I thought you'd be busy planning your escape? Didn't you say in the event of a Brexit vote, you would leave the country?
I have some ideas in the pipeline A lot of it depends if we hard brexit (which it looks like we will), if so I'm seriously considering moving to Scotland in the hope they go independent and re-join the EU, or consider another country entirely, like New Zealand, despite being small they have none of this toxic hate for immigrants and refugess. Also keeping an eye on the progress of The Commonwealth Freedom of Movement Organisation; http://www.cfmo.org/
That's initially what our government said. Only the strong make it to our borders so they agreed to take in refugees from the camps in those countries. Then, of course, the lefties screamed that there was innocent children in the Calais Jungle. "Will please somebody think of the children!" So the government backtracked and said they will house like 20,000 kids.
So what do you think we should do with the refugees at Calais, in particular the kids?
God, it absolutely sickens me. When I go to central Leeds, I see homeless people on the street begging for money. But that doesn't matter. As long as you're a refugee, you can come here, get a nice comfortable house for free, live on benefits YET there is British kids having to live in the gutter. And you really wonder Ian, why we voted to leave the EU? Seriously?[/qupte]
Well Mike, I know all too well about the madness of homelessness in the UK, I worked in a shelter when I was younger. And as much as I'd like to see a lot more being done for the homeless, I don't distinguish from those who are homeless born in the UK as being of more worth than the homeless from any other country. Also, keep in mind that the refugee crisis is unprecedented, I don't like it but western governments had to make a decision as the problem was quite literally on their doorstep. Like I said I don't like it but homelessness gets brushed away under the carpet so to speak.
