Bob Geldof

[Sammy48]

says he will take 4 refugee families to live in his homes.

I feel a song coming on.

Good for Mr Geldof....as well as putting actions where his mouth is he'll give sour people the opportunity to have a go at him and Mikey into the bargain.....win all round.....♣

Are people 'sour' because they have a different opinion to you then ?

"Good for Mr Geldof....as well as putting actions where his mouth is he'll give sour people the opportunity to have a go at him and Mikey into the bargain.....win all round.....♣ "

Funnily enough I was thinking the same thing.

[jno]

ditto here.

[gness]

No, Chap......that's a very weak statement from you.
My opinions are often different to the masses.....surely you know that by now.

The sourness is shown in their response to someone doing something positive to help in an impossible and dire situation.....

"Good on you for trying to do something"....would be a nice response.

[chaptazbru2]

I don't think my statement is weak at all, I think it's a good one. I fail to see how we can keep letting endless people into the country, it's just not feasible and you can respond how you like, just as I will. And if you think that's 'sour' so be it, I don't really care ! They will still be using our over stretched NHS, schools, need housing eventually etc etc etc.

[gness]

Did I say your view was sour?

I said people's RESPONSE to Bob Geldof's offer was sour.

[ichkeria]

Yes there are enough opportunities for people to let off steam about migrants etc so it seems a shame that even that the bile extends even here

[gness]

I know, Ich......my post was referring to the attitude towards Mr Geldof.... and why bring in Mikey....nothing to do with whether or not we should open our doors to everyone asking.

Nobody on here knows my view on this crisis....my opinion has nothing to do with my post but it shows how quickly folk assume and jump.

I could house 400 families if council planners let me cover green belt with hi-rise flats

[trt]

If people having to pay bedroom tax, take in a refuge, will it stop?

[TTG]

Don't have a problem with this as long as he pays for their upkeep.

[naomi24]

I don't think people are necessarily being sour - just realistic. I doubt very much that Bob is offering to 'share' his house with immigrants as most of us would have to do if we took them in. He can afford to live elsewhere.

[gness]

Can't resist posting this....yes a different crisis.....but what can be done by one man who doesn't have a sour..yes sour, Naomi.....heart...x
