I live near to a large elderly care home that was closed because of lack of funds. The poor folks were moved around some no longer near their family so their visits will be less.
Its now being reburbished for migrants.I am sorry but this does not sit easily with me. My grandfather fought for freedom for this country .I really fear what the next twenty years will bring.
Yes of course the pictures are distressing but we cannot be all things to all people if we ourselves want a decent country for our grandchildren and great grandchildren in the future.
When our old folks are being cared for & our NHS is not at threat & our council waiting list isn't 23,000 over the country. We could do more.
We now have to have food banks for needy families, this is why we need to spend money on our own people. When we can afford to look after our own in safety and in health, then we can look to help others.
Your next comment stating genuine immigrants from Syria should be allowed in,how do we know where they originate from, some maybe genuine some on forged papers, a few could be ISIS some claiming they lost their paperwork but claiming to be Syrian, how can we know for sure when dealing with thousands of people arriving at once.
You're right about the need to separate those in genuine need from the economic migrants and other undesirables but what's going to happen about the hundreds, probably thousands, who have already slipped in under the radar?
£30k wiped off my pension (now can't get it until I'm 66) and I'm a carer and my husband gets
nothing after losing job when he had a big heart op. So I am not sympathetic to these people at
all. Many are not Refugees from conflict but economic migrants. We have huge jobless figures
here and many in jobs way below their real pay grade or part time. We need no more people to
make these problems worse. Housing and education - that's another area where we are falling
short and more people to make matters worse is becoming unmanageable. Then there is the
health risk. TB, Ebola etc do you want that here?
Nothing against immigration in the right context (I am the daughter of an immigrant fleeing from
religious persecution) but this country is FULL. Close the borders to EVERYONE.
Need I say she is not returning she admitted for a while they feared for their lives. And now agrees we do not know what agenda some of these people have.
The fact these people are given benefits and rooves over their heads is due to an edict from Brussels which says these people must receive the same rights and privileges as those received by citizens of the country they end up in!!
The most devastating facts remain that our own people are treated as second rate against these migrants!
