What is wrong with people? Scum!

I agree it is totally fixed so tonights result will be interesting indeed

Ukraine have never been friends of Poland! They were worse than Germans murdering Polish people, I think you need to catch up on your history Bob, you couldn't be further from the truth! First cousins for Poland are Czech and Hungary who share the same values and culture. 

I concur with Colin besides countries should be proud of their identity and culture and should protect it, just because Poland is part of the EU they should not be forced to take anyone, it should be by invitation. Poland have taken their fair share of migrants from the Ukraine already and these people share the same beliefs and culture, which is the best way forward. Some groups of people do not want to integrate into Western culture and are far better off living in the countries that share their beliefs and religions instead of going into Western countries and trying to force their ways upon that country. GB has lost her identity in my view at least when you are in Hungary or Poland you know you are in those countries, go to Bradford, Birmingham and London and you could be in Pakistan, Iraq, India...

I read an article yesterday advising people in German not to cook pork on bbq's in some public area's so as not to offend local Muslims, what's that all about! 

Another article here and here

They make a wicked pizza so a big welcome to the city from me.

Good luck 

I wonder how many will be refused.. I guess this is open to anyone to apply, Colin apply for two salt bins lol 

A little flutter on The Druids Nephew for me.

Good luck at Wembley

Nothing surprises me about the parish council to be honest. A legit request for a low cost bin to make the roads just that bit safer is basically rejected. I will have a troll through the minutes too and see where they spend their our money if not on sensible requests like this. Why was this no given the go ahead can one of the local Councillors please throw some light own this please?

Maybe the driver never realised that the Market had moved... lol hope nobody was hurt.

Credit where credit is due, can't fault the guy for his efforts within the community. 

Well done good effort by all involved 

Hopefully there will be a law by then to assess weather I am fit to drive rather than deciding that for myself

I agree Jon. There should be a mandatory test at a set age for all drivers, airline pilots are tested regular, I appreciate they are responsible for many many passengers but ultimately someone driving dangerously at the wheel of a vehicle could could potentially cause a major accident too. People could be tested at 60 then every 3-5 years.

I noticed this comment on the HV Facebook Page

I stopped using asda walk in a long time ago . I always use Taurus healthcare a fantastic service. Sadly not alot of people don't know about it. Still it would be sad to see it go. Especially for those that use it during the day instead of own docs.x

 

I did not say that did? What I said was Club 18-30 is designed for drink and fun holidays! I never suggested or stated that it was fine for ( us? )people to go to a foreign country, abuse the hospitality, break their laws and disrespect their culture, so actually you have misrepresented what I said 100% to suit your own agenda. Please show me where I said that?

 

Equally, you could apply your description to many refugees, it is okay for some to disrespect western culture and abuse their sponsored countries  hospitality, which has been widely publicised.  

 

You are trying so hard to find an argument and you have resorted to misrepresenting my words as it is the only way you feel you can win yet another argument with someone (of the majority) of people who clearly don't share your views. Happy to continue debating with you but at least try to avoid putting words in people's mouths.

I cannot find where you said what dippy has claimed you said either Adrian. 

The same reason a disabled person parks in a disabled bay and has a blue badge! Quite happy to do that though aren't they!

 

It is to help identify them.  Help is being offered to these people and complaints about a poxy wristband, unreal, the world has gone mad it really has!

I agree, surprised that they are complaining about wristbands, they will be refusing to be served by western woman next, the majority already have no respect for western woman. 

Good evening.

 

Well....Surprise, surprise....I completely disagree with Katie Hopkins.... self appointed "voice of the people". (She certainly does not speak for me.)

 

Her only purpose is to come out with 'controversial' statements, which she knows will be reported. This then feeds her addiction for media coverage.

 

A very sad individual.

 

Why should a refugee have to wear a wristband, which is the equivalent of having a sign around their neck stating "I am a refugee"??

 

It surely can't have escaped your attention, but there is hostility in some sections of the community towards helping refugees, and the wearing of a wristband just makes it easier for them to be targeted!

 

Personally, I'd like to see Katie Hopkins arrival anywhere, heralded by a large fog horn.That way, folks have a chance to avoid her, and not have to listen to the sanctimonious, divisive clap trap that she comes out with.

 

Truly, the woman is an embarrassment .

Personally i cannot stand katie hopkins but I think she has a valid point here. Just my two pence worth

Evening Frank, figures from Save The Children estimate there are well over 5000 unaccompanied children currently in camps across Europe... so not just Calais by any means.

 

These kids are sitting ducks for the worst sort of predators; many may have already been lost. As a parent and a human, this breaks my heart.

 

As Osmosis pointed out, the majority are orphans in all probability.

 

They are in desperate need. 

Good evening dippy, it breaks my heart too. Germany have taken over 1 million refugees and over 69% are single male adults! 18% are children and 13% female adults, surely the priority should of been these children? 

No, they've reached the EU, now the International Development committee is recommending that we take 3000. Many of them will have been orphaned en route.

No, they have reached Calais! Which means they have gone through many other countries, well it does in my atlas. 

Good to see the recommendations from The International Development Committee being discussed on Channel 4 news this evening.

 

The main recommendation being that the UK should take 3000 unaccompanied children, who have currently made their way alone to Europe. I truly hope these recommendations are accepted, and we can welcome these children, and give them safe haven.

 

I also hope that the decision is made sooner rather than later. It's almost three weeks since this was first mentioned - I posted about this on January 5th - these vulnerable youngsters need help now.

 

All these unaccompanied children have walked hundreds of miles through many other EU countries (And have gone un-noticed by these other Countries) all heading to the UK? Why? When they could of stopped walking a long time back. 

Err, yes Frank!

 

Hence posts 26 and 28 above!

 

I'm always happy to hold my hands up if I've made an error in judgement!

 

As I said, giving 'whoever' the benefit of the doubt, was perhaps not the wisest decision!

There are some strange people around dippy. If they are picking on you and HV they are leaving others alone. I am sure there are lots of different users over at the HT.

I honestly don't think this is a conspiracy!

Changed your view yet? 

I agree with Bill, it is not what it used to be. No moderators in place almost a free for all. They just delete posts that are reported.

This is very sad news. I have just read the HT tribute.

Apologies, Frank. That was just a general thought on my part, and certainly not directed specifically at you!

 

I should have made that clearer in my post.

No need for the apology dippy but thank you. 

Well as the resident leftie on this thread, I shall just reiterate part of my earlier post regarding this....

 

"Clearly whatever their race or immigration status, what has happened is completely unacceptable."

 

Personally, I don't defend the indefensible.

 

I also find that tarring all with the same brush is never helpful. 

I do not recall tarring all with the same brush, I believe the headline said at least 18 were asylum seekers. 

Welcome to all our new friends.
