Susan Sarandon and Syrian Refugees

Heard this morning if we free Syria from IS, there are similar ready to take over, happening in Lybia now

We can't build for everyone in this world. There has to be a more sensible solution found. Stop the war to start off with. With or without Assam still in power.

And put money into refugee camps. And stop the boats.

I shall have to use emojis even more than I usually do in that case!?

Yes rosesarered , I really did

ab you don't imagine I was serious do you? ?

Jingle, rosesarered suggested Wales, anyone with a scrap of knowledge of the country will know we have three national parks ,South Wales has very high unemployment . This leaves three mountain ranges - trying building on those, miles of forestry and farmland ,

I know cheaper in Wales, will the government build houses in mid Wales or reduce unemployment in South Wales ? Monmouthshire is flat enough for new housing estates and factories

The fact is that people have to go where there are plenty of jobs, so London and Greater London and The Thames Valley really are bursting at the seams, and not enough houses, and other infrastructure for them.

That was to ab

Oh what a stupid thing to say. Are we really supposed to give everything of beauty over to these troubles? I want my grandchildren to see the beauty of the countryside.

Shall we hope that the UN talks have a good outcome?

What, with Cotswolds house prices? much cheaper in Wales.

Wales is taking refugees but also whilst Wales has plenty of open spaces there is no housing on snowdonia, Beacons or Black mountains or in the middle of forestries. Lots of room on the Cotswolds though

'Failed asylum seekers are not refugees' exactly Rose

'The no-mans land of Leeds' djen is it that bad?

ab there is plenty of room in Wales maybe, but the south of England is bursting at the seams.

High profile figures can keep attention on this very difficult situation. Poorer places than the UK / US are currently attempting to assist the vast majority of displaced families.

If UK/US offered more practical /financial help in the places where the refugees are, and come from, it would be a step towards alleviating the dreadful suffering.

I believe we do have the money to expand the NHS /schools but not the political will to do so.

Many of the refugees would be beneficial to our economy in the long run.

It would be interesting to think what immigration policy based on applicants need to live safely would look like. All those antipodean migrants would be sent home...making space for those who NEED to relocate.

They are invented for the use of those who enjoy patronising and putting people down

No. I think the phrase is very relevant to today's society, with its social media. These phrases are usually invented as a result of some sort of need.

The answer has to be logical. I'm not sure what your answer to the refugee problem actually is. What would you do?

Pleeeease, virtual signalling is just used in a useless attempt to shut up people who are more worried about people without a home than how does Delia or nigella cook the turkey

I am being realistic, winter - cold, wind, rain, snow - no shelter - human beings

You have to be realistic.

Yes. And of course, we've got room for all the human beings in the world in these little islands. And our NHS and schools have overflowing coffers.

Stop the virtue signalling.

Human beings ?

Failed asylum seekers are not refugees. There is a reason they have failed the criteria for obtaining refugee status.
(Destroyed papers? economic migrants?)

What else can we expect when a member of this governments cabinet said in a tv interview, if we accept them here it would lower our standard of living
