OK ....all good messages BUT where are we going to put all these new incomers ? already accommodation is in short supply with all those arriving on the beaches ....yesterday there was a warning that some of these asylum seekers have been found carrying guns .........what !!! who are we letting into this country ? In years gone by we welcomed refugees from all countries ...Jewish people integrated very well and on the whole caused no problems and carried on their own religion whilst otherwise becoming valuable members of society. Likewise the Ugandan asian who arrived when Idi Armein threw them out .......and the Asian people who arrived have made useful and valuable contributions to society, many becoming doctors, nurse and are valued. BUT the latest batches of those coming to the UK appear to have little idea of western culture, continue to demand different food, have a different religion and beliefs as to the clothes they wear ...I lived in France where the Burka is forbidden ....a good thing, a of course it immediately stands out so everyone knows that the wearer is a follower of a certain religion and therefore a target of any one who disagrees with their beliefs, If all these people are to come to the UK then insistence must be made that they make all attempts to integrate and not stand out. Teachers and social services are overloaded already with numbers of children that do not speak English in their classes. In other countries (such as France) schools insist that children wishing to join the education system from other countries must be taught the language before they can join the school. This often involves (for English speakers) private lessons paid for by the parents. Quite right too ! All those from any country who assisted the British forces in interpretation etc should be first in line for help in re locating and something has to be done to relieve the already enormous tax burden as well as the overwhelming of the NHS, Social Services, housing and education that will happen ...and sadly there are already generations of British citizens living here for all their lives who are unable to access social care, medical treatment, housing, etc ...........no mention has been made of helping them .....the fact that people are living on the streets and having to see all incomers being offered a roof over their heads, money, education and medical care must be horrendous ...no wonder the suicide rate is increasing, I am glad I don;t have to solve this problem !
at 'we av to help are own' argument when the increases to adult social care on our council tax is moaned about to high heaven.
