I read that the average value of a semi detached in Corbyn's constituency is £1.8m..... I honestly struggle to believe that many traditional voters will identify with him...
-
Corbyn is going to a refugee rally at Trafalgar Square this afternoon. He was never going to get my vote but this just confirms I will never vote Labour....
-
I can't help thinking he will be a disaster for the Labour Party 😄 He just seems a left wing nut. Hopefully it will be another twenty years until Labour win an election 😄

I can accept that when you're a teen you can be a bit of a rascal and do stupid stuff. But if you're commiting crime after a certain age I think you should be jailed for life. If I was the Prime Minister I would bring in life prison sentences for anyone over thirty that steals.

I used to work in the Middle East and people were unbelievable honest. You would see people park their brand new Range Rovers outside the supermarket with the engine running (to keep the air con on). I assume the threat of getting your hands cut off prevents crime?

The thing is places like Africa and the Middle East have a different culture to Europe, their attitude towards women/ minorities/ other religions just doesn't fit in with Europe. Just because they arrive in Europe and get a European passport doesn't mean they suddenly believe that woman are equal and that religion has no role in the state. How many terrorist attacks is Europe prepared to withstand because of the migrants we are taking in? We all know that there are terrorists amongst the migrants, we all know that in thirty years time when the migrants have children that the children will resent Europe and commit terrorist attacks. What is it now, 700 Brits have went to fight for ISIS?

It annoys me that David Cameron changed his mind about Syrian immigration to reflect "public opinion". I certainly don't get the impression that the British public has a huge appetite for allowing another ethnic group into the country that won't really integrate. I had to laugh when I was watching the BBC news, they were talking about the huge public demands to help refugees, they then showed footage of some woman loading the boot of her Peugeot 108 with supplies for the migrants at Calais... It never convinced me that the British public are enthusiastic about helping migrants...

Amen to that!

The thing is when you look at how refugees/migrants contribute to European society it's not very encouraging..... The data below says that refugees have a crime rate 73% higher than native Dutch... "According to the figures from Danmarks Statistik, crime rate among refugees and their descendants is 73% higher than for the male population average, even when taking into account their socioeconomic background. A report from Teori- og Metodecentret from 2006 found that seven out of ten young people placed on the secured youth institutions in Denmark are immigrants (with 40 percent of them being refugees).[3]"

I don't think anyone is claiming that all immigrants are scroungers, but equally we can all see that immigration is not as beneficial as we have been told over the last decades.... I really don't know how much more "cultural enrichment" we can take... Do you have any proof that 60% of doctors are immigrants? Do you think it morally acceptable that we take doctors from the developing world?

"Russian troops 'fighting alongside Assad's army against Syrian rebels' Syrian state TV reportedly broadcasts footage of Russian soldiers and armoured vehicle fighting alongside pro-Assad troops " Russian troops 'fighting alongside Assad's army against Syrian rebels' - Telegraph

Do you really think there aren't millions of AK47s in that part of the world? What do you think happened to them after the Iraq/ Iran war, Gulf War 1 and 2? "Kow Tow or Run" Yeah, obviously they couldn't form a resistance movement or anything. It's a bit depressing that if fanatics invade your country you've either got to join them in burning people alive or run away.

And the "regular" Sunni don't fight back against ISIS because? As soon as we get over the idea that ISIS doesn't represent a lot of Sunni Muslims the better.
-
This migration crisis seems to be a self inflicted problem though. For every migrant we let in another two will turn up on a European beach. Places like Austarlia were getting lots of boat migrants (that came from the other side of the world) until they stopped letting them into Australia. There will be ISIS supporters in the migrants that we are letting in. Sunni and Shia Muslims have been fighting for a thousand years. ISIS is not a new problem.... It's a thousand year old problem with a new name. Over the last ten years how many terrorist attacks have occurred in Europe from people whose background is from outside Europe? Letting them in is not the answer to stopping terrorism.

"There's only one way to solve any of this & we need the whole of Europe involved:" Why does it have to be Europe that has to solve the problem? Is it not time that the Middle East started to solve their own problems? Saudi/ Kuwait/ UAE have stupid amounts of money and land....

The thing is that my grandfather never shot fascists so that people that hate secular democracy can claim asylum in the UK.
-
It is a very moving photograph. But does it mean we all get weepy and send P&O ferries to pick up Syrians from Turkey?
-
It does, it makes me think that we should return all the migrants leaving turkey so that no other families risk their life to get to Europe.

"According to official statistics, 21.0% of rapes have been committed by foreigners in Finland.[13] Foreigners comprise 2.2% of the population.[13]" makes you think....
-
that's the thing, you feel sorry for all those people that are dying in war zones etc. but they come from a culture that encourages conflict... will they change when they get a European passport...
-
if you have a spare two minutes watch this video. It shows migrants refusing aid because it has the "red cross" on the boxes..... [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2KhIZ8y0Mg[/ame]

we need a like button on this site.

The thing is that some previous immigrants into Europe haven't really integrated into European society... I'm all for giving countries like Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan etc money to look after the Syrians, but I would be against mass Syrian migration into Europe.

respect!
