I hold firm to my principles yes. I don't push myself forward in sanctimony. I take it after you have written that then you are taking in a child refugee? This country provides considerable help to those that it holds no responsibility for. I'm proud to be apart of that. By your comments, you evidently should be doing more. No but strangely I wouldn't mind some other loving wannabe parents giving a home to a little kid. Isn't that ridiculous?

no terror attacks since 1995 that's 20 + years. Granted they have less of an issue now and Islamist terrorism is unheard of. Of course, if you went back to the 70s to early 2000, Japan had massive problems with domestic terrorism whilst the UK had no problems with Islamist terrorism. Also I think in 2002 there was a murder of an MP for political reasons.

Eugh! My stomach turns at the immorality of your collective view. Truly disgusting. 30,000 i could almost see your view. However, 3000 kids you could introduce into one london borough and barely notice it. Seriously, your view echos those who were vigorously opposed to taking in jewish refugee children before the war. Vile. You can get something at the chemist for that. It is remarkable how often one can repeat the reason behind an opinion only to be ignored and receive some emotive nonsense or criticism in return. It's like one wants children to suffer.

But we aren't helping ourselves. We are leaving millions of people in refugee camps and detention centres where resentment to us in the West is rising every day. We are continuing our policies in the Middle East (supporting the Saudis, bombing Libya and Syria, selling weapons to whoever wants them) which are exacerbating the problem. How is this helping you and me mate? It's making us less safe, all while threatening the lives of millions who, like you say, shouldn't even have anything to do with our lives. The only people it's benefitting is the people selling the weapons in our society, the politicians and the f*cking corpocrats. You say Islam is 500 years behind Christianity. You realise you're talking about a Chruch which may well excommunicate their Pope for heresy, because he dares challenge their views on abortion and homosexuality? Islam for most of history has been way ahead of Christianity. It produced great astronomical findings while we were convinced that the sun went round the earth. The Ottoman Empire legalised homosexuality while we were still killing people who were gay! We can't do sh*t about people's religion. We can do something about helping the poor and needy in the world, as Jesus correctly said. As it is, we are walking on the other side of the road because we aren't brave enough to help. It won't end well. A mixture of emotive hyperbolic statements and half truths. Edited by Stirlingsays (04 Nov 2017 3.45pm)

You wrote a lot of emotional sanctimony but the upshot is that you won't take in a child yourself. So in practical affect what have you done towards this issue that justifies your scorn? As I say, I support your right to live by your personal principles.

This may interest you from a few years back. "Figures reveal just one of every eight couples or individuals who try to adopt are approved by social workers Daily *spit* Mail. Something is fundamentally flawed.

In the system about 7.5% of kids in care are actually up for adoption. This may interest you from a few years back. "Figures reveal just one of every eight couples or individuals who try to adopt are approved by social workers Daily *spit* Mail. Something is fundamentally flawed. Sure is, a foster couple had children removed from their care when it was found that they voted for UKIP. Vote for a crypto-communist party? Fine, have half a dozen.

MPs vote for such things as we are talking about. They aren't all going to take in a child refugee the ones who say 'aye', are they? Does that make them hypocritical or more humanitarian? Opening doors for others. Such a shallow and thoughtless action. We are too old to adopt and too bogged down but I don't believe our unsuitability should hinder those who have the desire, energy and inclination. Another daft principle you can chew on.
