That's all very well and good, but the majority of these immigrants can only speak Arabic - how many jobs are they going to apply for? They will need to learn English, German or the language of whatever country they end up in. They have no money - who is going to pay for this education?
Um we are.......again and we'll still take thousands of them. WHY FFS ??!!!!!!!!!!!! Send them anywhere but here. The poison lurking in the Middle East (and everywhere else within every country on the planet) is the biggest threat we have to every one of us via direct or indirect methods. I'm sure these people only want peace and quiet so send them to the wide empty spaces of South America. We can help pay for housing to be built there. Every NATO member country should carry out airstikes 24x7 for as long as it takes, and blow the **** out of Syria, Libya, Algeria and every other fly blown **** hole until nothing remains. IS seem to have already started the work by blowing up irreplaceable ancient sites and treasures so let's finish the job. Then we can start on Somalia and root out Boko Haram from West Africa if necessary. Do we want to try and be safe in the world for our children and countless generations to come or not ? I fear it's already too late though. IS sympathisers are world wide, so we'll sit back wait for the next atrocity on OUR shores and say how terrible it is. Remember Lee Rigby The tube bombing The London bus bombing Paris recently Lockerbie 9/11 And many more Why did Turkey detain that woman and her 4 kids en route to Syria last week at our insistence ? Let them go to Syria and good riddance to them, and to anyone else with a sick enough mind to believe they are doing it for martyrdom or whatever warped reasoning has been ground into their tiny minds. In the meantime we should be reclaiming the house she occupied whether it's state or privately owned, seizing and selling any assets, and rounding up and deporting all of her relatives as well. Now she's going to come home and we'll spend millions of pounds monitoring her and her brood for the next 50 years. Another avoidable expense that we will pay for. That's you and I, via taxes. We do ourselves no favours making them stay here against their will. Why do we as a nation not do the right thing time after time ? It's straightforward, but our moral obligations are allowed get in the way of common sense again, and they seem to outweigh what the majority of the nation are thinking, even if they are too cowardly to say it out loud. Liberalism and the 'no blame' society that's overtaken our ability to see the wood for the trees is to blame. Stand up and be counted. This is a cancer waiting to devour us all and we let pity get in the way. As for the Jihadist from Cardiff who was reportedly killed last week. GOOD. THAT'S ONE LESS FOR US TO SUPPORT. I HOPE THERE'S MANY MORE WHO DO MAKE IT TO SYRIA AND GET KILLED/GANG RAPED/TORTURED ETC. Maybe their dying thought will be that the UK and the quiet and largely peaceable western way of life wasn't so bad after all.
You've contradicted yourself a bit here, you want a well paid job but you've slated a man who's got one. What the **** any of this has this got to do with Rupert Murdoch I don't know, but you don't like him as you're constantly bleating on about him and sky etc.He offers a service which is the publics choice whether they choose to pay for it, no ones holding a gun to your head. Back to the real issue Schooling, extra infrastructure who is paying for it? You're not old enough yet to pay taxes but when you are, you might see the world through real eyes. Schools are over crowded at the moment, so there is a real need already to build more. And this is before we take more people into the country. Housing we've already got a huge waiting list for homeless people, some ex military who defended this country are being turned away. Put more strain on this list will cause havoc, as people will turn to crime to pay for their way. Which in turns fills the police time, the prisons get over loaded so this also needs paying as well. So now we've added up a little what it would take, would you be willing to double your taxes to help pay for this? And trust me for every £ I earn I probably lucky after taxes council taxes etc to see 0.40p
Seems to me the people who are always bleating about spending taxes are the ones who hardly pay any! This country is creating its own future crisis and the posters on here who have kids and grandkids know that it is all being stored up for them! there is a cultural war coming from fundamentalists who are abusing the 'left thinking moralists' and they have openly told you they will do so! You are blind to it because you think it makes you morally superior. There is a post above here using 'Nazi' anti propaganda as a stick to beat people who have just simply had enough of an open door immigration policy and the social upheaval and unrest it is causing. we keep being told on a daily basis the NHS is falling apart from the demand and young kids like Oskar Pyecroft are unable to have relatively cheap operations in order to walk! (but they can afford PS4's and Zumba for the staff who are constantly off sick!) With regards the Nazi comparison, if you knew your history you would understand how they were able to come to power and so nearly form an empire over much of the world.. There is a difference between compassion and being mugged off.!!
With reference to the NHS, the reason it is falling apart is because funds are not being made available, and the NHS management is quite appalling. If middle England and those fortunate enough to be in the upper wage bracket were made to pay the morally correct amount in perspective with what they earn, there would be no NHS problem, or problem with benefits for those unfortunate enough to be unemployed or indisposed. But then that is the way under Tory rule, while politicians and bankers treat themselves to another pay rise. Self servicing bas___ds ! As to my grasp of history, I think you will find its pretty good. But if you had actually read the piece you would see that it wasn't a reference to the rights and wrongs of fascism, but to the blind opinions of the British public to the suffering that happens on other shores. In that respect we are very much like the Americans. Anyway, as this is a football forum, and we are now embroiled in a pointless argument about something we are obviously poles apart on, I am going to bid you adieu.
I don't like, Murdoch because he uses his media empire to push propaganda onto everyone's door steps. He supports parties who will let him and fellow millionaires exploit the poor. Fox News, the sun and the daily mail to name but a few. The articles are so bad and out of touch that they are almost satire. And also they are hipocrates
How do you think the NHS will cope once the Africans camped at Calais get through - lots of them are from Nigeria and Somalia which is rife with Ebola. To screen each and every one of them, you need a doctor and a nurse in an isolated ward - one at a time. Baring in mind there could be as many as 100,000 waiting in Calais alone this would cost an absolute fortune. Then there are the infected one's who manage to get in illegally - a very worrying thought eh?
But Murdoch does not own the daily mail. They are owned by someone else that owns metro etc s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daily_Mail_and_General_Trust But either way it's your choice to read it. Also in amongst this load of asylum seekers are Isis members that want nothing more than to create terror. But putting up clips of a paper that is not owned by the person you say you hate is pointless.
Imagine, if you will, all the refugees who will soon get EU passports from some caring country or another that will flood your shores. Along with that they will also get free travel throughout Europe and with the track record of Border Services so far I start to worry about the nightmares this tragic situation will create. Don't mention the war!
There is absolutely no question of fast track German citizenship here. Becoming German has always been relatively difficult compared to other European nations and will certainly remain that way. Also, benefits in Germany are payable to EU citizens from the day of arrival there - and to others as soon as they have payed into the system. The problem which Germany faces is that up to now only 25% of applications for refugee status have been actually successfull here - amongst those who are arriving in Germany now there are sizeable numbers from Serbia, Kosovo and Albania putting in claims - which will all take up to 2 months to process (and possibly an extra 2 months if an appeal is made against the decision). All of those from Balkan countries will be sent back eventually, but it will take time.
You know what angelic? I have gone back over your comments on this thread and I tend to agree with all your points and ask some of the same questions. Having spent the last 8 winters escaping the Canadian winter in the Canary Islands I heard rant after rant from our English friends on the island, and never stopped hearing their complaints about how England lets everyone else, but it's citizens, run the country. The old saying that it's just not cricket doesn't cut it anymore and until the people unite and say we are not going to be the whipping boys of Europe, or anyone else for that matter, and we will certainly not accept the dregs that our continental cousins want to ship here to sink the island through overcrowding and dissent. In a perfect world (yeah right) the refugees who are lining up at Europe's doorway would start the process of rehabilitating their birth country by building on the faith put in them by the countries who accept them and telling the rest of the troubled nations that their way is best for all mankind - but don't hold your collective breaths.
Might be rather sobering for you to reflect that there are more British people living in the EU. than there are the other way around.
'Might be rather sobering for you to reflect' The FT reported in February 2014 that there were over 500,000 more EU people living in the UK than Brits in the EU. Obviously not sure how that's changed since Romanians and Bulgarians have joined the EU. 'putting up clips of a paper that is not owned by the person you say you hate is pointless' RODney Until MTG leaves education and gets a job in the private sector he will remain as Rickster and all Lefties - in permanent adolescence.
Having read some of the rhetoric on these pages for the past 2 days, I will remain happily adolescent and proud of it.
Let us not forget that Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Emirates and Bahrain - all fabulously rich countries with predominantly Muslim populations have not taken in one refugee fleeing Syria.
You seem to have a blasé attitude to spending other peoples money, just continuing to throw money at the NHS won't take it out of crisis, you state the management structure is appalling, I quite agree, a structure largely left wing based who's answer to everything is more money !.. (theres a common theme developing?) the morally correct amount? Is 50% of your income the morally correct amount?? Its ok though believe it or not the likes of Me, Rod, Redprintt and Angelic would have all grown up with this left wing bias too, its easy to be morally superior when its not coming out of your bank account, you tend to grow out of it though as you get older and have a guts-full of shirkers just taking the piss and giving nothing back in return. When I was a lad I was assured that a vote for Labour was a vote for the workers.. now its a vote for the shirkers! Oh, by the way, I would happily pay every penny I do for the 'unfortunate unemployed' or 'indisposed' there is practically no good reason to be unemployed in this country.. join the NHS they just hand it out!
My biggest concern is what we are leaving our kids to deal with. I pay 40% tax,but do i want it to go to people that are freeloaders,people that are here for the easy ride like hell i do. I have always voted tory but DC has a lot to answer regards his pathetic responce to this issue. Can you imagine Churchill,or Thatcher allowing this to happen of course not. Can someone answer the question why have they not gone to friendly muslim countrys on there borders. The sooner we can have this vote to get out of the EU the better.
