I've had a major change of heart..

Someone is racist here.

How?

Waiting lists for houses are already long and we have many homeless on our streets already. What if we can't find them all houses? I'm sure you wouldn't want them on the streets. If we need to build more, where do we get the funds? I greatly admire the people who have agreed to let them into their homes, but why has it taken a migrant crisis for this charity to show?

Schools are also struggling to cope under the growing number of children needing a place, and, whilst our unemployment rates have improved lately, we still have many people currently out of work and needing a job. Will we have enough work for them all? A huge country debt doesn't help matters either.

Unfortunately, our funds aren't unlimited. Whilst I agree we could take some, there has to be a limit.

Why don't people understand Turkey/Jordan etc can't take the burden of all the refugees, it's only right we (or other countries if not us) help out?

Exactly. The people who are claiming that we need to help out the homeless on British streets are mostly just hypocrites anyway. More often than not they walk passed these people. They are just using the 'we need to look after our own' line to suit their own underlying agenda of not actually helping anyone. Its actually sickening that they're using the bad predicament many British nationals find themselves in to support their argument against helping those externally. All these people really care about is themselves, money and material goods no matter how much they preach otherwise.

If I were fleeing war, famine and persecution, "value for money" and economic opportunity wouldn't even cross my mind. I'd be accepting the first safe refuge I could find




So were many people around the world. Are you making a case for taking in all the downtrodden and impoverished globally?

At some point you're going to have to decide whether you're talking about refugees or illegal economic migrants here. They are two very discrete groups and should be treated as such.

For your information, reverse racism doesn't exist since it was created by white people in the first place, look it up.

Secondly that's not being racist because it is well known and understood that the media is majority white and male. The owners of vast media are white and male, it's not my personal belief it's a description of the reality.

Well here's something that doesn't require any reading. One simple question:

Can you explain for me why a true refugee would reject food and water and shelter in Hungary in order to walk hundreds of miles to Germany, endangering their own lives and the lives of their children in the process? Or are they seeking refuge from Hungary now lol

Of course we should help the homeless but this argument always comes up but none of these people are actually doing anything to contribute.

This has nothing to do with my post of showing some humanity.
You could have been born on the other side of the globe in their shoes.
In fact we are privileged.

Before getting all political, one must be human first.
Of course we should help the homeless.
It's not just UK i'm pissed at for not letting some people shelter, i'm pissed of at the Muslim countries such as Saudi Arab, who aren't taking in any people, other countries should contribute to help humans out, families like mine.

We need to start seeing people of other countries as HUMAN BEINGS first, then we can move forward.
Capitalism has drained our sense of empathy for other, we have become desensitized to people of other countries and their pain because we are so focused on the political affairs with world leaders which don't represent the people that we stop seeing them similar to us

Now they should go through the correct avenues for that...

No, you've missed the point. They should have claimed asylum and been processed in Turkey. At that point the UK and all other countries should take their fair proportion of the accepted refugees to resettle and provide new lives for them, in accordance with their legal and moral obligations.

Just because you read that it doesn't exist in "black, biased media" doesn't mean it doesn't exist in reality. What you just said about white people being biased in media proves this point. It's got nothing to do with majority being white and male, it's the fact that you're claiming they're liars, manipulating information because they are white - that's racist.

You do have the room. You are just accustomed to luxury and feel that you don't wish to share it. Most of your fellow citizens are of the same opinion.

Here is what will happen if the State takes in millions of refugees:

Someone will knock at the door of your house in your nice middle class community. When you will open the door you will find commissar Jamal and commissar Hussein, who will tell you that having such a big house for yourself is not what a moral citizen does and 2 families of migrants will be moving in with you. You will be allowed to keep part of one room and a bed and necessary personal belongings. Everything else in the house will be shared.

Oh lord, you can't be argued with.
Hopeless.
I am not claiming that, that's the way it is. Racism was a construct created by people of superiority such as white men, the media is run by white men, you're living in your little bubble so you have no idea. Vast media is owned by white men including newspapers.

You could say i can discriminate, be prejudice but i can't be racist because I'm not white.

For eg a bully pushes a boy and hurts him, the boy get back and pushes back, the bully says 'Yo that's reverse bullying' make sense?
--- it's not reverse bullying because the boy was defending himself or reacting to a situation created by that bully.

Done

This is precisely the point. To legally choose where they settle they must register as EU citizens first - that's black-letter law. If they reject the refugee camps and the humanitarian aid being offered and instead choose to smuggle themselves illegally across Europe then I'm afraid they forfeit any sympathy.

We have 2 million, mostly Brits, on the social housing waiting list.

Our NHS is struggling and barely getting along as it is.

You want to add more people to this already small island? Absolute madness.

The reality is that we can't even house our own and we want to bring in more?

If i was a mother who has children i'd have the highest hopes for me and my family and yes, to get a better life i would put everything at risk.

They rejected food because it was a protest, outrage and you can only guess why..

There are six hundred thousand empty homes in the UK.

They can find jobs and therefore pay into the pots that fund these things. An influx of youthful, skilled workers will be a welcome shot in the arm for the economy.
