People are escaping repressive regimes, war or just looking for a better standard of living. The English language might favour coming here.
I actually think this country is a pretty good place to grow up. Last edited by James; 17-06-2020 at 04:10 PM. |

If the holocaust was happening today, I'd love to see what our anti-asylum seeker brigade would be saying.
Germany's a modern country, why are they coming here? People are fleeing genocides, apartheid, war zones (often started by our empire and it's passion for redrawing maps) etc.

Agreed, this country really isn't that bad, it's actually rather good on the whole.

It really doesn't take a genius to figure it out. You really can't say that regardless of what happens in Europe, North America or AU/NZ, it's less safe than third world countries or countries that are badly struggling.
People know this from talking with the immigrants themselves, personal stories (like my parents who left their respective countries to come to France), History as a whole, geopolitics etc And let's not forget that most migration movements are mainly within countries of the same region. |

Every social program is a bet on society. Firstly, wanting freedom and a better life is also a valid desire. Pretty sure if Essex (think that's where you live, but apologies if wrong) turned into a war zone, you wold also look to move, so being born where we were born is nothing more than an accident. I'm not really a fan of pulling up the ladder to prevent others from receiving the same opportunities that I had.

What do I do then, ask the government for free travel to get to the place I want, or do I use the money I've obviously got already saved up. Do I then gamble my life on unsafe travel to escape the non warzone of my native country so I can be a greedy bastard and make more money. |

This is a great country to live in on the whole, we are looked after and helped when needs must, we have the opportunity to make our lives good and good health facilities, we haven't got it all right but we are learning, The UK is the best imo and the only other country i want to live in is America.

People really can't let valid criticisms of this country and its government go without jumping to blind patriotism and "at least we aren't Syria!!!!" rhetoric, and it's quite a childish response lmao

So what exactly is the main point? The holocaust, or wondering aloud what our insular racists would say about helping others?

We have talked about refugees on here for years and years it's hardly dismissing all the others just because I want to discuss the vietnamese ones. That's a very weak reply, one that directed my direct question round to me being unable to show empathy.. |
