Abernethy Saint Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 History stuff aside ( although it is stunning that way) it's a shit place for a holiday. Overcrowded, polluted, scruffy. Toryboy can confirm, but I think most Athenians who can afford it get the hell out whenever they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrane Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 See what bother me is the part of our nature as humans to take things for granted. Putting the current laws and society to one side, what actual right have we personally got to the comfortable life we have in the UK? In the worldwide, thousands of years history of human kind sense, what have we done as individuals that a syrian refugee on an inflatable dingy not done to deserve better than them. The hard work and skills of our parents and our forefathers and the desire to provide for their children have played a part in the comfortable life that many of us live today. Also Scottish personality traits such as innovation, education, frugality, and a warrior instinct to protect what is ours etc., have played a part in making us who we are.

TedSimon Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 The poor wee boy washed up is hellish. But the trash that put it on the press are evil. Its all to gain sympathy from everyone. I hate the torys but cameron has got it right. Opening up to more immigrants is not the answer. 10 s of millions of people are waiting to make a move and they will come. The war in iraq has little to do with this. Its been going on in the middle east for thousands of years with the muslims fighting each other and the jews. This is just another saga in the mess of that region and we have imported all our problems. Importing more is not going to fix it.See the SNP, they want immigrants because they need around 4 million fo fuel post independence. We have no economy enoufh to support our iterstructure without migrants. Watch the pakistani msp houmsa yousaf appear soon on the telly now that politicians are afraid of missing the vote. Its a disgrace. The parents that put their weans through that hell to get a better life deserve jail. Not the real asylum seekers mind. Cameron is right about that money he sends to the camps over the siria border for the real asylum seekers.See me, our house would take migrants for a year or so. I'm not joking here but we cant afford it. we would only take real asylum seekers from the war and not the peple who travel throufgh countries to get a better life.

blueheaven Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I imagine pretty much all of us on this forum are lucky enough to have been born into a situation where war, famine or extreme poverty just haven't been a part of our lives. And that's all it is: the luck of where we happen to have been born. I can't even begin to comprehend a life that involves having to risk your life fleeing your home, with no possessions other than the clothes you wear, and no guarantee of a safe or welcoming home at the end of it. These sorts of decisions just aren't a part of our lives. These people need help, and countries like the UK are in a position to help them. To not help them seems obscene, especially when you consider the ugly levels of wealth that exist among certain sections of our society.As far as I'm concerned, migrants welcome.

ex-montrosesaintee Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Migrants or refugees? Possibly confused terminology therehmm, I get the point, but migrants often come from pretty awful places too. Many want a better life for their families. Most are prepared to work hard for it too. The media like to sift out the scrounges and sensationalise them as the norm.Perhaps we should look at the media's migrant and refugee as opposite ends of a spectrum here.

andy rhodes fancy watch Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 No issues with genuine refugees seeking refuge. It's the migrants that are here already(European ones) claiming to be skilled when in the real world cannot do their job. i have so much experience of these cunts winging it. They boil my piss !
