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.

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.
