Just like they did during the Holocaust. The quote from one leading Canadian politician at the time is "even one [Jew] is too many". We have learned nothing from history, humanistic progress is a myth.
It's downright fucking evil. The Worst Newspaper In London had it on their front page today that - horror of horrors - the Eurostar train that goes through the tunnel from the UK to France was being delayed and some services cancelled due to these.. people.. climbing on the roofs of the trains and hanging off the bottoms.
Plus there was a photo of some poor.. thing.. in the water somewhere trying to keep their infant above the water. Someone had seen it fit to digitally daub a religious head dress onto the woman's head so the photo might look more hateful.
I'm avoiding the news and that makes me feel like a shit.
The tragic desperation of humans received with zero compassion from most people

"“[em]Refugees are human resources, they have experience and skills,” the Icelandic letter reads.
“Refugees are our future spouses, best friends, or soulmates, the drummer for the band of our children, our next colleague, Miss Iceland in 2022, the carpenter who finally finished the bathroom, the cook in the cafeteria, the fireman, the computer genius, or the television host[/em].”
(aka getting humanity right)

Great editorial in the New York Times about my country's (Australia) shameful treatment of refugees.

As someone who is currently utterly ashamed to be Australian, it's great to see this being written about so scathingly in the international press.

Not that Britain has a great record regarding refugees, but my main beef with Australia's attitude is that IT'S A FUCKING EMPTY CONTINENT! There's loads of space.
A friend of mine is in Budapest, says shit is unreal.

But is there water enough to support lots more people?
Not defending Australia.
The solution to a world wide refugee crisis, that is going to get worse with global climate change, is [em]not[/em] to look for desolate locations to dump people.

I know I know it's a simplistic observation. Ideally the refugees wouldn't need to leave home...
