Little old ladies, nuns, vicars, babies, children, honest, decent men and women?....
Come on now you know you have to specify exactly who you are referring to every time you post or someone or other will accuse you of being xenophobic, racist or whatever, especially those who haven't bothered to read and digest your previous posts...
Anyway, does anyone know how Geldof's charitable efforts are going? With all his money and high level contacts, I'd imagine his properties are already full of refugees as are those belonging to all the other celebrity saints who appear so moved at times like this. I'm just a little confused about why it's taken him so long to offer them up though. Poverty, famine, plague, war and death aren't exactly new phenomena and they've all been the subject of many a lavish, star studded, fund raising bash over the years haven't they...

Re: Unstoppable migration?
I'd take issue with the claim that Europe is taking the burden here. Lebanon has more than a million refugees, and there are a very large number staying put in Turkey, close to the border with Syria.

How many are using up limited resources like housing? It will be the UN etc providing resource such as food. Once they move elsewhere it is the "host" countries that bear the costs.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
Yes there is a significant difference but, given the numbers, the strain on places like Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan must be severe. The long term ramifications for the host countries will of course be different and I imagine those who make it to the EU are far less likely ever to go back. It seems many stuck in neighbouring countries which can't cope are doing just that.

Meanwhile:

Some 40,000 migrants could arrive in Germany over the next two days, officials say - double the number who entered the country last weekend.
Most are expected to arrive in the southern city of Munich but there are concerns about whether the region can cope with another large influx.
About 4,000 troops are being deployed in Germany for logistical support.
Germany has become an attractive destination for Syrian refugees since it waved EU rules on dealing with them.

Maybe they should have thought about all that before doing so. It's not like this crisis erupted overnight is it.
Now having acted unilaterally and with entirely foreseeable consequences, the Germans are telling everyone else they need to help out. It'll be interesting to see how many of those given refuge in Germany will be allowed to stay they and who they'll select to ship off elsewhere. Any chance of cherry picking I wonder...

Re: Unstoppable migration?
An interesting allegation:
Quote:
THE father of the three-year-old boy whose lifeless body washed up on a Turkish beach was allegedly a people smuggler and was at the helm of the boat when it foundered, killing his son. Australian broadcaster Network Ten has aired allegations that Aylan Kurdi’s father Abdullah was a people trafficker who skippered the vessel which capsized off the Turkish coast.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
Wow what a surprise!!!
The level of ineptitude which has been displayed by the EU in general over the last couple of years and Merkel in particular more recently is quite staggering and it's culminated in the Germans spitting out their dummy having got what they asked for. It's really quite bizarre.
I have no sympathy for Germany, if they're doing this because their population is falling then that's one thing but doing so in such a hamfisted manner, then doling out the insults and threats to those who disagree with their stance really does take the biscuit. They talked the talk now they should walk the walk and get on with it. Can't see that happening though - they rather like having their cake and eating it. Unlike Germany, our population isn't falling - far from it - so no lectures about more migration from Merkel please.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
And now the Germans closes the border... in violation of EU "free movement" Schengen agreements. But they probably wrote-in a get-out clause.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
Coupled with the Greek debacle this episode is going to store up a whole lot of antipathy towards the Germans.

Re: Unstoppable migration?
'Go home!' After years of Eastern European migrants starting new lives in the UK now it's the turn of their own countries to complain about new arrivals
