They say beggars can't be choosers!

Kay; I admire your effort. A lone light, in a sea of blackness. I wish you were not so rare.


That's right, I still got game.

This began long before Syria.

Gaddafi's Revenge

Here's the problem Kay, especially in the UK. We are dealing with an influx of migrants from all over of deprived Europe. Put aside the stereotype and go but how it's portrayed in the media. At the end of the day people are tired of putting up people from other countries, call it discrimination but when you see homeless on the streets with no help or single mothers struggling, it's understandable. The British public has become desensitised to migrants it's unreal, we are trying to fix the problems of the world before fixing our own. That's why, especially in the UK, most people I've talked to have said, we had enough. That's being said, I don't care if we take 20k migrants from camps because if I was in their position, id do the exact same thing... But a question, with so many wealthy countries surrounding these countries and are not at war, the question arises, what are they coming to Europe for?

Wanting to help and being forced to help are 2 different animals in the political zoo.

Being forced to help at the expense of our lives and our liberties is an unacceptable price to pay.

Let's get honest - many of the problems in Syria are the result of an incompetent, cowardly and stupid executive branch of the US government.

What does?

Who said she said anything about the whole world?

Basically she said any Syrian that reaches Germany can claim asylum there. Now Germany aren't coping either because they're being overwhelmed with the numbers arriving because of her stupid words.

And as has been reported, what's to stop others from elsewhere claiming to be from Syria, whether they are or not? Just because Germany say they can claim asylum in Germany doesn't mean all of them will end up staying in Germany. Germany will do what they always do, look after their own interests by filtering out those who they want to stay and dispersing the rest across Europe.

Thanks for letting us determine who is exhibiting the good side and who is showing the bad side, much appreciated. So the good side I guess is those who would just let them all in. And the bad side would be those that would say sorry but you're not welcome? Would this be your view?

Anyway, I'm not against giving asylum to genuine people but most of these people aren't fleeing persecution, and asylum seekers are entering this country every day as it is, one way or another.

Thanks to the EU anybody in it can come and live here whether they have a job or not, and they do. I live in the south east of England, in Kent and if I walk down our high street I hear plenty of foreign voices any day of the week, mainly eastern European. I've nothing against them, most of them are here to work and earn some decent money but there's already problems with housing and hospitals and so on and at some point you have to be realistic and put a limit on numbers and as we can't limit those legally coming here then unfortunately the people that need real help are the ones to suffer. That's how it is.

Even further from the mark that alistair. It's actually a variation on an ages old gag where Mr Richguy = Mr 1%, Mr Middlclassguy = Mr 99% and Mr Poorguy = Mr Immigrant.

Another variation on it is:

There's a special report (on CNN, I think) that has been airing. A journalist was traveling with some the refugees and getting the stories. It's only 30-45 minutes long but it is compelling and I'd suggest watching it if you can.

Most heartening to me was it showed CITIZENS of countries passing out food and water even as their govts lobbed tear gas at groups with children present.


It's a global crisis and the solution should be a gathering of all nations - not only the EU other stable nations in the world capable of helping - including other muslim countries.

The destabilization of Syria didn't happen in a vacuum. When you take out dictators and don't replace them with a stable government acceptable to the people....pillars start to fall. The people of Syria begged for help to fight Assad - and we (the world) ignored them. They had no chance of winning without help. Now they flee for their lives. EU and other countries would be foolish to turn these refugees into "enemies" but I think there's a risk of doing just that.

Those children will grow up - and remember how they were treated - and then what happens in the next generation?
