jacknife 2,005 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I'm a little saddened by reading this thread as I'm in the middle of watching the 6pm news. Very distressing scenes in Hungary and two toddlers washed up drowned on a beach in Turkey. Unfortunately life is cruel How many British kids were sentenced to death this year because the NHS wouldn't pay for medication 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustelid 143 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 There's no fear from me... It's very easy to tar all asylum seekers and migrants with the same negative brush, but in my view the reality is by different. These people are human beings after all, do they not deserve some level of humanity shown towards them? It's very interesting to see the approach of other nations, the Germans in particular. Who would have expected the Germans to show such compassion given what has gone on in the past century. Older generations of Brits would not have believed it. Perhaps it's also worth making a point that Germany has the most successful economy in Europe and has welcomed inward migration for a long time. A connection between the two Perhaps? Many of the people stuck at the train station in Hungary are professional, educated families fleeing both a civil war and Isis. I can't help but think that they would add more than they would take to wherever they settle. Ultimately, I think all nations have a moral responsibility to help people in need and to help resolve the conflict that's causing the problem in the first instance. I appreciate that not many on here will agree with me, but hey ho, we are all entitled to a view... a luxury not currently afforded to those living in Syria. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lenmcharristar 9,802 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 they've started an uncontrollable movement of peoples from the middle east towards us in western Europe, how can peoples who come from shitholes where there is no real law except a book by a pedo behave themselves when they get here??? ans. they don't, look at Norway its the rape capital of Europe, not by Norwegians but by muslim asylum seekers, look at Britain and the pedo grooming gangs, the execution of native british on our own shores, no go areas because of muslims in Britain, defacing war memorials etc etc, france theyre wreaking havoc too, so tell me how do you think millions more will be any different????? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustelid 143 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Max, you and I have very different views on asylum, but please accept my condolences for your uncle. I have also seen poor NHS treatment of family members at first hand due to the NHS being overstretched. I don't however feel that more or less asylum seekers would have an impact. The NHS being underfunded is a Government problem on a much larger scale. Also, without migrant doctors and nurses, most NHS authorities could not run. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mustelid 143 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 'Instill some morality into them'.... You're kidding right? Are you suggesting that all asylum seekers and migrants are immoral? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shepp 2,285 Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 (edited) Max, you and I have very different views on asylum, but please accept my condolences for your uncle. I have also seen poor NHS treatment of family members at first hand due to the NHS being overstretched. I don't however feel that more or less asylum seekers would have an impact. The NHS being underfunded is a Government problem on a much larger scale. Also, without migrant doctors and nurses, most NHS authorities could not run. Immigration from outside the EU has cost our country £120 billion over a 17 year period. Can you seriously tell me that some taxi driving paki in Rotherham, pretending to earn less than £10k so as not to pay tax. While having his breeding machine pumps out half a dozen kids can ever be cost beneficial to our country. Not only have a good percentage of the millions of people, who share very little with our culture cost us money, they have also made housing more scarce, thus pushing up prices to unafordable levels. They are more criminaly active, thus costing us money and lowering our quality of life. They have brought with them large scale benefit fraud, slavery, FGM, sham marriages, grooming gangs, terrorism and counless other negative attributes. If we didn't have a net immigration rising by 300,000 year after year, then we wouldn't need foreign health workers. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/immigration/11209234/Immigration-from-outside-Europe-cost-120-billion.html Edited September 3, 2015 by shepp 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustelid 143 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 In reply to Shepp. I disagree! The you're picking the worst examples you can, I simply don't believe all are like that. In fact, I know they're not. You mention tax... The NHS doctors earning upwards of 100k will be contributing a huge amount of tax. I must mention another example... One of my best friends is an English guy of Indian descent, his parents came to the UK in the seventies with nothing... His father worked in a factory and in a twenty four hour corner shop, often working eighteen hour days. His mother also worked in the shop. Eventually they saved enough to buy the shop, then the flat above it. They had three children, the eldest is a solicitor, my friend is a neurosurgeon and his younger brother is a mechanic. Their contribution to society has been huge in all senses. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mustelid 143 Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Your picking out a Handfull amongst thousands Do you think Abdul who came in on the back of a lorry into Manchester but is now living in hartlepool working at a hand car wash is paying taxes is he fook he was blasé enough to tell me how he got here and that he's working cash in hand whilst like the good Muslim he is enjoys Whisky women and sometimes violence within his community at weekends. The blind leading the blind You're doing the same as me but from the opposite viewpoint. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most immigrants working in the NHS will have come here through a controlled immigration system they didnt sneak in illegally Just because there is foreign workers in the NHS doesnt mean we have to open our country up to all comers in the hope a few may become doctors where would it all end letting anyone in 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
