to want to share a website with an ignorant colleague

[mrskeithlemon]

An n ignorant racist colleague has been ranting all morning about how all asylum seekers should go home.

WIBU to email her some facts about asylees and refugees, or should I leave her to it?

[Beaverfeaver]

do it!

[SnapesMistress]

Yeah do it.

[OldGreyWassailTest]

Perhaps she thinks this country is 'full' and can't take in any more? Let her rant.

[DesperatelySeekingPomBears]

Send her to the firm where I work and she can chat to some of the unaccompanied asylum seeking children about what they've seen/been subjected to in their home countries.

[mrskeithlemon]

No, she is not going on about capacity, she is talking about money and how bad we have it because of immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers.......

[Tianc]

Please do it.

Or send her to me and I'll introduce her to some lovely taxpaying teachers, nurses, IT consultants and plumbers who came here as asylum seekers.

[fuzzynavel]

The "open door policy" for immigration has left us struggling though has it not.

[DesperatelySeekingPomBears]

fuzzy you, like most others, are confusing 'asylum seeker' with 'immigrant'. An asylum seeker is someone who cannot return to their home country or is forced to flee their home country because they have a genuine fear that they will be killed/tortured if they do so. We have a legal obligation to offer such people a safe haven.

[StoneSoup]

Um, we don't have an 'open door' policy, either

[loveglove]

leave her to it, her rantings are her business really unless she's stirring up a hate crowd of doom.

[loveglove]

which she won't be, she's just making herself look stoopid.

[Tianc]

If she STFU, it might be just her business. But she's choosing to make it your business by ranting at you.

[fuzzynavel]

That was a figure of speach for allowing too many in StoneSoup

[BupcakesandHaunting]

fuckn immigrunts steelin all are jobs and taking all are dowl.

[fuzzynavel]

Now now bupcakes, was that necessary. Yes, we do have a problem due to sheer numbers, its a fact.

[StoneSoup]

Its a misldeading an unhelpful figure of speech. How many is 'too many' asylum seekers, btw?

[BeeMyBaby]

there are plenty of false asylum seekers who try to twist our immigration system for their own benefit - perhaps she was meaning them? Cases can take years to resolve and although I believe those with pending cases are not allowed to work and get little benefits (if any) it doesn't stop cash in hand employment, educational benefits etc being given.

[BupcakesandHaunting]

Well, my solution would be (if it's a number-based problem) ship out all of the career doleys from Great Britain then replace them with hard-working immigrants.

[fuzzynavel]

Stop trying to split hairs StoneSoup.

I didn't mention asylum seekers by the way.

[Whatmeworry]

Well, my solution would be (if it's a number-based problem) ship out all of the career doleys from Great Britain then replace them with hard-working immigrants

Yup, let someone else have our uneconomic migrants :)

[porcamiseria]

she wont give a shit whatever you send her
maybe send her links to the EDL instead ?
On facebook 17,878 people like English Defence League EDL

and in finding you this data I also inadvertantly "liked" them on facebook myself!!!!!

[BupcakesandHaunting]

You misunderstand me.

I was thinking ship them off to a South Pacific island.

[MoaninMinny]

An asylum seeker is someone who cannot return to their home country or is forced to flee their home country because they have a genuine fear that they will be killed/tortured if they do so.

not always. The guy i work with comes from Zimbabwe and was offered asylum. He goes back there annually for his hols.

[fuzzynavel]

yep, the bloke upstairs brings Nigerians over to go get free treatment on the national health.

Bupcake and Stonesoup - what ridiculous comment you have made. Do you live in upperclass bubbles? Enjoying what fruits (undercutting) cheap labour can bring?

Come to where I live for a day in working class Britain. You may change your tune.
