i knew there was more to this than i was aware of. but i did not realize that i have been manipulted to the degree i was.
thanks for going with me on this subject.
i cannot say i blame peope for not wanting to stay in greece, it sounds horrendous, i think i would rather take my chances elsewhere.
i am not sure about france pasing the buck to us. we turn more people away than we take in. surely this is counter productive? this just creates illegals trying to come in by other means. increasing debts to the traffickers, thereby giving them more wealth.
why are france not very well equipped for these poor people. the article says that are building more centers for them, but why are there not enough already? is it possible that once you have assylum you can go to another country legally with a passport? even if not, i always thought you at least got somewhere safe and decent to live while you await assylum or a work permit? so why not go down that route, at least until you find a way here?
the tactics used by the BNP are to scare us all that this country will be taken over by migrants, where as that report says anything but that.
if we didn't do anything to try to stop the BNP then we would be just as guilty as those who don't vote in allowing them to get in unopposed. i wonder whether peaceful protest would come under intimidation in that sort of list?
back to migrants or assylum seekers, there is a myth that they get houses and new furniture and TVs to go with it, i unerstand most of that, what i don't get is the new part? is this true?
i also see why some people get angry about the way SOME migrants behave.
example: mum and dad were doing a carbbot sale, they have alot asians in their town due to being a universiity town. it was towards the end when an asian family came to their stall, they asked how much some hair straightners were. they got told 50p. they threw them down with no respect and look like they were being ripped off.
that sounds awful and petty i know, but when you have to live with that attitude from alot of people for a long time you start to feel resentment towards that group.
i also know that carboot sales are famous for things being cheap, that is the whole point, but there comes a time when you get sick of a group of people always wanting good stuff for nothing.
i know too that you cannot tar everyone with the same brush, that there are rude people everywhere and of all skin colours, but i think that kind of thing is just rude. maybe people like that stick out more and are more remembered because they have been rude and abnoxious.
ok, i now sound like the biggest racist going, i assure you i am not, but i do see why these things annoy people. it is easy for me to be even handed as i am not normally on the recieving nd of this sort of behaviour, i would hope that if i was on a regular basis, i would try to talk to whoever it was about it, instead of banding all groups of people together.
i will shut up now, as i feel like i am digging a great big hole!!! LOL
