Add to that southern Italy and southern Spain. Been on a local residents forum for the area of southern Spain we hope to move to --- yes, that'll make us migrants too. One of the posts on the site highlighted the riots that are going on in southern Europe. Town and city centres being smashed up. Wonder when we'll get that in Britain?

Why aren't the BBC showing these riots?

I've just had a look on the web and can't find any reference to riots in Southern Europe. There's a story about a riot in a Moscow Suburb.. I'd be quite interested in a link to these riots as my sister lives in Southern Spain and I'd like to let her know...
 
For those that havefollowed my views on this topic I have banged on a bit about the EU trying to sort something out. Which it appears it is now trying to do.

i think this crisis will bring out the best and worst in people.

Flicking through Sky website last night and was sickened to see photos of an Hungarian woman news reporter who was filming Syrian refugees. There were photos of her kicking refugees trying to flee from the police. There was a photo of her tripping up a guy who was carrying a child and various other photos. She has been sacked by her TV employees. Not good at all.
 
I know there were demonstrations in Hamburg on Saturday, but that was organised by people protesting against Xenophobia.. So if the question is why aren't the BBC highlighting them, then you'd also have to ask why no one else is either?
 
What security checks are likely to be performed on the people we take into Britain?

If they are coming from the recognized UN Centres in the Middle East as much as is possible when dealing with displaced people, if we're going to adopt the EU model - very little.

So basically...it's an open door for terrorists posing as refugees :rolleyes:

No change there then. The only sensible thing Cameron said on the subject was we would only take those out of the UN camps, shame he then buckled under public opinion.

Cameron has nowt to worry about. Migrants are to be dispersed around the UK depending on local rents, i.e. very few to London and the SE because rents are high, but 1,000's to northern towns and cities because rents are low. NIMBY!

Probably to seperate the Somalians that rioted in a block of flats recently. Two seperate factions from the civil war thrown together in the same block of flats... good job Brum Council know what they're doing.

Yet, we are to believe they are fleeing violence because they are peacable folks. :smirk:

Well well well. I talked about this subject earlier in this blog about the same happening in Leicester ( two differant Somalian factions put together ) and was lambasted by some as my take on what had happened being iffy.

I did did not know this had happened in Birmingham and take no pleasure in being proved correct.

This is the only thing visible about anything in Hamburg recently. No riots - just demos against the 'far right'!

There was an article about riots in Hamburg dated 13th September - but that was in 2009!!!

Was this the one accompanied by a photo of some guy waving an ISIS flag in front of a load of police? That had the attached headline 'And so it begins - ISIS Flag Among Refugees in Germany Fighting the Police'
