I find it very revealing that open borders is exactly what you are advocating Suse, but either you don't understand the effect of taking in the thousands that are coming, or you don't want to admit to yourself that this is exactly the long term result of your desire to help these people.

All & any help will merely encourage more in a huge escalation. I don't know if Europe have the ridiculous family reconciliation policy that we have. If so they will get a dozen more for every one they let in now. In that case Germany has just opened their door to about a million last month alone.

They are going to have to stop them, & in view of the stupidity of the bleeding hearts about our policy of offshore detention centres, once they let them in, they'll never get rid of them.

There is already fighting in France with the French, & the Moroccan Muslim imports, with like us, no go areas in their larger cities. Let these middle eastern lot in, & European countries, will become ungovernable. The resulting chaos will help no one, & will lead to civil war. Middle eastern Muslims can not run a civil society, nor live in one.

Anyone who does not repel an invasion will be defeated.

'Repel an invasion" Hasbeen?
Do we repel them by shooting them all....or what?

Should we shoot them all at the borders to other countries, or will we just bomb their home countries before they have a chance to leave?

Would we even want to live in a world where half the world''s population had shot or destroyed the other half? World War 3?
How sad...

What do you think is happening now ?

Only in your dreams Bazz.
I hope that common sense and compassion prevails and we don't end up with World war 3.

Suze, the underlying problem with the people is that despite the bleak future they face, they won't stop breeding. Surely responsible parenting says that if there are no jobs, no housing and limited to no food or water, that that is no environment for a child. We have similar problems here as well only we have a now depleted welfare system that approaches this problem with open arms, simply because nobody in government posses a big stick. Yet, while we obviously don't have the resources to fund our own messes, you want to take some of our welfare away to give to foreigners, its just unsustainable and the sooner we come to that realization the sooner we can concentrate on looking after our own who by the way have been neglected, which is particularly sad for those who have worked for forty plus years and deserve the have a well earned break.

Poirot, there is a very very simple solution, it's called, stop the consumer from forever chasing a bargain because so long as over seas competitors can offer cheap deals, based on lower running costs, anyone doing business here has no choice other than to find ways to cut costs.

Another example is that while our dairy farmers continue to go broke, consumers, the most powerful lobby group in the country, continue to buy $1/ lt milk.

Our country is teetering on the edge of a recession and we have not yet lost our car industries, yet you still believe the tooth fairy will just save all our Jonson, along with our overly generous wages and conditions.

You had best keep dreaming because dreams are one thing no government can take away.
