Refugees

[InayaWoo]

Am I wrong to feel the people of this country are using the "Cost of Living" narrative to justify not helping migrants and refugees who seek refuge for themselves? Neglecting our British values, passing the buck to Rwanda and European countries. The attitude towards those fleeing war zones and risking everything to come to this country on harsh waters is outrageous!

I was in the corner shop today and over heard a couple of women making digs about foreigners. To make unjustified claims such as "it makes us unsafe", "we don't have jobs" or my personal favourite - "they don't integrate into society." What on earth has happened to our British values? To make others feel welcome and to help others in need of help!

Every human has a right to safety, affordable housing, food, water, education and a healthcare system. Those are all things our wonderful country can provide and quite frankly has a moral obligation to provide for those coming from other parts of the world that aren't as fortunate as us.

This is such a rubbish argument. Do you believe that the government should support the NHS? Yes - then go and volunteer at the hospital. Should we support good education - go and teach kids how to read, etc etc
I would take in a refugee but we have no spare bedroom. My parents have taken in a Ukrainian woman and would have taken in others but it's not easy.
People do want to help and the government could support that much better. homes for Ukraine shown how willing people are. They should do a similar scheme with other refugees.

So for trying to help those in war torn nations I'm the villain? That roof is for my children, what’s) your logic?

@InayaWoo You won't say why you can't make your children share a bedroom and help some of these refugees. Why won't you?

Plus the immigrant that was housed securely last week in a mh facility for killing the 2 students and grandfather. We don't want these specimens in our country - what use are they? They take, they don't give. They don't work do they? Send them back

They should claim asylum in the first safe country they land in. But nope, they continue to flock here in their thousands.....

The country does not have the infrastructure or public services to accommodate these people. That's a fact, we just DON'T.

What about the white grooming gangs? Which obviously doesn’t make headline news because it’s not as interesting enough.

Are you aware of how privileged it is to have your house and room each. People elsewhere would love that and wouldn’t mind the space offered

If you want to help you can

More than an mn thread, actual help

I've seen swarms of men coming in, not many women though

Actually it just seems British women are too entitled and judgemental.

@InayaWoo

Me personally house them?

Well you have a large house. Where else do you expect people to go? Are councils expected to suddenly find houses? They are refusing to go into Bibby Stockholm or barracks accommodation. So what is your solution?

British values? And what are they exactly?

I think you'll find what people think they are and are different depending on the newspaper they read.

I’m a mother of two and I made space in my home for a Ukrainian refugee mother and her two daughters for a year…. Because I was passionate about helping

what are you doing to help about something you’re so passionate about?

Exactly! Never known more entitlement and whining like you hear from British women.

Sounds like Brute abroad!

Every human has a right to safety. Where there is conflict is regarding refugees / migrants who travel through many, and leave, safe countries (ie France) to come to claim asylum in UK.

Are you saying the study is wrong?

My solution is equal rights. Houses, like you live in.

Yes.

And when there is no more land to build housing what then? Should we destroy all our green spaces for homes and become an entire land of bricks and mortar

If you have a 4bed house op I assume it had a garden, I'm sure you'll happily have housing built on it to house them infact you won't have a choice the government will cpo it and build it.

but clearly that man's values aren't very 'British' are they !

Do you really think British men aren’t out here attacking women?

The op clearly isn't interested in hearing any of your opinions, evidence or arguments. Doesn't matter what you say, she has a fixed mindset. She's just here for the drama.

Should we be a nation that refuses to help refugees?
