"Not that we have anything to celebrate".

There is nothing to celebrate about the 'refugee' con perpetrated by World Government (U.N) and leftist agitators intent on standing the West on its head.

It's good to be reminded, though, by Guy Hollowes that, at least, more countries are waking up to the 'refugee' scam and are ready to defend themselves from the invasion off illegal arrivals; particularly now that the description of 'refugees' is being slyly changed to mean something that it is definitely not.

How is stopping the boats "fruitless"? It is working a treat for Australia.

As for Hallowes' other "solutions" - nonsense. These over-populated countries (over- population is not a qualification for refugee status, by the way) need to do something for themselves. The West has already spent billions on them, and they have done nothing with it to solve THEIR problems. The West is not reponsible for no-hopers who don't get the message.

Oh I don't know!

I watched Q+A last night and the final question and the way it was put and ended, just hardened my resolve!

Thankfully, we now decide who we let in, and that's plenty; and indeed, something to celebrate!

Those who don't like us or here, are perfectly free to go elsewhere; or better yet, just don't apply for admission in the first place!

And a nice change from the tail wagging the dog, that used to be our refugee policy!
Rhrosty.

Rhrosty,

I hadn't looked at it that way, but yes, at the moment. Could be back to open borders when when you-know-who gets back. They never learn.

I admire your ability to watch Q&A. I gave it away long ago for many reasons, not the least of those being Tony Jones, who is one of the few people in the media who raises my blood lust.

Condemning World Carbon production is rich, coming
from a man, the pope, who won't allow contraception.

Like the billions of people in the world consuming coal for electricity to cook and
for warmth, aren't a big reason for global warming

Again the huge amount of refugees in the world, almost certainly
has a lot to do with 7billion people competing for land,food and
resources. When those things get scarce,bandit groups,warlords,
like Boko Haram and the Taliban, take their share with guns, leaving the unarmed people to flee and struggle in camps for their survival.

Again, women having education,access to contraception and power over their own bodies, would have kept the population down to at least half of 7billion.

The fault for the refugee crisis lies at the feet of male leaders
of poverty stricken countries and the warlords who just take
their share from everybody else driving them off so they can have
their possessions.

They could have spent the billions given to them by the West
in building medical centres and giving women control of their own
bodies 30years ago. But no! the male leaders would never do that.

A curse on the men in these countries, bring the women and children here, but not the men. Let them stay in the hell-holes
they created. Don't blame the developed countries because they
have successful policies. Look inward Africa,India and all muslim
countries, therein lies the cause of your problems. It's your male
attitudes to women that need to change, not Europe and the West, our way of life works for us. Maybe you should take a lesson from us.
Come out of the medieval mindset.

Until you do, you are flogging the dead horse of a past that no longer serves the world. Indeed, is causing most of the hardship
and poverty and pollution besetting the planet everywhere.

The Pope ought to realize that the injunction for the faithful to fill the whole Earth is no longer applicable and that the 'Sin of Onan' was not practicing contraception but rather not getting his widowed sister-in-law pregnant.
Onan got zapped for his greed not the act of 'spilling his seed'; he was supposed to spill it where it would continue his brother's line but he chose to hang onto his late brother's property.
