The brits caused the hatred, and the same happened when labour started an illegal war with Iraq...only it's not the Irish hating us this time due to our own disdain as a nation

What? Muslim terrorism is the reason things got too lax, and is also the reason why people are now turning against refugees? There is nothing in that sentence that makes any sense.
I agree about the illegal wars, but you keep bringing that up as though you feel as though you've caught me out with it, because you get to say labour. I'm not really a labour supporter, they're just realistically the most progressive political party with even the remotest chance of being elected and able to affect change.
I think you miss the point a bit though, our history of redrawing and carving up maps, colonisation, and empire are the real issues that led to the problems in the middle east, as is our overthrowing of governments and our historical support for one despot over another.
