If the Master Race you crave was a reality, you'd be gassed first.

What a nice person you are.

I'm a ray of fking sunshine when a barely literate moron suggests that the solution to a refugee crisis, that involves 300 kids (disputable, granted - but the point still stands), is for a populace to retrospectively cease breeding.

Who's going to build the time machine when the bloke who's taken lead can barely string a sentence together, let alone grasp special relativity?

To be fair to him, he's come to similar conclusions as those of Thomas Malthus.

Great work, team!

And this is exactly what leaves me so baffled by the sentiment here.

Say we're talking three hundred blokes - mid 40s. Lets assume they're the least sympathetic type of bloke imaginable, bar being a criminal. Just odd, in an odd blokey kind of way, but, ultimately, harmless.

What's the problem?

Your assumption that they're harmless for one thing. They've already hopped borders and pretended to be decades younger than they actually are. Why wouldyou assume they are harmless?

[Jonesy23]

They're going to cost taxpayers a big pile of cash to import and keep. That's reason enough to say no.

'What's the problem?' I don't care what the problem is, I just know that currently it isn't my problem and there is no reason for that to change.

Feel free to keep advocating something that you don't think you'll have to deal with the consequences of but don't try to dump your guilt on people who disagree.

These are Syrian refugees, right?

Edit; what do you think of this?

Dump guilt?! I don't understand this, at all.

"I just know that currently it isn't my problem and there is no reason for that to change"

At least you're honest about how callous you are. Good for you.

Well we don't even know that much. They're Moroccan, Afghan, Somali and much else besides.

As for what I think of that story:

Firstly it's a propaganda piece by the Independent, so not very much. My cynicism is confirmed by the "research" apparently consisting of a bunch of pro migrant campaigners collecting anecdotes from illegal immigrants.

Secondly I think it's the tip of a very nasty iceberg which European politicians have sailed straight into on purpose.

No civilised and democratic country will long stand for thousands of people just showing up illegally and demanding to be housed, setting up camps where they like. France has a huge border and most of it is open. Set against the backdrop of Islamist terror attacks across the continent and especially in France, this is a recipe for disaster.

Of course it is unedifying to hear of police snatching blankets from people sleeping outside but unless the situation is properly controlled and managed at a political level it will get a lot worse and I suspect the eventual backlash will be much nastier.

That video is rubbish. The sensationalist bit about children in their 30's and face recognition technology? The "technology" was a phone app that's about as accurate at face recognition as Stevie Wonder and photos have also been proven to be questionable at best. Apart from that it's the video equivalent of the PH favourite phrase "how many will be staying at your house".

Paul Joseph Watson is a nasty, Islamophobic, misogynistic man. Anyone who finds themselves nodding along with his crudely edited videos, designed to allow ZERO time for you to digest what he is lying about, need to take a step back from the keyboard and go and play with some puppies, or sit and watch a sunset, or go litter picking.

Jesus wept.

[danllama]

The video is spot on.

Not giving you time to digest what he says? It's youtube, feel free to pause it at any moment.

So you have no problem with millionaire celebrities, with 100s of spare bedrooms between them, telling us that we should all do more whilst doing nothing themselves?
