It's not, and shouldn't be about politics/the right/the left.I can agree with that Bliar was as bad if not worse than the Tories, but the return to Labours socialist values isn't going to happen over night and in the meantime the resources at the bottom are getting thinner and thinner. Helping the refugees is a priority and we should and have to do something but not at the expense of the poor and homeless which is what will happen.
Mmm.Wales. Perfect destination for a small minded bigot. The place is full of them.
But be careful when you open your mouth. They don't like foreigners coming into their country.

Do you think there will be no homeless/poor people in our inner city's if we never allowed another refugee into the country?
Do you think there will be a surplus of resources suddenly available to the have nots in our country if we never allowed another refugee in?
A lor more waffle. What's the point?Reading through the thread all you have done is goad the right so don't start telling people it's not about politics. I answered Agueros question he posed me that's why right and left came into it. Stop point scoring and use your brain.
The resources are going to become thinner for the poor "Channelling" them means that less funds hit the floor, until we sort our rich out we are not in a position to even help ourselves.

It might just be me but I don't see any reason why the Syrian refugees can't use the same roads and railways as the rest of us do.How many of those are in an inhabitable state? How many are lying empty because they've been CPO'd to make way for what paltry development is taking place? How many are empty because their owners died and are still going through the probate process, often by relatives who live miles away?
Trying to fill what empty homes are available and suitable is good, up to a point but would only account for a few months' need. We need millions of new houses, not tens of thousands.
What about all the other things people need? You already have to knock down houses every time you build a new road or railway line. Schools? Shops? Places of work?
Green belt legislation has to go. Planning regs need to be changed so people can't object to or delay new buildings and infrastructure. We will just have to get used to that.

I don't think 20,000 extra people spread throughout the UK would lead to us having to rethink our travel system.Roads get full and it causes traffic jams. Trains get full and there are limits to how many trains you can put on the same line.
That's why you build more roads and railway lines.
I don't think 20,000 extra people spread throughout the UK would lead to us having to rethink our travel system.
UK population is forecast to hit 75 million in about 15 to 20 years. Can we support that with current infrastructure?
We won't need to unless you think we won't make any changes to our infrastructure in 20 years.
75% of refugees arriving in Europe are adult males according UNHCR.
Good, they should be fit and able to work and contribute.75% of refugees arriving in Europe are adult males according UNHCR.

the 800,000 that Germay is reported to be taking in i assume they will be given German citizenship and being of German citizenship can travel freely within the European Union and can legally enter the United Kingdom?
More likely to work than say the elderly and children, I may be wrong but I've just bought some logic and applied it here.Because they are adult males they should be fit and able to work? How do you know this? Are you a doctor? Weird statement.
