[Gelsons Dad]

lets see how that works out shall we?

120,000? WTF are we going to do with the other 9 to 11 million who could be heading this way, and that's just the displaced Syrians. They reckon there's 4,000 a day just landing on Lesbos.

So Merkels strategy of closing the borders to Germany has worked as planned and the EU have today agreed to national quotas for 120,000 refugees currently stuck in Hungary, Greece and Italy:

Germany 31,443, France 24,031, Spain 14,931

Poland 9287, Holland 7214, Rumania 6464, Belgium 4564, Sweden 4469, Austria 3640,
Portugal 3074, Czech Rep 2978, Finland 2398, Bulgaria 1600, Slovakia 1502, Croatia 1064

Lithuania 780, Slovenia 631, Latvia 526, Luxembourg 440, Estonia 373, Cyprus 274, Malta 133

I thought Merkel said there was no limit to the amount that Germany would accept? That stance seems to have gone out the window pretty rapid!

Watch all the ones not allocated Germany or Sweden go there anyway. What's stopping them? As we already know they show no regards to borders or the people protecting them.

Way more than 120k are going to arrive, what happens then?

She then realised that they are not all Syrians, quite a few are economic migrants and opposition in Germany is mounting as well, she mishandled this one, what did she expect when she declared open house

What she expected was everyone patting her on the back telling her how marvellously caring and compassionate she was. What she, and
numerous others have been saying from the start of this crisis, is that it is ridiculous to assume that these multitudes are are all in immediate danger of their lives,
and must get get to only the richest and most tolerant nations in Europe. When the absolutely obvious and inevitable surge happened, she's now screaming that everyone else should pay the price for this grandstanding stupidity; well dear, I'm afraid you've urinated on your fritten, and the problems are now becoming acute.

Great video

Yes it was. Some great sentences in there.. ''How do we want to remembered? as xenophobic, rich cowards behind fences?'' I expect more from this utterly fantastic country I was born in.[/QUOTE]

All these people debating about if and how many asylum seekers we let in, and I'm one of those who would like us to help but how many of them will share the burden?

Where do most of them end up? In social housing. In areas which are poorer than most other parts of the country.

So shouldn't the people in these communities be given the opportunity to say how they feel about sharing space, housing, community and culture with them?

Because what happens when they aren't given a voice? They look elsewhere for one and end up part of a facists, racist right wing party as these seem the only people able to give them a voice on this issue. Which is a massive shame.

So having invited them all in the EU has now not only limited the numbers and ordered it's members to takes quotas but now has decided it's better to keep them out and ordered it's members to send money to the surrounding countries.

And some wonder why people want out of the EU!
