Refugees-Welcome-Here-Rally Today

[trt]

I wonder how many of these people will feel the same in 12 Months time, when in the towns they live in, will have problems getting a doctors appointment, getting there children into their local schools, less jobs available, and no room at hospitals?

I'll leave AOG to,comment on the ethnicity of the people in the shot. But I echo your sentiments.

Many of these refugees look well dressed, are well spoken and from my assessment probably equivalent to our "middle classes." One refugee was a heart surgeon with his daughter and many had a good command of the English language.
Might it be, that many of these might contribute to the economy in the UK, particularly in the NHS where nurses and doctors are emigrating to U.S Canada and Australia.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

Cameron also said we were all in it together.

Serial liar seems apt.

[Mamyalynne]

We can speculate how these people will feel in 12 months time,but really only time will tell.

Sorry trt, just spotted your thread.

I'd thought the four future problems you've mentioned are with us already and are nothing to do with refugees.

The trouble with being given a gift horse, one has to be rich enough to feed them, stable them, train them, and be prepared to pay extensive Vet bills.

Oh and, have space for them to move around freely.

No perhaps not a the moment, but inviting even more in can only escalate the problems we now have.

Anyone remember the Ugandan Asians? When Idi Amin threw them out many came here with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Who would deny that they've made a good contribution to our society?

With Sandy and Sqad, currently in Germany, everyone seems to be coping.

"When Idi Amin threw them out many came here with little more than the clothes they were wearing. Who would deny that they've made a good contribution to our society? "

and I remember years ago an asian who i used to work with telling us exactly how a lot of them, got the money to start up their business....scamming benefits in every way imaginable...

[derekpara]

Well, I hope they will feel safe, and thankful to the country that offers them freedom and security and that they will accept the laws of our society and integate as quickly as possible.
