Good people make good humanitarian decisions

 

[kaz7]

Absolutely ridiculous isn't it.
Thousands are waiting for homes yet we can just let people in whilst gifting them freebies.
As usual this government treats tax payers with contempt whilst letting everyone in from overseas.
The UK is finished.

Fucking hell, 0/10 you are losing your touch

If you don't like it you are welcome to leave

It’s been four months or more and the poster in question is still deciding on his trip to the Canary Islands so it would be a lengthy process should he leave for good.

Think we accommodated around 25k in the seventies from Uganda over a few weeks. Also think it is more important to give people safe passage than worry about the fucking system.

so how many would you accommodate

25,000 ? 50,000? Why not 500,000 ?

i absolutely agree we should be doing our part in helping refugees- but our country in some parts, is being overwhelmed- down here in the South East they are non stop building, tearing down woodlands, roads are gridlocked, no point even trying to get doctors appointment - surely there has to be some ease of pressure on our population

back in the 70’s when we accommodated 25k Ugandans our population was 55 million - it is now 68 million.

do you think this is sustainable ?

always does.

I'm entitled to my opinion and think you'll find it's a common frustration about the UK.
I have family and friends who can't get houses and I know people who are close to being on the streets, being told there is nothing available.

I've no issue in helping out people from overseas, none at all but this government has enough issues here and care less about its own people.

Personally I'd fill the country with immigrants as they can be given jobs travelling trucks delivering shit - stocking shelves - harvesting foodstuffs - working in car homes - there is loads of space here its just the govt is centred on the South East - I'd make space by deporting people who lack any common decency and humanity - including the current cabinet and Farage

I totally agree with you BH.

maybe you are in the wrong area? wrong country even - there are plenty of houses if you come away from the main conurbations.

Let them move in with you

 

[hilts]

I'm not a fan of increasing our population but at the end of the day we owe these people. As long as we can safely do this in terms of knowing who they are we need to get it done. It can be offset by restricting immigration from elsewhere.

 

[hilts]

As you're in favour and he isn't surely they should move in with you?

Although that's seems cruel.


On them.

 

[BLUEMATT23]

I don’t think we’ll ever be finished as a country and if we don’t try to help people fleeing persecution then who will help them.

Thousands in this country are very poor and have no where to live but it is up to all of us to help however small even if we only badger our MPs, we don’t live in fear of our lives like millions across the world do.

I get that but have you seen the issues our country already has? We're a fucking joke, you can't get a drs appt, dentist appt etc.
The roads are awful and there are no houses.
We were told immigration would be controlled, it isn't.
Thank god my dear gran is no longer alive, she told me 15 years ago that we were finished, God bless her soul she was 100% right.
Will the last person out please switch off the lights.

back in the 70’s when we accommodated 25k Ugandans our population was 55 million - it is now 68 million.

Obviously you're not stupid enough to think 25,000 Ugandans have increased the population by 13 million, so presumably you're going to campaign for some sort of 1 child policy to stop this uncontrollable population growth?

20,000 people extra is not much more than the difference between a normal year and a leap year.

I am 100% anti Farage and his racist followers who are anti immigration at all costs

Our country is built on immigration and it’s something we should be very proud of.

but! And there is a but - we can’t forever be saying ‘there’s plenty of room’ ‘maybe deport those who don’t like it’ ‘we can build more roads, houses ‘ etc etc.

It isn’t credible when so many millions can not get on the housing ladder, despite so many new estates being built at a rapid pace.
So many woodland areas and open spaces are being built upon.
Roads and traffic gridlocked everywhere.
I’ve just been on train back from London (where hardly anyone back to the office) and even that was packed.
Doctors appointment impossible.
A+E 4/5 hours wait at best.

I think for many , they see this as unsustainable- and it’s a worthy debate rather than being accused as ‘Farage lover’ or ‘racist’

for many people, it’s a genuine concern and their voices should be heard.

Lets bring over some Afghani doctors, nurses, road workers and builders then.

Population growth without immigration is already a problem.
Immigration on top makes it more of a problem.

There’s no easy solution - but it’s something that should be discussed sensibly rather than people that have genuine concerns get labelled as some sort of Farage lover etc.

Good luck with that

When you blame 50 years of population growth on 25,000 Ugandan refugees you don't make it difficult to draw comparisons.

Starmer is taking Bodger Johnson to the cleaners in the HoC at the moment.

Pity he wasn’t about when Blair took us into Iraq to stop them using their weapons of mass destruction. You are obviously a Labour supporter so you must admit that party is as bad if not worse than the Conservatives?
