The UK gives it 10m in aid for water treatment facilities in the country, and in return, Thames Water UK gets a contract, to build it, run it and maintain it for 15-20 years, which in turn generates around 1-2bn for Thames Water. No one gets anything for free in Capitalism, there is always strings attached. "One Nation Under God, has turned into One Nation Under the Influence of One Drug" [Link]

I must have misunderstood all this. But isn't this all about the Dub's agreement, whereby we take child refugees from Europe? Where they already have safety from the constant tyranny of oppressors/war. Nothing to do with taking in genuine refugees directly from war-torn/oppressive countries. I'm getting on a bit, so maybe I have it all wrong. Systematically dragged down by the lawmakers

Originally posted by Herts_CPFC Limiting and controlling the amount of refugees/immigrants we are able to absorb has nothing to do with contravening British values at all. I'm glad our government is showing a bit of backbone and we've got the channel as some kind of buffer zone from the madness going on in Europe. 'Madness going on in Europe'? The only 'madness' I've seen is that of British citizens being hoodwinked and lied to simply to get votes. I've continually lived in several EU countries over the last 25 years and never seen any 'madness' that you seem so convinced about. What I do see when I visit the UK are many bitter and twisted British people who can't seem to accept that others (non British) doing a generally better job at living and working in the UK than themselves. Life in most EU countries has been and is going on just fine contrary to what you read in much of the British media. The UK has been and is doing a very good job on itself at insuring in falls behind most EU countries in terms of quality of life and a future for its younger generations. If it stopped continually pointing fingers at others and finally admitted it has got a lot wrong in its society and long term economy through its own doings, it could start to move forward again. However, with recent events that doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime in the short to mid-term time frame.
