Susan Sarandon and Syrian Refugees

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

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 ,

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

Yes rosesarered , I really did

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

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.

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

Well, of course it's not only Syria that needs saving from IS. The springing up of IS could be just the spur needed for all nations to come together to defeat them. And stop the war in Syria as a start. I imagine even Assad realises that IS are evil.

And America wants Assad out . Is he any better than IS, he has bombed and gassed Syrians too.

Pleased you can joke about it, roses. You obviously did not read the article, otherwise you would not be able to take the bloody piss. Typical.

The beeb news this evening showed the camp at Calais , the RSPCA wouldn't allow animals to live in those conditions , such despair , how can we let people live like this

While there is much discussion on here about 'what should be done with refugees' Monmouthshire just gets on with it.
Thanks for the suggestions anyway.

Meanwhile, there are also homeless and vulnerable people requiring shelter in Monmouthshire and surrounding distrcts.

As has other welsh countries rosequartz, the increase in homeless people in this country is due to this government , msny more young people are homeless because they have bern hit really hard by the Tories

Nothing to do with the fact that Wales has a Labour administration that couldn't organise a proverbial piss-up in a local brewery.

Not saying that a Labour Government at Westminster would be as useless as them, hope you understand!

“Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.” - Desmond Tutu.

I'm with Desmond Tutu on this. Call it virtue signalling if you want.

On www.globalcitizen.org you can send a message to a child refugee, welcoming him or her to the UK.

That's a great sentiment djen

So the Labour run welsh assembly are to blame for the high rise in homeless people though out England ?

And the welsh assembly stopped young people receiving benefits?

Any publicity Susan Sarendon can spread in the US to counteract Mr Trump can't be bad. Make the US people see that refugees are people in need of help and not terrorists.

I thought we were talking about Wales, in particular your desire to concrete over green and pleasant Monmouthshire with housing estates and factories, which sounds a bit like Nimbyism as i don't think you live there ab.
There are disused factories around, which could be put into use again if you wish, and large tracts of land already under development around in the area - factories and housing- without building on productive farm land and AONB.
Building on the lush productive farm land and then having to import food seems counter-productive to me.

Anyway, I think that Monmouthshire and surrounding districts and Wiltshire are amongst the first to wecome refugees. I don't think there is a need to concrete over whole counties especially up the Sugarloaf Mountain.

As djen said in her Desmond Tutu quote 'do your little bit of good where you are' etc.

Rosequartz, it was yet another error, mixed up you and rosesarered again

I notice that fracking is planned in the Forest of Dean, just the English side of the Wye Valley.

It's so beautiful there

It is beautiful, but it also has an industrial heritage stretching back to Roman Times.
Iron and coal mining and other industries, etc.

Apparently part of the new Star Wars movie was filmed in Puzzlewood, they told people they were filming 'Countryfile' to put them off the scent.

I should have said 'Pre-Roman times'
