Refugees

Yes there is

Couldn't give a direct link as it kept my info on.

From Germany,
The refugees are here in our town. It does you good to see that they are real people, there were families at the market and on the bus ( with their pre paid bus tickets)
I was pleased to see them tucking in to good wholesome German bread and rolls and cheese in Stuttgart. At long tables with Germans waiting on them and children drinking milk and beginning to play again.
We have no more accomodation left but there are gymnasiums in schools and colleges and they get beds donated by IKEA and al least the 'rooms' are partitioned for familes.

The EU is not a police state. What can Germany or Britain do if the Hungarians behave so abominally. Of course they condemn it but considering the place, how could police forces from France or Denmark get there to bring order? It is scandalous but not the EU's fault. it is the fault of the Hungarians - a throw back from their communist days.

I said I'd leave this thread and did for a while. I just wanted to report someting positive but no doubt ROSENQUARTZ and POGs will find some fault.
Goodbye again......

That is truly horrific. Is there a petition? Can't something be done?

Anyone think Saudi should take refugees?

Done. We will all be fighting over the pathetic number the Tories are letting in!

For those who think petitions do not work.

If it stands by and does nothing it doesn't deserve to exist in my opinion. Nothing can excuse a child/ baby being harmed in this way. We should have learned this much 70odd years ago. I cannot express how disgusted and horror struck I am.

I've just seen on Channel 4 News men, women and young children being attacked and sprayed at close quarters with tear gas in Hungary. What is the EU going to do about this disgraceful, and increasingly racist, behaviour?

I think this is becoming a real test for the EU and its treaties relating to the Human Rights Act and all the other treaties relating to this. How will it be remembered when we come to vote?
So much for a Union (should be underlined)

OMG!!! (*whitewave*)

What, where?
Oh no

Terrible scenes on the News tonight. Those poor children

Where are we going as human beings? Just watched a baby being tear gassed

I'd heard that Welshwife. I heard as well that members of his family were flown out of the US very quickly after 9/11 [back to Saudi] but that could be a memory lapse on my part.

I don't know what the was there for. I was only asking.

I thought that the Taliban and Al Qaeda sprang from the Mujaheddin in Afghanistan at the time when they were fighting the Russian invasion - the Mujaheddin - including Osama Bin Laden- were trained by the West.

And let's not forget Rwanda. Where were we then?

Thank you Joelsnan. You do not waffle. You explain things very well.

Yes, oil, oil and more oil.

Unlike oil-less Zimbabweans, who no-one seemed to want to rescue.

Remember if you can, GWB , and his sidekick TB, GW had not much been out of US and TB, less said the better.

They did not understand Islam and were just warmongerers, and look where we are now.

The Ismailis, a sect of Shiiaism, treat men and women equally, and are led by the Aga Khan, send the girls to school, and both work the fields together.

J'snan living in, or visiting other countries, gives a different perspective.

Long time back when I was travelling in NWFP , Pakistan, a lady with her kids took pity on me as I was travelling alone and gave me bags of fruit.
I had the sense to take pix of my O/H, Kids, and they were passed all round the bus.

Modern day problem is smartphones, and social media where the trafficers
prey.

And silly posters

No Jinglebellfrocks I have not, however until May I lived in the region for quite a number of years, mixed with every nationality and religious persuasion and asked questions. My Masters thesis did include understanding the culture and sensitivities of the regional population.

Oh yes; that is possibly correct ...

Tegan. Could it be that they are the biggest oil producer in the world and buy an awful lot of arms from the west. Just an idea.

What I never understand is why Saudi Arabia can never do wrong in the eyes of the West no matter how awful their human rights record is.

Yes; I agree. It's actually the opposite of waffle [whatever that is!].
