Mark,

 

If your immediate family member fell overboard and there was also a ‘refugee’ in the freezing water who was a stranger to you and you could only rescue one of them who would you rescue?

Tim, if anyone fell overboard would you try to rescue them?

The fact you gave that facile response let’s me know you would of course save your family member without even thinking about it.

I'd like to think I'd try to save them both.

That’s not the reality of the situation. 
 

My point was that all people bar sociopaths would choose their own kin over a stranger. Extrapolate that outwards from a family member, extended family member, close friends, neighbours, community, geographic region, nation and you begin to understand why British people would be more comfortable with taking in Europeans rather than Africans or Middle Easterners. 
 

The same would apply to Nigerians preferring to take in Kenyan refugees rather than Chinese. 
 

It’s ok.

I get your extrapolation. 

It must be pretty shit to be drowning and seeing people do nothing.

There are bad bastards of every creed and colour, but there are good ones too. 

Gan canny Tim, have a good week.

What have you done to help the poor, homeless and destitute in Newcastle or Sunderland? How much of your time have you given up to spend helping the homeless or addicts in your own town? Amongst your own people? 

 

Your concern about migrants and refugees rings hollow. 

 

You posts here are nothing but empty moral signalling. 
 

‘I’m a good guy, I think about the welfare of refugees’ 

 

Well done. 
 

Have a good week.

Does that PM include how to dodge the tax that would help pay for the virtue signalling you constantly and hypocritically expect others to fund?
