Did you miss the article that also said Germany is desperate for more immigrants due to their falling population!

There'd projected their population to fall to 75 million where as ours would increase to 85 million.

Apparently what they needed was an influx of young, willing to work for cheap people... Mmmm but where do you just come across millions of young folk these days

The refugees who have made it from Syria to Germany will be the pick of the bunch as they clearly had the funds and the initiative to undertake the journey. These are skills that will benefit the German economy in the long term. That said, It is giving completely the wrong message to those still in refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey and may well result in more deaths at sea.

The UK are planning to take people from the refugee camps which in many ways is a better way to do it, but in other ways not so good (for the country generally). Those in the camps are probably those most in need and so yes we should be helping. I doubt though that these people will have as dramatically positive effect on our economy as those who have gone over sea and land to reach Germany.

Doesn't matter how much we do there will always be some moaning that we aren't doing enough.

Britain has contributed more than the whole of the rest of the EU put together in terms of monetary funding, over 900 million in aid given to help the refugees in other countries. Isn't it time the rest of the EU got their act together and contributed more in monetary funding to match us?

€11bn

Hammond and David Cameron argue that the solution to migration is to increase deportations. They believe this will save Britain money, as less cash will be spent on paying each asylum seeker £36.95 per week.

However, this strategy ignores the cost of deportations – whose alleged financial cost could rival that of the asylum seekers’ benefits bill. According to a series of investigations by the website The Migrant Files, as many as €11bn have been spent on repatriating migrants to their countries of origin since 2000.

A further billion has been blown on Europe-wide coordination efforts to secure European borders – money that could have been spent on integrating migrants into European society.

-76,439

Despite the hysteria, the number of refugees in the UK has actually fallen by 76,439 since 2011. That’s according to Britain’s Refugee Council, which crunched the numbers gleaned from UN data and found that the number of refugees in the UK fell from 193,600 to 117,161 in the past four years.

By comparison, the proportion of refugees housed by developing countries in the past 10 years has risen, according to the UN, from 70% to 86%.

Britain could be doing far more.

25,870

Contrary to the perception of the UK as the high altar of immigration, it is not a particularly major magnet for refugees. In 2014, just 25,870 people sought asylum in the UK, and only 10,050 were accepted. Germany (97275), France (68500), Sweden (39,905) and Italy (35,180) were all far more affected.

When the ratings are calculated as a proportion to population size, the UK slips even further down the table – behind Belgium, Holland and Austria. If the ratings were calculated on 2015 rates, then even impoverished Greece would rise above the UK in the table.

Just as tellingly, the UK has welcomed just 187 Syrians through legal mechanisms at the last count.

Turkey has around 1.6 million.

62%

Far from being propelled by economic migrants, this crisis is mostly about refugees.

The assumption by the likes of Hammond, May and others is that the majority of those trying to reach Europe are fleeing poverty, which is not considered by the international community as a good enough reason to move to another country. Whereas in fact, by the end of July, 62% of those who had reached Europe by boat this year were from Syria, Eritrea and Afghanistan, according to figures compiled by the UN.

These are countries torn apart by war, dictatorial oppression, and religious extremism – and, in Syria’s case, all three.

Their citizens almost always have the legal right to refuge in Europe. And if you add to the mix those coming from Darfur, Iraq, Somalia, and some parts of Nigeria – then the total proportion of migrants likely to qualify for asylum rises to well over 70%.

1%

If you read the British press, you’d think that Calais was the major battleground of the European migrant crisis, and that Britain was the holy grail of its protagonists.

In reality, the migrants at Calais account for as little as 1% of those who have arrived in Europe so far this year.

Estimates suggest that between 2,000-5,000 migrants have reached Calais, which is between 1% and 2.5% of the more than 200,000 who have landed in Italy and Greece. Just as importantly, there is no evidence to suggest that as many as seven in 10 have reached Britain after arriving in Calais.

The Daily Mail admitted this several paragraphs into its article.

0.027%

Hammond said that the migrants would speed the collapse of the European social order.

In reality, the number of migrants to have arrived so far this year (200,000) is so minuscule that it constitutes just 0.027% of Europe’s total population of 740 million.

The world’s wealthiest continent can easily handle such a comparatively small influx.

There is also economic migrant, which could be a refugee who refuses asylum in the first safe country they reach, and chooses to go to another country instead because they think the benefits are better there. (I would put the lorry jumpers in calais in that category).

It's a funny old world.

That's what kills me about uncle Sam. They have thousands and thousands of square miles they are not using. These people only require space, and a few amenities to start up on their own. They know how to farm etc, they don't need to be a burden, if that's what people are really scared of.

In fairness, there's little unused land in the USA that is productive.

They can do what they're doing here,build in between houses,knock down old colleges,pubs etc and build flats. "

There is thousands of square miles that's woodland, prairie or grassland.

Feed and clothe all the political refugees then give all the men a gun and the supplies they need, turn them round and sent them back to their own country to free that country from the persecution and oppression from which they flee.

The us takes about 70,000 a year through resettlement programs.

It used to be closer to 200,000 in the ninties bur times and public perception have changed.

Net migration according to latest figures is 330k a year, assuming it stays that way and doesn't rise (which would be highly unlikley)

330,000 x 5 = 1,650,000

I know we're talking about refugees people made the point that it's only 25k over 5 years but they're ignoring the several million who come along side them through other channels that put pressure on the system.

They can claim asylum in any country from Turkey. ..

For instance the little drowned boy we've been seeing everywhere lately as the "horror" of it all.

His father was taking the family to Europe because he couldn't afford to have his teeth fixed in Turkey but knew it would be provided for here.

The boy didn't drown fleeing war he died cause his parents were trying to avoid a 14k medical bill.

As a taxpayer, I don't care who benefits from the welfare system so long as they are deserving - Syrian, Iraqi or British. You could argue that refugees are more deserving as they have not had the same educational and employment opportunities as the British.

I could be talking complete shit here but for me, I think one of the roots of people's poor attitudes towards refugees stems from growing up in a developed country such as our own. People get a sense of entitlement due to the high standard of living those of us in a developed country have. They then fear it being taken away by people from third world countries who they consider have less of an entitlement, despite being torn from their home to due to war or whatever else.

We have to accept as one of the most developed countries in the world we have an obligation to act.

"Are you talking about refugees or immigrants ?

Well you know where I said, at the same time immigrant levels, and then continually referee to imigrants and people emigrating I thought that would be clear?

And no only about 150 thousand of them are from the EU.

one is running away from away, quite against ones will to avoid to get bomb, and the other choose to move in another country in order to get a better life...

it is not the same

But they are away from the bombs they second they step foot into turkey?

The crossing of Europe is purely to get a better life.

Or is there currently a war in France, Greece, Austria, hungry etc?

You'd think they'd mention half of Europe being a war zone on the news wouldn't you...

Can Turkey welcome all the refugees by itself ?

Did Turkey start the Syrian war ? I don't think so, French government with British and American started it

They can claim asylum in any country from Turkey. ..

For instance the little drowned boy we've been seeing everywhere lately as the "horror" of it all.

His father was taking the family to Europe because he couldn't afford to have his teeth fixed in Turkey but knew it would be provided for here.

The boy didn't drown fleeing war he died cause his parents were trying to avoid a 14k medical bill.

You don't know anything about what they are going through there... you read an article about it and you think that the guy but is family life's in danger to get his teeth fixed ?? reallly ???

The interview with his aunt in Canada where she says she couldn't afford to send him the 14k for the dentist bill so she and her father suggested he take his family to Europe where he could get treatment before moving on to Canada under her private sponsorship?

"Ok those seeking asylum are NOT eligible for social housing they will most likely until a decision has been made on their asylum application be placed in NASS accommodation....so immigrants will not take all our social housing

Facts are inconvenient things

Depends whos facts your reading

Indeed. I invite you to disprove any of what I've just written.

I neither want to disprove or prove them if im honest...what i do know is this country is far from full...these poor people need to escape to somewhere thats safe for them to live "

If everyone stands sleeping up shoulder to shoulder!

You can fit the entire population of Europe on the isle of Wight

Practically speaking it won't work very well!.

If you look on a real map of the world (not the shit you get from stock that most people have seen), you'll notice two things

The UK is nowhere near where you think it is!

And its fucking minute... I mean it's fucking tiny, it's like the smallest cock on fab!

You can put it three times over in most African countries!

You can put it ten times over into Brazil, you can put Brazil many times over into south America which is huge and you can put south America many times over into Africa!

Where have you got that from? I read from a number of quite reliable sources that the family left Kobane in June after 11 members of the same family were murdered by IS and they were in just one of the very many overcrowded hell hole refugee camps in Turkey.

The old Mark Twain quote always seems to rear its head when there are some numbers that people don't like. I've got to hold my hand up to using it myself from time to time.

However you are right to question the numbers because they are a bit dodgy.

While the figures for Romanians and Bulgarians stood at just over 50,000 the number of NI numbers issued to those nationals were nearly double that figure during the same period. So the 330,000 was a bit on the low side.

As for refugees and immigrants being mixed up. Of course they are, because they are mixed up at source.

Is a man fleeing from a safe country to the west to get his teeth fixed an immigrant or a refugee?

Sorry but what a load of bollocks "

Sorry but according to the guys sister (or maybe sister in law I forget which) who lives in Canada. He tried to tap her up for the money, she refused, and he was then convinced he could get it for free in the west.

I only watched the interview with her on German TV the other night. I believe she was on Sky news as well.

This is just an assumption.

Why are so many people in a Country with one of the lowest unemployment rates on housing lists anyway? We have a tendency to blame outsiders for our own hardships. It's nothing new and gets you no where other than the politics of hate. If people took more responsibility for their circumstances they would be more inclined to do something about it.

You'd think they'd mention half of Europe being a war zone on the news wouldn't you...

Can Turkey welcome all the refugees by itself ?

Did Turkey start the Syrian war ? I don't think so, French government with British and American started it

They can claim asylum in any country from Turkey. ..

For instance the little drowned boy we've been seeing everywhere lately as the "horror" of it all.

His father was taking the family to Europe because he couldn't afford to have his teeth fixed in Turkey but knew it would be provided for here.

The boy didn't drown fleeing war he died cause his parents were trying to avoid a 14k medical bill.

Sorry but what a load of bollocks

Sorry but according to the guys sister (or maybe sister in law I forget which) who lives in Canada. He tried to tap her up for the money, she refused, and he was then convinced he could get it for free in the west.

I only watched the interview with her on German TV the other night. I believe she was on Sky news as well."

OK, so never mind that the family escaped by the skin of their teeth from IS in Kobane after family victim number 11 was murdered. Never mind that they were living like dogs in an overcrowded refugee camp in Turkey alongside about 1,500,000 displaced people...

Let's focus on the really important stuff that is bound to get the tongues wagging... The Aunt in Canada funded their crossing into Europe so that a dentist could be found on the cheap?

Yes a story like that is bound to start heads rolling, vomit inducement and sheer terror in those whose fear of foreigners increases 100 fold if they have a different coloured skin and speak funny.

"Ok those seeking asylum are NOT eligible for social housing they will most likely until a decision has been made on their asylum application be placed in NASS accommodation....so immigrants will not take all our social housing

Facts are inconvenient things

Depends whos facts your reading

Indeed. I invite you to disprove any of what I've just written.

Facts.

Hitler was an artist with a like of still life watercolours

Hitler was tee total, didn't smoke and was vegetarian

Hitler was devoted to his dog

OR

Mother Theresa organised the mass genocide of millions (of mosquitos)

Some facts can be rather misleading

You're using knowledge the way a d*unk uses a lamp post - to hold you off the floor, rather than for illumination.

D"

I will admit it's a good quote.

Another one is

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit

Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad

"Are you talking about refugees or immigrants ?

Well you know where I said, at the same time immigrant levels, and then continually referee to imigrants and people emigrating I thought that would be clear?

And no only about 150 thousand of them are from the EU.

one is running away from away, quite against ones will to avoid to get bomb, and the other choose to move in another country in order to get a better life...

it is not the same

But they are away from the bombs they second they step foot into turkey?

"Ok... So all these 'refugees' arrive.... They jump the council house queue, they get everything given to them

This is just an assumption.

Why are so many people in a Country with one of the lowest unemployment rates on housing lists anyway? We have a tendency to blame outsiders for our own hardships. It's nothing new and gets you no where other than the politics of hate. If people took more responsibility for their circumstances they would be more inclined to do something about it. "

Because private rents are above people's affordability. The council housing stock is being sold off and ending up as private rented accommodation at double the rent of council rents and above. A 3 bed council house is £105 a week to rent,a private will be more than double that.

I used to think that the hysterical fear of the Poles, Czechs and Latvians was a bit of swivel eyed and delusional paranoia.

This fear now of people with brown skins as well as a different language is taking the irrational fear factor to a whole new level.

When did it happen that some people became so complacent with their comfortable lives that they want to restrict access to anyone who is seemingly undeserving simply because of an accident of birth. The excuses given are mind boggling...

They've got mobile phones

They should stay and fight

They are Muslims

They might be IS fighters

Whats wrong with Turkey

We dont want them here

The poor in this country will fortunately never be in fear of being beheaded for being the wrong religion, their children will never be prevented from going to school and their women folk never treated like dirt. The ignorance of some as to what is happening in Syria is appalling, especially considering that we have 24 hour news coverage!

I seem to recall that their was more sympathy in some quarters for Cecil the lion than for these innocent victims of a war so hideous that even we feel it better to conduct our fight by drones.

When I could not afford property where I used to live, I moved and worked hard to get a promotion at work to make it affordable. If I can't afford a 3 bed house then I won't have more than 2 children. If I sat there just blaming everyone, I won't have bothered and would be stuck in the same position or on a housing list. I appreciate I can lose my job and may require the safety net of welfare.

Unfortunately, for a lot of people it's not used for this purpose. It's seen as something they are entitled to because that's how their parents, grandparents ended up in their homes and then they have the cheek to say someone else is not entitled because they are a foreigner.

In the last fifty years it has been fairly common in UK for people to have been tortured and shot for their religion. It's been fairly common for schools to be closed because of violence. It's been commonplace for verbal abuse.

It's only when it might effect England that most of the English start to wail.

I used to live above an awful guy. Dealt drugs from his house, played music really loudly, and shagging his girlfriend loudly at all hours.

Later on I moved into a shared house through a letting agency. Two of my housemates dealt drugs from the premisis. My next door housemate would be up all night listening to music. The one across the landing used to argue with his girlfriend at all hours and once pushed her down the stairs.

When I was a child, someone turned up to the pub next door and shot someone.

Last month two men were arrested at the end of the road where I currently live for brandishing guns in the street.

You know what all those men had in common? They were all white, British men. Do I tar all white British men with the same Brush? Do I suggest that all white British men would not be good neighbours because I've had some poor experiences? No. Because that would be racist. And I'm not racist.

Ha e you seen the way the refugees are acting in Europe and France there were quite a few videos on the German news of them smashing the place up taking selfie and videos as they broke shop fronts down...

Whats your point? You cant take a small cross section of a group and then suggest they are all the same.

You would think they would be grateful that someone was helping them instead of smashing things up?

Just for a week stop buying your red top newspapers, watch the news, look at what's happening to make normal families leave everything they have.

Now consider the problems you have. How much worse would they have to be for you to consider doing the same thing.

Look again at some of the posts above (not singling any out) and see how easy it is to be blinkered, insular and narrow-minded.

We have some people with big problems and while we can't help everyone that doesn't mean we should help no-one.

The arms industry makes the bombs/planes etc... then sells them to these counties, They use them to control their own people/stop uprisings etc... Civil war breaks out, People flee for their own/family safety, The western countries go in to "help sort out the mess" armed by the arms industry when it's safe the people put in control of country are sold bombs/planes/ etc... and the cycle begins again
