Cannot believe this bigotry

peed myself laughing

What does PML mean?

hope you were attemting irony and not trolling

PML

Yes, and we all wear woad still.

I find that reading the comments underneath an article shows me the sort of people who read the paper or website.
I then know whether or not to read any more from the same source.

Well, if that statement isn't a wind-up etheltbags, I fear for your sanity.

I am speechless! This is a wind up, isn't it?

shame on you for talking this way, sorry- listen to yourself. Plain and sheer provocation- so won't bite any further.

Ive been reading earlier posts on this subject and some believe they will be sent to the North, what have we done to deserve them? The North is wild and uncluttered and long may it stay that way.

Slavery will help both sides, years ago we had the feudal system and that was the same and it worked out quite well.

yeah bring back slavery- that will help a lot.

couldn't all families in the uk who have a spare room, adopt one of the refugees, they could be a sort of servant and do the housework while we are at work/leisure, they would get bed and board and they would be happy and we would have a cheap source of help, it would save the government millions in paying care workers for the elderly and disabled and the refugees would have a home.

ok, well it was just a thought!!!!!

I didn't feel a need to (or any interest in) reading the comments. I was interested in what the politician had to say.

Most of the comments have no connection with the article, of course - just a chance for people to parade their ignorance and prejudices.

Have you read the comments, bags? Pretty awful.

Senior German politican says immigrants must endeavour to adapt to liberal Germany.

This isn't here. This isn't refugees. This is the government of a country where some GNs think refugees should be sent. Do you really want Saudi to have more people to execute?

Saudi Arabia is about to behead a 21-year-old man and then crucify him to display his body in public. This same country was just chosen to head a U.N. Human Rights Council panel. If it weren’t so serious this would be funny!

Ali Mohammed al-Nimr was arrested when he was 17 for participating in demonstrations against the government, then he was convicted under torture. But his case is not an exception in the kingdom -- Saudi Arabia has executed more than 100 people this year, that’s a rate of one every 2 days!

France has already requested that Saudis stop this execution, but the US, Germany, and the UK also have very cosy relationships with the regime. The best way to get urgent action is to channel our outrage to these leaders who can persuade their Saudi allies. Sign up now to save Ali, and then stop this human rights farce, his execution could happen any time:

Saudi is now Chair of the UN committee that oversees nominations to key special rapporteurs and experts. Ali’s whole atrocious case shows how absurd that is! Human rights experts say this is an ‘arbitrary execution’ prohibited under the international Convention on the Rights of the Child, as Ali would be executed for crimes committed when he was a minor. Ali is the nephew of a prominent Shia cleric, who has also been sentenced to death.

But they will go ahead unless there is a massive cost on the international stage.

The above governments have an ugly, but tight trade relationship with Saudi -- they either sell the Kingdom weapons or buy oil, or both! We know their voices count. When we campaigned earlier this year for the German Vice Chancellor to tell Saudi officials to stop the flogging and possible execution of the blogger Raif Badawi, Sigmar Gabriel spoke out. Badawi hasn’t been flogged in months and he’s still alive, even though he is still rotting in prison.

Let’s urgently get these powerful leaders to tell Saudis that they must stop this execution and then demand they weigh in at the UN Human Rights Council to ensure this new role is challenged. Sign now - let’s help save this young man’s life:

When regimes worldwide violate basic human rights, our community has spoken out and helped stop atrocities. Let’s now raise our voices for Ali.

Meersbrook it sounds like a perfectly reasonable apprehension. You put it well.

Award winning documentary on bbc4 tonight [Storyville] at 10 about a family in Syria. I was going to have an early night but will try to stay up for it; will be on catchup afterwards though.

That doesn't sound like fear, Meersbrook. It sounds more like dislike or even hatred. Nothing like pulling up the drawbridge.
If anyone should welcome refugees, it should be someone from your background, and with your history.

A UN official has said that Britain and France are not doing enough to help the people in Calais. I agree.

I'm of a mixed race, mixed religion background, the daughter of an refugee (although Dad was only five when they arrived) but I understand that part of the reason for disliking immigrants nowadays is fear. I must admit that I too at times worry a little. Since the last war thousands of people from across the world have arrived and have become assimilated. My grand parents couldn't wait to become more 'English' and apart from their religion, they changed their complete lifestyle.
But when people come in great numbers from a completely different culture, some of whom wish to import their own obnoxious laws, refuse to integrate and plan to blow us up, people worry.

Not so,below the belt.Not at all.

Poor Elizabeth

It's so right - the article I mean. All those people demanding JC wears a tie, does up his top button, sings the National Anthem, etc., have been bucketed or is it that they are showing their inner bucket - brilliant.
