Probably get deleted but what the hell. Just read we're spending £1 billion pound on economic migrants, sorry 'refugees', to bring them to the UK. Meanwhile we have homeless, hundreds of thousands of people living in poverty, nhs falling apart and already short of money, schools suffering a lack of places and funds and qualified teachers, lack of housing sending costs soaring, and here we are a tiny island taking thousands more.

Thank you to the media for using a picture of a boy to guilt trip everyone in Europe to accept them, even though the majority of these immigrants are young men who can't be arsed to fight for their country, to make it better and secure the future for their children, something our grand parents did. And rather than go to a safe Muslim country where they would integrate a lot better, with far less impact and cost, they're being settled here. Wouldn't be surprised if the referendum was cancelled, Merkel runs the UK so probably on the phone to Dave right now.

I have 2 young children and I'm terrified to see what sort of country they'll be growing up in, its all downhill from here.

    but didn't Dave originally say no? he changed his mind due to the actions and demands by the British public. I could blame him for many things but in his defense here he only agreed due to peer pressure from the people living here.

    I am with you, I agree totally with what you say, its just a shame that everyone here did not think of that when campaigning for us to take them.

    'JD' talked a lot of sense, if you want to label it 'racist' because you can't discuss it, or that you on a 'white-guilt' trip, fine.


    But, reality is - Saudi Arabia is not taking any!? The Gulf States are not taking any!? And guess what Kuwait aren't taking any either!?
    I hope I'm wrong on that but I haven't seen any news about any such offers.
    Now, I'm not aware of any other prosperous Muslim countries, where they would more easily adapt to.


    So far Germany is accepting them, I wonder how long for?


    How will you feel if they have a priority to housing, when someone in your family is already waiting ... ?

    Here is the nub of it. Last time, about 500 years ago, the islamists got to the gates of Vienna.

    If the EU [including the UK] does not pull together, we may not be worrying about a little migrant camp in Calais, it may be the whole of ISIS at the other end of the tunnel.

    When you see Turkey using the ISIS crisis as a pretext to bomb the Kurds back to the stone age and you look at the situation and see that the Kurds are about the only meaningful opposition to ISIS, you begin to wonder.

    I can see that Turkey is doing very little against ISIS and I am beginning to think that their mindset is to let ISIS gain a lot of territory and then take over the territory they have gained and effectively morph into a new Ottoman Empire.

    I am just amazed at how the people who are most scared of ISIS are the people who want to withdraw from the EU, because the EU is frankly all we have to keep ISIS away from our borders.

    So just to clarify if we withdraw from the EU you believe this will lead to the full occupation of Europe by ISIS and they will soon start to threaten our borders.

    I wonder if Dave will use this as a reason to vote we stay in? It would certainly spice up the campaign!
