Refugees Welcome?

So you can't? Alt-righter has no substance shock.

I called you a bigot as your first reply to me was another unfounded and incorrect assumption.

If you actually try engaging people in discussion, instead of telling them how they think, they may not respond in kind.

I am sure he was a genuine refugee?
We cannot close borders, that is just not practical but we do have to look at the risk factors in allowing young people from war zones who may have the inclination to attack us one day.

That's the beauty of politics though. If you are a lefty/ liberal, blissfully ignorant etc you will see it as right wing, anti liberal and vice Versa.

More insults, no substance.

Going off the 2016 figure, 39,000 refugees applied for asylum in the UK.
The terror attacks on the UK for the most part were carried out by British born nationals, so these two arrests on refugees is far from the norm.
In the last 10yrs if 39,000 refugees came to the UK and 30% (based on the average over the years) were granted asylum, that gives 117,000 refugees granted leave to remain in the UK officially.

That means these two arrests account for 1 in 58,500.

You might consider that a 'high' risk, but then perceptions are what they are.

Just bants mate. Just bants. Try to be more thick skinned and take less offence.

Bloody Snowflakes.

And if you're not an idiot you see it as it is.

Your level of defensiveness is telling.

No that's the individual's opinion. My opinion being the left can't really banter when it comes to politics.
