I’m guessing not from the newcastle fans

Judging from his pic I would say he was Scottish

(it’s a gift I know)

Have you ever seen a town boycott a breakfast cereal because of a rival manager. Probably a little less tense fan wise this time because of the reaction of the Sunderland fans to the deaths of the Newcastle supporters who died in the aircraft shot down basically by the russians as good as.
Still 3-0 and all that and six in a row

There isnt a solution thats good for everyone I guess

So given their humanitarian needs do we house them ahead of others ?

The true number of young people who are homeless far exceeds government figures, according to a major new study by housing experts at Cambridge University being released on Monday.

Some 83,000 homeless young people have had to rely on councils and charities for a roof over their heads during the past year – more than three times the 26,852 young people recorded in homeless figures released by the Department for Communities and Local Government. And there are about 35,000 young people in homeless accommodation at any one time across Britain.

Government statistics show 2,714 people slept rough in England on any one night during 2014 – a 55 per cent rise on 2010
Local agencies report 7,581 people slept rough in London alone throughout 2014/15 – A 16 per cent rise on the previous year, and more than double the figure of 3,673 in 2009/10

What about those ?

There is but one football match that matters on today, THE derby, perhaps the most fierce rivalry in England and I for one am worried as hell

And if there was a referendum asking do we open our borders to unlimited numbers of refugees I wonder what the answer would be. I think a resounding NO.
The issue is (as I see it) harbouring the refugees from war and terror safely, until such time as they can be safely returned to their own country, if that time never comes then we have to deal with that differently.
What I would object to is the welcome, here’s a house, here’s benefits, here’s free NHS treatment to which you’ve had no input. If the temporary camps were in this country so be it but they should, at least in the short term, be thought of as temporary. Once the refugees are safe then deal with the political situation.
Trouble there is Assad and the Russians are now best buddies so any thoughts of a democracy in Syria are fucked (as they would be if it was Assad and the U.S. as bestest buds). It’s about points scoring now I fear, and posturing.

Putting 100,000 people lets say, into any country is a drain on that country economically at least. Do we just give them housing ? And that isn’t taking away from people in any country’s needs ? Do we give them all benefits when we’re cutting benefits left right and centre. Do we give them all NHS treatment when the NHS is already at breaking point. And the people of that country are going to say “fine we don’t mind”.
And these economic views are just that, views, unproven theories if you like

Comparative Advantage Definition
The ability of a firm or individual to produce goods and/or services at a lower opportunity cost than other firms or individuals. A comparative advantage gives a company the ability to sell goods and services at a lower price than its competitors and realize stronger sales margins.

Simply reads to me as cheap labour.. the less a firm can pay in wages the better the advantage over other firms

I’d argue again that we should be first improving conditions where the refugees have already getting out of Syria e.g. in Lesbos, then perhaps they wouldn’t be sitting on rail tracks trying to stop trains and jumping on boats to get elsewhere given they’ve already flown a war zone. The international community could then look at removing more refugees safely to these “enclaves” then we can deal with the tricky permanent relocation
