Poor migrants from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan

[MintPlumbing 10]

What would you do in their position?

 

I would do as my ancestors did, stay and fight to make my country a better place for future generations.

Very admirable, but in reality, what would you do?

In the [distant] past people used up the resources in one place then moved on. Later and perhaps in the last couple of hundred, people have moved to where the work is.

 

In the most, people here have stopped moving to where the work is, because you can still just survive on benefits wherever you are.

 

It's taken 50 years or so to get to the point where we are now balance wise - allowing hundreds of thousands of people in like TJC wants will undoubtedly alter the balance. Most likely, and like most places in the world, it will just dilute the wealth, until we're all poor. Socialism at it's best.

So if you were in Syria and were being bombed by your own Government and threatened by ISIS you'd arm yourself and shoot back at Government planes whilst simultaneously fighting ISIS.

 

I'd really love to see that, but suspect the reality would be very different.

There already in Europe, it's not a case of wanting anything.

[The Joker 10]

So how much money are we all willing to give to help these people? Let's agree a figure!

 

How much have the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost us?

[Vague_Boy 10]

Then go back when its not a war zone.

 

Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. What connects the current conflicts in those three countries.

 

Oh right, we started them all.

[Timeh 10]

Over 100k in greek islands and italy.

We must do more to help greece cope with these people fleeing war torn countries

And stop the trafficking!

Distribute out amongst eu or send aid at least. Camps are full.

Thousands more dying at sea.

Around 124,000 migrants - most fleeing war in Syria and Afghanistan - have arrived on Greece's coastline since the beginning of the year, a 750% increase compared to the same period last year.

Its sick. We need to help these people. We are a rich country and have NO excuse for letting these people die in the sea or come to a country and have nothing not even a roof over their heads.

Its shameful.

Yet we are willing to spend billions on bombs bullets and guns.

Great

Careful, youre in danger of speaking good sense and the truth.

We certainly have a level of culpability.

How did we start the civil war in Syria?

[drummonds 10]

hopefully whilst cameron is prime minister we will be protected from the lunatic fringe with it's open door policy. still come the referendum i'll be taking no chances and voting to leave the eu so that we can control our borders.

We sell guns to them.
