I'm guessing the herrenvolk are getting sick of the refugee situation.....

Naomi....(14:03)...read what Mamy has to say....as usual, she has hit the nail on the head, and in much less words that I would have used.

[naomi24]

Mikey, don't duck down behind other people. Answer my post at 14.03 which was addressed directly to you.

[mikey4444]

Naomi...I have answered your post, many times before.

Of course mass immigration is calling a problem in some countries, but it doesn't excuse what happened in Bautzen, and that is why I am addressing Chilli's thread, as Mamy has done.

But just like Trump, you refuse to condemn this as well.

As I said...get off that fence.

It seems it's so easy to shout 'Racist' when you lack any form of coherent argument to back up your largely uninformed opinion.

[naomi24]

Mikey, I haven't posted that 'many times before'.

[viv41]

I wouldn't say for one second that Naomi is on the fence !

You never even acknowledge the threads regarding migration or Islam, mikey never mind answer any questions on the subject.


Have you decided on the Tommy Robinson/radical Muslim poser yet?

[andy-hughes]

Let's not gang up on one AB'er shall we?

That's how threads go of piste, rapidly followed by going off-site!

Some of the comments are getting quite sharp, so can we play nicely?

[-Talbot-]

I don't run with any 'gang' andy, you are out of order!

I am not speaking on behalf of anyone but myself Andy.
Thank you for your input though.

Who is the one that is being 'ganged up on'?

But whoever it is, it happens all the time in debate, especially if one holds an opinion that others don't agree with.

i have been 'ganged up on' on more than one occasion, as have you, also mikey and sp.

[naomi24]

andy-hughes, // Let's not gang up on one AB'er shall we? //

Utterly misplaced comments like that are what's likely to send threads off piste. As I type, five responses to it - so for the first time the thread is now off piste. Incidentally, I'm in no gangs.

Now can we please get back to the subject?

Thank you.

Mikey, I don't condone arson, but as I've already said I can understand why the people watching were cheering.

[jourdain2]

No-one condones arson, but no-one was hurt and a point has been made.

If no notice is taken then I fear that the next reaction might be more like 'Kristallnacht'. You cannot expect a people to stand by as they are 'invaded'. It's a question of numbers. Germany would have welcomed possibly a couple of thousand genuine refugees, now they feel genuinely threatened.

This has to be sorted once & for all, there will be riots, there will be people getting hurt, the arrived by boat, send them back by the ship load, I waiting for a few to say heartless Bsd, not heartless at all, they way things are going there are going to be deaths, sever Injuries, It's not up to the UK to sort it out, these people are in France / Germany / Greece, let them sort out returning these people before their own Country looses their Identity.

[agchristie]

TWR > It's not up to the UK to sort it out,

It certainly hasn't helped with Frau Merkel's exuberant and ill-conceived 'welcome' policy which to many has caused a disrespect of German culture. The sexual attacks on women hasn't helped either. The depth of feeling is swelling and this animosity could severely escalate.

That said, this is a growing international situation of which there is a complete lack of harmony. You have Turkey now bursting at the seams requiring support and nations almost working in silo and not harmony.

Yes, it is not the UK's problem but it is everybody's problem.

[TWR]

It maybe everybody's problem Chris, but's it's in France / Germany / Greece & as you say Turkey, these people will kill their tourist trade, never mind pussy footing, they need to sort it, and yes, Merkle has dropped a bolk and she knows it, it's no use closing the gate when the cows have gone out of the field.

[agchristie]

TWR - we know the symptoms but how the hell is this malaise going to be treated?

It's a tap that won't turn off....
