SS you want all refugees to stay in huge overcrowded refugee camps in the middle east where they can't work or live a normal life until the war is over (which might not happen for some years) to return to a destroyed country? do you consider this humane? and who are you to decide where somebody is entitled to go or not? these people choose to come to Europe for a better life. can you blame them? the west has built its wealth on the back of developing countries for centuries, and when crisis emerges there you just think it's their problem and not ours?
By the same token why are you entitled to demand that these people come here, and more crucially why are they entitled to demand to come to the UK, Germany and Sweden specifically.. instead of trying for the first developed nation they come to. Everyone keeps glossing over this fact.. we can't have everyone demanding to come to three nations out of nearly 30 nations, that is bullshit. Especially given the UK's population relative to the EU in total, and the density of population. As has been said, we are full.
Do I blame them? Depends on who we're talking about. The wave of people barging through the EU at present.. I have a hard time having sympathy for these people because from their actions and demands they betray an air of entitlement, not of refugees in crisis. I imagine there are refugees in the camps who probably share my sentiments about their associates who have decided they can try and jump the queue. For the people waiting in the camps patiently, I do have sympathy for.
The last sentence.. I do not agree with being guilt tripped about my nations history. Aside from the fact I had nothing do with it, we did what other nations would have done if they had the chance. Dominance, aggression, being the strongest.. it is what pushes civilization along. Blood comes with that. That is nature. I feel no guilt about that what so ever. I
did for a long time, courtesy of my middle class and well educated upbringing.. until I actually examined my thinking and saw I had been fooled by other peoples beliefs, and not evolved my own. Ie I developed critical t
all you people do is sticking your heads in the sand and crying about your irrational fears. and all this talk about our own problems is just laughable. every junkie in the west has is better than people fleeing a fucking war.
Refugees won't take away from your wealth. actually capitalists are, but they are more comfortable when poor westerners blame people who are even poorer. we spend billions bailing out banks, we do nothing at all to get tax money rich people are hiding from the government, but spending comparably little money on this refugee crisis is too much. wtf?
Ugh. So your logic is because the public was shafted by an elite cabal that we should elect to shaft ourselves even further by inviting more people over. I'm not saying there isn't a problem with those issues by the way, there most definitely is.. but resorting to just blaming the whole enterprise because of the actions of a few dickheads is illogical. The UK already gives much in the form of foreign aid every year, funded by the tax payer. Trying to guilt trip the public will not work, and it is getting less potent as a strategy.. people have simply had enough of it. Except the people on the left.. who continue to believe they can spend their way out of problems, at home and abroad.
one thing conservatives seem to overlook is the fact that this is already happening. these people are here. we have to deal with this. and crying about it will help nobody. and no matter how strict you will control borders, it will continue. what is your solution? wait, you have none, nevermind.
Yes, we do. Stop the boats coming first and stop the movement across the EU. If this is not done people will continue to come, and not just from Syria. We can not allow that.
Second, more aid and help going to the surrounding nations of Syria to deal with things there. Get people processed and sent off to multiple nations.. not just the UK, Germany and Sweden.
Third, stop fucking around in Syria and let Assad have his country back. We had no business going in in the first place.
Fourth, hang William Hague. Fucking treasonous little shitbag politician. Knew exactly what he was doing.
