Bob Geldof

[Sammy48]

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

I feel a song coming on.

[gness]

Oh lord.....I'm talking about Shoota!!!! Sorry Dive....will now unreport you....unless you are suspended before they see my unreport....in which caseI will start a campaign to get you back.....☺

[ummmm]

She was an adult with two children. There is a point where parents are no longer responsible for their children's actions.

Weird...INXS tune has just come on.

[gness]

Oh I shouldn't laugh really....but this is the one time I'd like to have seen Dive's face.......Maybe I will open a bottle.....☺

[ummmm]

Gness...I laughed out loud...did you forget what the title of the thread was? :-)

[gness]

Ummmm....can I ask that you speed your responses up a bit please.....I really thought you were on about Shoota......and now I've given DB more ammunition..... ;-)

[ummmm]

I'll try. I was watching a film about Harvey Milk...a gay activist in America who was assassinated...

[gness]

Yes....I forgot it wasn't ChatterBank......and that's where I usually banter about....

Easily seen how rumours start......poor Shoota....☺

[gness]

And I'm knitting a Twiddle Muff for a person with dementia.....perhaps I should make two..... :-(

[gness]

You'd have to be pretty fit to overcome my belief about men who shoot things.....have I mentioned that?....x

Now I am going to bed before I cause any more damage.....Lord...when the Eds get in and see I have sent one report and two emails.....hmmmm maybe I'll have a duvet day tomorrow....x

[ummmm]

Lol...night night...x

@gness l m a o :)
@ ummmm....I gave up on that film halfway through :(

x x

[ummmm]

I quite liked it but probably because I'd never heard of him before.

[Bathsheba]

Neither had I.
We've got Zodiac from Lovefilm to watch....have you seen that? x x

[ummmm]

No...I don't often watch films even though we have the Amazon film thingy and Netflix...

[Bathsheba]

Oh well, not to worry,....I'll probably sleep through it anyway ;)
Nite x x

gness, reporting unnecessarily is puerile – and adding little kisses and hearts at the end of your sarcastic comments to people who disagree with you, as you often do, doesn’t make those comments any less sour. To the observant you are unwittingly transparent.

I wish people wouldn't put words into my mouth !

I have never, ever said that we should take every single person fleeing the war zone that is Syria.

What I have said that we should offer asylum to more refugees that we do at the moment. Indeed, dave has now come around to my view on this.
And I am quite willing to give him my support on this issue.

There appears to be many councils in Britain that are willing to offer sanctuary.

To continue to make personal comments about me on AB is just stupid and offensive. the rudeness from some people is also uncalled for. I am not the only one on AB that thinks that a better humanitarian response is needed, but to read some people here on AB, the Usual Suspects, you might be forgiven to think differently. I am not in a position to take refugees into my home but I am quite willing to donate money to help the situation. I agree with Gness here...Whatever we think of Geldof, at least he is doing something, not just carping and jeering from the sidelines

Europe has a whole, need to do more to help in what is the biggest refugee crisis since the end of WW2. Not just Europe. America has remained strangely silent in the last few weeks. They and other countries world-wide could do considerably more than hey are at present. The New World is populated almost entirely by immigration.

There is no point in burying our heads in the sand. As long as this dreadful war is going on in the middle east, refugees are going to continue to flee for their lives.

I think his heart is in the right place but it does seem to overrule his head on occasion.

OG ...Geldof is a wealthy man, with the highest of ideals. If he wants to spend some of his money helping refugee families, then more good fir him.
If I were as wealthy, I hope I would be doing the same. The sour comments were nasty, childish and uncalled for as I am sure you will agree.
