It isn’t clever or necessarily true - but they don’t care - they will attach that label to suit.

People then develop a tough skin - they have to.

Can I just ask the people who would fill our small island with these people ...... Do you have a spare room or a sofa ,if so why don't YOU take a few of them into your home ?

[Livia]

Our infrastructure is under enormous pressure, people are homeless, people are jobless, the NHS is struggling... there is no more room to be able to allow people to wander in. We must of course continue take genuine refugees, especially families, through the UN. We can't let everyone in because they think it's easier here.

yeah ok maybe not in UK is the ideal place for some of the families, perhaps in another country where there are less problems


UK should solve it's own problems first and then think of this tbh

No.

We shouldn't have open borders, it's impossible to accept all asylum seekers let alone other immigrants. That's true. Here's the thing though;

You don't have to be vicious about it.

The jeering, spitefulness and hatred directed at migrants themselves is completely unnecessary. No it's not possible for the world to move to Europe and solutions need to be found... But if it was any of us in one of these struggling countries, we would be doing the exact same thing.

We don't have to abandon empathy and compassion in order to control our borders. People can be turned away considerately without resorting to bleating "nyyyeeeerrrrrr dirty get back to yer own country!!".

It's because people like that don't really have a leg to stand on in an argument unless they misrepresent things to suit their viewpoints. Any kind of empathy towards immigrants = WE WANT OPEN BORDERS! LET EVERYONE IN!

The whole blaming of 'liberals' and all the twisted arguments fall apart when you look at things realistically but that would mean people who use those arguments would have to listen to things they don't want to hear and that'll never happen. Who cares about the truth or facts as long as someone's spinning a tale that appeals to you?

"It happens, therefore ALL of them are doing it and that's why they come to the UK"

Such blinkered, small-minded, extremist logic.

And on just about every SD thread, Dezzy for a long time now - YOU are the main culprit for REACHING and PREACHING and misrepresenting and spinning false facts to suit your agendas.

And THAT is a FACT.

have you noticed, how of all topics it's usually immigration where some people behave appallingly and use appalling language? and resist discussing it calmly and reasonably?
hatred of immigrants and immigration is so deep in some, discussing it in a civilised manner is simply too much, they can't help getting hysterical

A derogatory comment based on nothing but prejudice tbh.

You know it's bad when people are starting to demonise immigrants who are fleeing for their lives....

I think you'll find that on the topic of religion across serious debates over the last year there has been a clear agenda shown from yourself and another member.

Look back across the threads and that will be shown to be a fact.

So unless Dezzy is willing to offer accommodation to immigrants he must talk about them like they're not even human beings? I don't see your logic here at all Chuff

[Twosugars]

there is a subtle difference between discussing the issue calmly and constructively and calling immigrants rapists

Based on what?

I've always backed up what I've said with logic or facts. You're just doing what you are accusing me of doing and conveniently forgetting what I've said so you can overwrite it with your own fiction.
