful caring loving couple, learned english got his british passport and has always stayed in touch with me, i was even present at the birth of their daughter and was called Nanna Laine.

I’m in no way racist, im from a multi cultural background myself, black white beige brown, you name it.
i still think those in power need to go watch Carl Sagans video called the pale blue dot it certainly puts life on earth into perspective.

Is this resettlement permanent how do we solve getting these people back to their homeland

I don’t have the time to do the google work which would be needed on this, Trapper, but you seem a dab hand at the PC.

To my knowledge, refugees are placed in refugee centres where they are processed to see if they are genuine refugees or illegal immigrants. These conditions are supposed to be humane (I hope they’re not anything like Yarl’s Wood, an immigration removal centre which has been the subject of a lot of complaints.) though..

If they obtain the right of asylum, they are give accommodation and enough money to live. They return when the country from which they fled is stablised, and then by diplomatic agreement. They may not be able to return.

They have to be returned somehow surely, there’s always going to be some kind of conflict , no nation can just keep taking in refugees. These countries need oil or extreme strategic importance then we might really get involved.

I am curious, am I the only person who thinks that when someone says “I am not racist but…” that yep they are racist.

:wink:

Nations have always taken small numbers of refugees, Trapper.

In the UK, we still have a Polish community of people who had fled the Nazis, and a thriving Jewish community of people who had fled the Tsarist pogroms in Russia over 100 years ago. I have no problem with these.

Do you?

We have to think in terms of the EU n this latest crisis. The region will eventually stabilise to its pre-iraq phase, unless we bomb and plunder them a bit more.

A bigger problem – apart from a government which feeds fear – is the human trafficking and the exploitation of migrants once they arrive here (and I include legal migrants) by unscrupulous British gangmasters.

It seems to be no longer small numbers though, perhaps human trafficking might explain that, greed and morality don’t really go hand in hand.
How long will stabilisation take.. can it stabilise .. Islamic State aren’t just going to moderate and the US particularly aren’t going to sit back and watch.
