Anyway, to lighten the mood a bit in a topical way, this made me laugh...

The protests were a few hundred people, lets call them horrible hate filled extremists, directly after the Danish cartoons were published. Saying this mob is representative of anything is like saying an EDL organised march is representative of Britain. Both equally revolting in my book.

Is it me, or is it weird that each handwritten placard appears to be in the same handwriting, especially the style of each 'E'...???

Well someone is going to have to explain this one to me!? The UK's biggest selling tabloids are the Mail and the Sun - leftist :moo: The UK's biggest selling broad sheets are the Telegraph and The Times - leftist :moo: The UK's biggest channel provider outside the BBC is SKY - leftist :moo...

What, they weren't all there!!?? News to me, the concourse looked pretty crowded....

'Some' Italians.

I'm glad someone saw the funny side.

How much more Tub, you and your flippant remarks about nurses being paid and valued more for the immeasurably tough and often stressful but ultimately fantastic job they do? I'd like a full salary and contract package breakdown please by lunchtime to include: pay grades and experience, pension...

Don't worry, I'm well aware of your fears having contributed to this thread for over a week.

No, you're worried that the 20,000 most vulnerable refugees we've agreed to take over 5 years are going to come into direct competition for social housing. I merely said that to start with, I suspect they'll be happy to be safe. I have no idea how to predict how long they'll stay, will they go...

We're currently taking the most vulnerable I think I'm right in saying, orphans, sick, injured, elderly etc. I suspect to start with at least, they'll just want to be safe.

Well finally, you realise I've asked you a question and you've tried to answer it. Regarding the refugee intake, have they stated the threats they cannot counter? I've honestly not seen anything to that effect, or is this your own conclusion? (again this is a question, not a point disguised as one).

Must have sold out of the Guardian that day then...

Really!!?? That is clearly what I said is it? You just jump from making one made up conclusion to the next. Would be hoping that MI5 and our security forces and agencies are keeping the government abreast of the risks and taking appropriate measures. Are you aware of risks beyond what they're...

The waiting lists are people that are housed, just not in a permanent property they can call their own. Councils provide housing through a variety of RSL's and the private sector, the private sector of course being expensive and not a long term solution. Housing refugees will not impact on the...

You know what, I've never once stated my opinion on our accepting of refugees on this thread. You and others (not everyone) continue to label everyone who disagrees with any of your individual points or opinion with the same brush, constantly trying to label people into convenient groups. So...

Would be hoping that MI5 and our security forces and agencies are keeping the government abreast of the risks and taking appropriate measures. Are you aware of risks beyond what they're presumably preparing for?

Like Catholics and Protestants. Don't remember them having extremists though...

Nothing like bumping a post...

You honestly didn't find that funny the suggestion of counting grammatical errors on your fingers!!?? I was quite pleased writing that one.
