I am sorry but there is nothing hateful about describing people correctly: they ceased to be refugees when they left safe countries such as Turkey and Tunisia. But as you are so compassionate, tell me this: how are the helping the situtation in terms of deaths when it is your own kindness (aka let them all in) which is attracting more and more of them to cross the sea to get here and hence we have more drownings?
Did you not see the Australian solution to this problem where the deaths have now completely stopped and the Australian people are also happy?
No we must not deal with the consequences. The election to government of a political party does not give that government a blank cheque to do anything it likes just because it was elected. We're a constitutional monarchy not a democracy, and in addition to that the government ought to carry out what it pledged when it was campaigning for office: and this government made very strong pledges on reducing the numbers coming into this country which it has utterly failed to do.
My conscience is clearer than most as I voted Ukip but the government should still listen: rather than change policy based on one petition.
Syria has not been bombed as far as I know as thankfully, the House of Commons voted it down over two years ago which I am very thankful for: the best decision made in a long time yet even back then I had do-gooders on this forum telling me we should go in to "help" just like now.
This argument is always recycled when it comes to immigration and it is total nonsense. Let's just take European immigration from the poorer Eastern countries as an example. Now you state that British people losing their jobs and being undercut by mass immigration is just how the world works (no it doesn't as most other countries actually put their own people first but whatever) yet what you fail to understand is that of course immigrants can do that because when you are a Briton working in say industry, with a house and family to pay for: it's a lot harder to survive on low wages than it is for a single, young and fit Polish man who sleeps in a rented bedsit on the floor with ten other men.
It is also disingenuous of you to say this is about hatred of foreigners when time and time again polls show the British people overwhelmingly want immigration brought down: we don't want the lowest paid to be constantly undercut so large corporations can have cheap labour without raising wages, we don't want our towns and cities to change drastically where it no longer even feels like our own country and we do not want a free for all where anybody can literally walk into this country. That is not hatred that is a sensible set of concerns which ought to be addressed.
We want an immigration system like the rest of the world - Japan, Australia, New Zealand - have. That's common sense not hatred.
Yes because highly educated and wealthy Britons are totes comparable to Eastern Europeans, Africans, Asians and Arabs.
