You remember that scene in 'Life of Brian' where Brian is about to be crucified and the young woman is imploring the group to take action but they refuse because they must first call an emergency meeting and pass a motion?

Endangering the greenbelt for example. :whistle:

They should hopefully but your implication seems to be that if they are not shared out fairly you're not playing. Am I right? If not, why keep banging on about it?

Pah, its gone down the tubes anyway.

Concrete on the greenbelt you say? Good gracious no, suddenly all those people drowning doesn't seem so bad.

Why, what difference does it make? Are you going to spit the dummy if not everyone shares nicely? Do you think Asia is as able to help? Do you not think the onus should be on the wealthiest countries in the world?

Are you seriously expecting fans on a forum to come up with a strategy for dealing with refugees? While you procrastinate, people are dying. I'm not saying we shouldn't plan, of course we should but action is needed now. Life is all about risk, let them in. What's the worst that could happen...

Are we really at bursting point or do the Daily Mail claim we are? Who said we should take 800,000? All applications should be vetted and non-refugees identified.

and include... 'Raj in the corner shop is a good friend of mine'

Well I'm sure you are tough enough to take the flack... let's hear it.

So if some refuse to take a share we refuse ours?

Like a naive lefty do-good-er you mean?

Fair comment... but is there time?

I don't know what the answer is Nick, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't happen. There will be a way and it is up to those elected to make these decisions to ensure that it is found.

Which cities are these? Coventry?

Yes you are right of course... I imagine it is beyond the wit of anyone in the UK to find a way to provide safety, food and shelter for some desperate people, let's just forget it.

Drama alert! But wait... could there be any empty property anywhere?

There is a reason for that.

I am no expert but I assume there is a procedure in place for providing for asylum seekers, they are not the first! (or they could stay at your house)

Well I hope they are suggesting that we put pressure on the government to act and take as many in as we can.
