The post you are reporting:
There are areas that I can agree with BarryW and Peter. There are immigrants that should not have been allowed in and there are some, especially in our prisons that should be deported but the numbers are few and should not stir up all this unrest by challenging the majority, that genuinely need our help.
The press are blowing the figures up just to cause a stir.
I worked with immigration for a while and it really opens your eyes.
Bern is right, it is really simple, when you see the genuine refugees coming into this country, I challenge anyone not to feel compassion and the natural want to help them and help them we should, even if it is millions. You cannot fake what is clearly in their eyes and their expressions.
This is not a lefty thing it is a moral issue.
Alex.
I agree that famine and such like is the responsibility of the authorities and the people from those countries.
But £millions have been streaming into Africa for the last thirty years, suposedly, for wells, pumps, irrigation and such like. Yet we are still seeing adverts of little children dying of thirst. Why is that?
So on one hand I certainly agree that something has to be done by those in these countries or we as a country, should force them to do the right thing but you cannot abandon those that are fleeing for their lives and need our help.
It is also just as easy to see the chancers and the other potential nasty immigrants that should be put straight back on the boat.
Yes, that should have been resolved by the last Labour Gov but they are not in power now and after all the promises, still nothing is being done, so instead of keep harping on about who started it like demented school kids, lets get the Gov that is in power, to sort it out.
