European Migrant Crisis

The European Parliament has come up with a plan to help
stop the migrants from Africa and Asia from getting into
Europe.

They are planning to give European visas to all citizens of
Turkey, if their goverment stops allowing migrants through
the country and into Europe.

There are 75 Million people in Turkey, that is a lot more than
the numbers of migrants trying to get in, who in my opinion
will keep on trying till they find another route.

How crazy is this plan?

Story Here.

Mike.
 

My problem is that I fail to understand why folks are attempting to leave their country, presumably for an extended period of time if not forever, because of civil war and/or other strife. After all, two World Wars were fought, during which such migrations did not, I think, occur. imp
 
The plan IS crazy Mike.
And of course once they have those Visas.
England here we come, as per this little bit out of that newspaper article.


Britain faces the spectre of another wave of mass migration after Brussels bureaucrats opened the gates of Europe to Turkey's 75million citizens.
Plans to allow Turks access to EU visas – in exchange for their country's help with the Syrian migration crisis – were branded as 'bordering on insanity' last night. Ukip leader Nigel Farage warned the deal – a possible precursor to Turkey becoming a full EU member – could result in even more pressure on UK schools and hospitals.

"How crazy is this plan?"

They're simply pre-empting Turkey's admission to the EU, a process which is well under way.

Under Schengen they will have free movement anyway.

And this is EXACTLY why the UK needs to vote for OUT of the EU Laurie.
That is the only way the UK can take control of it's borders.
The EU demands the free movement of all who live inside the EU.
So the attitude is...get your backside into any European Country, get yourself logged in, and in millions of cases...
England here we come!:mad::cool:
 
"And this is EXACTLY why the UK needs to vote for OUT of the EU Laurie."

Well, not EXACTLY.

There are other very cogent reasons too, though I agree that migrants should influence our decision.

The danger is letting xenophobia influence our views to the exclusion of all else.

Yes Laurie.
You know what I mean, and I agree with your comment in bold there.
 
If all of these migrants were refugees it would be
understandable.

Unfortunately 3/4 of them are economic migrants
looking for a better life, they come from countries
that are not at war.

A few weeks ago some Syrians on the move were
interviewed and they said that most are from other
places but claiming to be Syrian although they speak
different kinds of Arabic.

Booze, nice of you to let Mike in as I see the Welsh let you in.

There are 400-500,000 English living in Scotland out of a population of 5 million. We were very generous to let them in. However, if it wasn't for them all voting No we'd have won independence.

Oooooohhhhh Ameriscot, that's a bit below the belt!
Your tongue in gonna cut your throat one of these days!:playful:

Regarding Independence. I wish you all the best of luck with that!
I mean, for your little country, you will need all of the luck you can get outside of our comforting bubble.
You won't have all of the money us brits shower on you, and your oil won't last forever.
Be very careful what you wish for!!!:cool:
 
Hmm, whatever "problems" an independent Scotland might or might not have, at least the electorate wouldn't follow a leader who promised to ban the teaching of climate change in schools. Now that is a bubble for sure. Lol.

If I could I would BAN all mention of so called climate change on the BBC, in newspapers and in Schools and all media.

Climate change has ALWAYS happened well before us lot came around, and always will.

But climate change caused by Man?
My arse!
