Subject: RE: BS: Refugee Clampdown
"How many refugees do you have in your front room Jimmy? "
What a predictably stupid (and defensive) response
The refugee problem is an international one caused by politicians displaying international greed and self interest on our behalf
Individuals "taking in" refugees would give the impression that something is being done about it
You miss the point - addressing the refugee crisis is as much an act of self-interest as much as it is one of altruism.
Even if I wanted my family to espouse the Trumpist's 'Brave New World of Dog eat dog (I don't, I'd rather they were drowned in a bucket at birth than turn out like those people), I most certainly don't want them to inherit a life where they need to check under their cars for a bomb before they drive off in the morning.
One of the most dangerous side products of our unequal predatory world is a massive rise in international terrorism - Isis being a perfect example.
People in trouble who are exploited, marginalised and ignored will turn to those who appear to offer a solution.
Even the most stupid of those supporting murderous wars like Vietnam realised the value of winning 'hearts and minds'
It seems to be beyond your comprehension
Your display of brutishness is typical of everything that is gradually destroying what remains of civilised society
'Bout time you BOUGHT THE JACKET
You are neither clever or even funny - just brutish
