Migration crisis is putting the UK at grave risk.

Try living in a country that is actually struggling with a massive influx of asylum seekers and migrant workers and I'll listen to your inane ravings. The overwhelming majority of migrants to the UK are EU citizens. You want to sort that, quit the EU. I think there's a vote coming up you can participate in.

Scotland has been in the border of negative population growth for over a decade, we can certainly afford to take more in, but we're bound by people at Westminster who seem to have a vested interest in playing games with people's fears about migrants of all stripes. Do go on playing the puppet if it makes you happy.

Not forgetting the Capitalists need an endless supply of cheap exploitable labour, legal or not.......

London has never been " white" in that way. It's been the first point of entry for immigrants from around the world for millennia.

FTFY

When is Refugee not a Refugee? How far does one have to travel to be deemed not a Refugee? How many borders do you have to cross to 'escape'?

I got my ear torn off by the missus last night during the 10 o'clock news for not having any 'empathy' for those 'displaced'. I had the temerity to point out that real Refugees are easy to spot as they travel the shortest distance to Safety.

None of the above questions answered by UNHCR

Wow, you really did put her in her place. You have so much empathy, you know exactly how a real Refugee will Behave.

As they refuse to take refuge in the nearest safe country, perhaps they should be called refusefuges to be more accurate

I think there is a fundamental flaw with the Dublin Agreement, it's kinda unfair on the safest country nearest the current land of bother. Plus the average refugee-on-the-street probably doesn't have a copy of agreement with him......

Or 'Fugees'. Like in 'The Children of Men'!

Well there's logic for you. If you must pontificate on matters that have nothing to do with you, at least get the context correct. She was trying to put me in my place (unsuccessfully, unless you have proof that travelling thousands of miles across sea and land instead of crossing one border is 'behaviour' worth empathy?). But then again what would you know about any of it either?

Michael Caine wasn't in the book!

Your original post was not exactly hard to read. You claimed as a fact something that you just made up on the spot, and claim some sort of moral high ground over your wife. If you don't care about other people, just admit it, don't try to defend it.
