Comment on NHS staff who visit patients at home say St George’s flags can mean ‘no-go zones’
Flax_vert@feddit.uk 11 hours agoIt’s not complex. As a nation we have always depended on immigration.
That’s an Americanism. Immigration from one country to another is generally accepted, eg, between european countries. The issues are people “fleeing war” from Afghanistan and where do they settle. Pakistan? No. Turkiye? No. They have to make it to the UK for some strange reason.
I’m actually pro letting Afghans in who helped our nation and may face persecution under the taliban. The people coming in on small boats aren’t honest people. The honest people migrate legally as they respect our laws.

You are inventing divisions where non existent.
For starters there is absolutely no law or history where war refugees are required to settle in the first safe nation. Much the opposite the Geneva convention makes it illegal to use access or distance to limit the movement of refugees. This is specifically their as forcing nations nearest a war zone to accept refugees would increase the odds of the war spreading into their borders.
As for the difference between EU and refugees. Given the whole Brexit history that is an utterly dumb complaint. It has absolutely no marit in this debate as the flag was specifically used to argue against all type of immigration in recent times.

The law should be changed. It didn’t account for a people smuggling industry. Why would you want a war to spread to the UK?

The law should be changed because you have fallen for right wing bull crap.
The law was created in the 1950s with the UK as a major proponent of that law. Yet we have had 0 wars on UK soil since then.
Where as nations bordering wars have had multiple wars expand into their territory as refugees run to escape. Seriously, you seem totally unable to base any of your arguments on facts or logic. But just emotional rubbish pushed by right wing lies and folks fighting for fascism.

Turkiye has been fine for Syrian refugees, the war didn’t carry over into there. If the war expands, run further there.
There is no right-wing bull crap. If you pay someone to get you to another country illegally, you have already shown you don’t respect the law. Someone who gets on a boat on the English channel isn’t a good person 99% of the time. They’re selfish. They don’t desperately need to go to England.
