    I think we identify the people who divide us and kill them.

    Well, if I were destitute, or even thought I could make a better life for my family by moving legally between countries, I would do it.

    We have many British nationals moving to other countries to work, so I don't see the problem. There should obviously be some kind of limit on how many people can be accommodated, and that needs to be linked to jobs, so free movement is too liberal at this point. Every country has a limit to how many people that can be supported by it's infrastructure......that said, wealth distribution doesn't exactly lend it's hand to allowing more people to benefit from our country.

    Then there's people seeking asylum, and we should do whatever is in our power to accommodate them. Full stop.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    It sounds like we aren't really doing our bit, but we do have quite a high population density and a problem with affordable housing.
    I don't know if we, 'the West', can do something about the problems which is causing them all to flee, although knowing us we probably caused it in the first place.

    Can they play DM?
    NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

    Saw the Channel 4 news at 7 last night, I don't think I've been as stunned by something seen on TV since 9/11, the sight of a dead 3 year old child face down on the sand may well haunt me forever more, but I can't help thinking it was just another, albeit brutal, ploy by the media to try manipulate public opinion, maybe we're just too soft in the UK but I'm not sure I'm ready for the sight of dead children at teatime.
