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.

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.
