It's a disgrace that Britain is not welcoming the Calais refugees

lol it's like you're accusing me of being consistent
it's like you're telling the law of gravity "oh so a rock will fall off a cliff? OH SO I GUESS THAT MEANS THAT THE MOON WILL REVOLVE AROUND THE EARTH? LMAO" err yes actually, that's gravity being "consistent" with its logic. gravity applies itself logically and hence gravity affects all matter, not just rocks...:/ hence, I'm talking about all immigrants, and all the consequences of wars.

"its like *insert blatantly wrong, extrapolated, hyperbolic metaphor of what I said*"

You can be read like a spreadsheet bro

what was the metaphor I made exactly? I made conclusions which made use of the logic of the statements made by the other user

you always make the wrong conclusion though lmao

And arguably letting them establish their own 'backwards culture' islands would be even more disastrous

So when are you going to take the government to court and force them to let in all the economic migrants and terrorists?

1) what was the metaphor?
2) what was the illogical conclusion?

go back and see how you make absurd conclusions about the OP wanting open-door policy, when he/she clearly just wants to welcome the Calais refugees.

um, no? you claimed I made a metaphor and a wrong conclusion - *you* tell me what the **** I said. because I'm not claiming to have *ever* made a metaphorical or invalid statement here.

These people are desperate. They are forced to live in squalid conditions, with crime and other horrid things commonplace. There are children there.

They just want the chance to enter Britain to escape violence and warfare - and yes for a better life for themselves and their families.

Why are we being so intolerant and inhumane by not welcoming them to our country which has a proud tradition of homing refugees?

France is actually a safe country.

Doesnt mean they have to claim asylum there, though.

Nope, they should not be allowed in.

actually yes it does

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin_Regulation

The laws' the thing........

4. There is no legal requirement for a refugee to claim asylum in any particular country
Neither the 1951 Refugee Convention nor EU law requires a refugee to claim asylum in one country rather than another.

There is no rule requiring refugees to claim in the first safe country in which they arrive.

The EU does run a system – called the Dublin Regulations – which allows one EU country to require another to accept responsibility for an asylum claim where certain conditions apply.

The relevant conditions include that the person is shown to have previously entered that other EU country or made a claim there. This is supposed to share responsibility for asylum claims more equitably among EU countries and discourage people moving on from one EU country to another. But it doesn’t work.

Where we gonna house 'em all eh? There's already a chronic social housing shortage in the UK, largely due to mass migration. A large hotel nearby to me has been allocated to house Syrian refugees (rent-free, naturally). Everyone that lives near by is disgusted by this. They roam the local area In gangs, shoplifting from shops (charity shops even)- because people like that have no decorum or scruples it's a way of life in their home country. Letting people in with vastly dissimilar culture to our own is just asking for trouble if you ask me.

Where is this??
