World Refugee Day 20/6/2013

[Terpe]

I hope a large number of illegals, ,"asylum seekers", foreign criminals and other rubbish are being shipped out today.

As do I .... in general.

But World Refugee Day principles represent something slightly different in my view.

....Show me the famine, show me the frail
Eyes with no future that show how we failed
And I'll show you the children with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or I.
Show me the country where bombs had to fall,
Show me the ruins of buildings once so tall,
And I'll show you a young land with so many reasons why
There but for fortune, go you or go I

I hope some will at least take a look at this link - World Refugee Day June 20, 2013

There's real misery in this world and we all owe it to ourselves to acknowledge that and do something.

Good post, Terpe. That's exactly what World Refugee Day is all about.

It's a shame that some on here have tried to hijack it in order to spout the usual immigration stuff.

Are you not unduly fussed about dangerous pieces of filth like #14 being in the back of untold trucks coming into the country ?

Yes, I am. But I am much, much, much more fussed about the huge refugee crisis in Syria. Raising awareness about this is what World Refugee Day is about.

It's a shame that the Daily Mail don't give as much coverage to this humanitarian crisis.

There are numerous charity boxes you can utilise to salve your conscience. As far as I'm concerned this country has done more than its fair share for refugees from today's so called "asylum seekers" aka economic migrants going back to the Huguenots, enough is enough.

I'll scour tomorrows Guardian for blanket coverage of germ #14 above, if we're lucky they might even have a pull out supplement on the benefits uncontrolled immigration has brought to the UK.
