I don't think they would be considered heroes of the far left at all.. they couldn't be more opposite. Putin is far-right and extremist.

Oh David Cameron, you were so close to acting like a real human being and not a walking talking sack of sentient dog****.

britain should look after its own, rather than outsiders, how many brits are homeless, and others that are on foodbanks, same time we throw out are elderly, from there homes, and are forced into nursing homes, it shows how the liberals will treat the british people, and give refugees special treatment, left wing parties in europe must stop pandering too outsiders, and put the people who voted for them first, hungry wants to put its people first, and now austria wants too, we should follow example, if europe was in a civil war right now, and we took boats to the middle east, do you think that they would accept us, No, and I wouldn't blame them either, would the arabs accept millions of christians, in there world, bulding churches, eating pork, and at worse, cause an uprising, merkel has scored her own goal in saying that every refugee is welcome to germany, and she will give birth too right wing power in germany, that will grow very strong in a few years time,

Could'nt agree more.These are the people we should be taking in.The real refugees.

No they will have to apply
when they get older.
So not all deported many years later

We despicable, evil British can do nothing but wrong. It is time, alas, for us all to don hair-shirts and flagellate ourselves continuously, but only after we give up every possession that we have worked hard for and made sacrifices in our lives to obtain.

What Cameron is doing is humane, commendable and sensible, and to be applauded.

What irks me most is that we've done a lot... we're doing a lot... we've given a lot... and yet there's a small but very LOUD section of British people who want to tell us all how horrible we all are. Beats me why they don't take themselves off to a more loving, giving country of which they can be proud.

I think any refugees we accept should be un-religionified over a 1 month period explaining to them why gods dont exist and explaining some basic science to them and astronomy

The last thing we need here is more thick twits worshipping gods. Really target the children to stop the parents just repeating the lies they were told

:umm2:

Shut your pie hole LT... you bloody heathen.

I will book a space for you

:hee:

I've already got one for you... a soft spot.


Cley Marshes.

Love ya really

What about the rich arab nations. Surely they would wish to help fellow muslims in need? It seems the only muslim who wants to help is the Egyptian Billionaire.

I can think of worse people :laugh:

Well I am one who is disgusted still at this govts response to this problem.

People who care about decency and I actually consider I do that, I would hate myself if I didn't in fact.
They and I have as much right to say how disillusioned I am and ashamed of the govts and some of my British fellow citizens cold and hardline attitude to these desperate people in turmoil and crisis.

Whether that means because I don't just follow like sheep a hardline uncaring govt and totally useless PMs inaction on this issue and therefore should go to another Country.
Well hey,that thought is indeed very appealing at this time for sure for me.

However,it is in the main, that loud minority,'IF' there is proof it is only a minority, that have in fact helped shame this PM into actually doing more that is more practical and right as to this crisis.

The measures he has announced are indeed welcome but to get applause from me he will need to soften his tone and do far more than this as ongoing into the far future.

:worship: I'll pay their fecking fare.

I consider myself to care about decency, joey. Also, I don't consider myself to be a "sheep". But with everything that's being done just isn't enough for some people. And really, if this is such a stinker of a country, why would you want to be associated with it? Personally, whatever government is in power, I believe the British people will do the right thing, which is endorsed by the sheer amount of cash that people have given, of their own free will, to aid people fleeing conflict. It would be nice, just once, to hear something positive about Britain instead of the same boring anti-government rhetoric.

So everyone should just be the mumbling grumbling majority who believe through pure ignorance that the powers that be are doing a great job and if you don't like it you should just push off?.... How shocking that is to hear as a native of this country lots of noisy people have always wanted to help those in need there was a very good quote in relation to this it really put things in perspective.

'The House this evening has shown a wonderful unanimity of sentiment and feeling, which must gladden the hearts of members in all parts of the House. Within the framework of a feeling of common humanity and a common standard of civilisation members in all parts of the House have filled in a picture which shows the House of Commons at its very best. We are at the turning of roads.. We could never set our hands to a better thing. Tomorrow may be a hard day for us but I feel that by doing the things that are morally right we shall achieve something which is worthy of the name of the British nation.'

So you think that anyone who doesn't agree with you is ignorant. I get that from you.

Don't understand the second emboldened bit.

The last paragraph is by George Osborne, is it not? Not sure what you want to demonstrate with that.

We'll just leave it, shall we? Don't give me any more quotations Kizzy. You have continued to post to me while I've been ignoring you hoping for a reaction and now all you can do is post other people's words.

No, I said ignorance in as much that we are unaware of what is being done covertly by the govt on our behalf.... not that anyones opinion is ignorant.

I mean that many natives do want to aid those in need, myself included.

No it wasn't Osborne it was David Grenfell, a Labour MP, said at the end of the debate about taking Jewish refugees in 1938 it was quoted by Yvette Cooper today.

I was joining in the discussion, if you don't want to respond don't.

the left these days are motivated by hate and jealousy ......they pay lip serice to being kind and caring just to look good and make the rich posh look bad.....yet as new labour proved theyre faker and even greedier than the posh toffs they hate.

That is actually the question I am asking myself more and more,it may well be I decide to move on too,something this govt is making it more easier for me to really consider.
Not just as to this issue but on other areas of govt policy that I find abhorrent to all I totally believe in and would stand for.
That is not for this thread however.

I would hope the majority of British people as a whole will do the right thing and in the end 'demand' the right things are done in their name as to these refugees and people fleeing in terror from their original homeland.
I expect little or none of that 'right thing' without shaming them to do so however from this hardline govt that is still pathetically cowering and looking over its shoulders at the scapegoating views of refugees and immigrants being done by UKIP.

The positives about Britain for me, what made me proud to be British anyway,are fast being eroded by this present PM and govt,his terrible and procrastinated response to this refugee issue is just another highlight of the mans complete incompetence.
Even his own MPs are starting to demand more from him,these and the pressure of condemnations of his cold responses so far,are the only reasons he has now acted differently, although still way short of what he needs to be doing.
Way, way short in my view.

Wonderful summary of how unbritish Britain actually is, we have been torn apart so as to be easier to mould, pitted against one another and now against the 'invaders'.
Regardless of our involvement it smacks of a colonialist attitude towards the 'savages' and that's what saddens me the most.

On PMQs now.

That's some very evocative language there joey.

I can't see anyone here scapegoating genuine refugees. Should more have been done earlier? Well yes, of course. But that could be said of any country. I'm really tired of this whole "you're all horrible and cold" stance. My own family came here as refugees, genuine refugees. Were they let in with open arms? No. There was hell on in all quarters about the amount of Jews coming into the country. opposition to refugees is not something new, although some people seem to think the 30s and 40s was some magical time when Jews were let in and welcomed with open arms... it wasn't like that at all. There is far more done now for refugees than there ever was in the past.

I come from the East End, where there are more than anyone's fair share of refugees. I works for an FE college that recognised 130 languages, where those refugees were welcomed, taught English, taught a trade if they didn't have one or given academic English classes to follow their profession, all free. They were housed, given medical care and could live freely and without fear. Maybe there aren't a lot of refugees where you come from but there are a lot where I come from. Taking refugees isn't a new thing for us we've been doing it for a long time.

The thing that makes my heart sink is that some people don't recognise the good that this country does. Who was the first to land in Africa when the ebola crisis struck? The British army with field hospitals. Who is dragging refugees out of the water in the Med? The Royal Navy. Are they doing it because some people have shamed them? No.

Should we be doing more? Possibly... but we are just one of many and the UK is already the most densely populated country in Europe with a wealth of social problems including homelessness, poverty, an overstretched infrastructure... Germany have taken many more refugees than us because their birthrate has been falling year upon year.

No one here thinks genuine refugees should be turned away. Certainly not I.

So Paddys Tweet is Wrong. Take Note DEZZY

So children will not return when they reach 18
