QUOTE (x2lls @ Dec 29 2018, 02:39 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) Refugees?
So why do they end up in small boats trying to sneak in illegally? Is there an internationally accepted mode of transport for refugees? What were the Vietnamese Boat People? More idiotic hate filled nonsense.

QUOTE (SirWilliam @ Dec 29 2018, 04:08 PM) ![*](style_images/NWN/post_snapback.gif) I would prefer you said "ongoing conflict" caused by idealists from all sides than lay the blame squarely on the West. I agree it was folly to go into Iraq and Afghanistan, but if we hadn't they would still be killing each other and blowing up the odd european shopping centre just for the h**l of it. Two thousand years of aggression will not come to an end on the say of some US president nor will the Arab world be united and live in harmony. Most of the migrants are from North Africa where, to the best of my knowledge, we are not engaged in any form, so we either have an open door policy and allow unfettered access or say sorry we are full go elsewhere. That’s full of holes. The source really of the conflict is Israel and US support of Israel. It’s not a 2,000 year old conflict. As for Arabs killing each other. So what? Let them do as they please. In fact arguably they were doing a pretty good job of keeping the lid on things until we invaded. The reports I’ve seen suggest the boat people are Syrian, Afghanis and Iranians. Not North Africans.

Go to the channel ports, look at them, they're not Arabs, not by a long chalk! But, and here's the important bit, let's not let facts faze your limp wristed liberal take on things.

More idiotic hate filled nonsense. As the BBC has reported. They have been secretly filming the people traffickers in action, charging between £3000 and £4000 per person. If you recall, Australia dealt with the influx all those decades ago.

Newres should be combing Dover seeking out wealthy Iranian illegals to house in chez Newres🤣

More right wing hate filled and thick nonsense.

You need to listen to Lucy Moreton son. “We’ve been warning government for weeks this is a problem which is escalating & it’s not going to go away. People smugglers are openly touting in Calais” I say take the traffickers out by any means necessary.

The irony being that those who seek a life in europe do not see a penny of their homeland's natural assets. If it was shared around a little more evenly then this problem would not exist.

If it was shared around a little more evenly then this problem would not exist. Yes, yes it would. because the other governments simply spend all the assets on bigger armies, more guns and gold plated Rolls Royces to run around in. Very little goes to the general population.
