UK takes in 80'000 few refugees than it's "fair share". Switzerland takes in 16'000 more. I have to say, I've not noticed a massive impact here from the influx. Except you get to meet some interesting people. A Tibetan woman with excellent (self-taught) English. An Iranian pastor who'd had to flee Iran because extremists were after him... and then had to flee Turkey for the same reason.Originally posted by seanraaron View PostPretty much. Honestly the amount of whinging here from people who aren't actually being impacted by the current crisis AT ALL is amazing. Most of the migrants coming in are trying to go to Sweden and Germany and they're coming in via Greece and Italy over the sea. They aren't reaching UK borders in any numbers you could quote that would be significant....
The local university is working out how they can take in educated refugees, and put them through degree programs.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment

No, I just think your a self-righteous wum who should be peddling their tulip on a socialist forum who would lap up your crap.Originally posted by d000hg View PostYou're taking as axiomatic that everyone wants to keep immigrants out in the first place.
Maybe this quaint notion of nationalism should be eroded rather than take the position "we should keep the starving people out because that way I will be able to upgrade to the new iPhone every year".
I'll be getting a Wileyfox next, certainly not an iPhone. HTHBIDIThe greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

The statistics god of forecasting (can't remember his name) gave Trump <20% chance; and this was high due to a lack of data.Originally posted by Unix View PostRemember it's Americans that are voting. They voted for W Bush twice.
There's lots of dirt to dig up on him yet. Trump is toast.Comment

Dunno where your here is but it's pretty massive in the South East. My local town is now 21% foreign born. That does not include ethnic groups or children born to the foreign born of course. Walk round the mall and the sound of foreign languages and accents is almost constant.I've not noticed a massive impact here from the influx
Its over 50% foreign born in some London authorities. That has serious impact on housing, transport, infrastructure, schools and other public services.Last edited by xoggoth; 28 January 2016, 12:41.bloggoth

Think we are falling into two camps here;
1. People who think it's a human condition to help people.
2. People who think it's a human condition to not give a shiit about other people.Comment
