"(not necessarily 'refugees')."
Meant to reply to this before I got diverted
There is little, if any difference between people fleeing wars we have helped exist and those fleeing the poverty our involvement in the new International slavery we have supported by filling our shops with its goods - they are all infact refugees, however you choose to divide them to let your government off the hook
The same with the "what about France" finger-pointing
We are just as responsible as the countries concerned for the appalling conditions forced on fleeing human beings as are the nations they happened to be trapped in - it is our problem and our moral responsibility to solve it
