He said he doesn't mind her coming if she isn't a terrorist, but when he said that, he couldn't have known the colour of her skin. He could have made an assumption, but it's an assumption to assume he did. So it seems he more believes that we shouldn't allow immigration from countries in which IS are most active. Now, of course, it's wouldn't work because you'd have to ban immigration from France as they've been extremely active there, but I do think that it was more to do with countries of high IS activity. Nothing to do with race. And who are these brown looking people!? My ex-missus is Iranian. Neither her or her family are "brown looking". Middle Eastern, yes, but I'm not sure they fit into this strange "brown looking" category. In fact, she was often mistaken for being of Mediterranean origin. She immigrated here through work. Rugeley may disagree with her coming over because Iran is seen as an enemy of the West. That's up to him, and whilst I wouldn't agree, I'd understand why he's think that, but it would be a huge stretch for me to think it was because he doesn't want anyone "brown looking" coming over (I don't really understand what this strange categorisation is). thats the problem we have, we know terrorists are migrating over to europe but we dont know who they are. so what do you do?

How will changing migration rules reduce our exposure? yes we do, as i said more needs to be done by our country and allies and also the islamic world. migration is adding to the problem we already have, surely if we dont stop migration more measures need to be in place. there is no quick fix but things need to be done now so that in the future the problem does not get to the point of no return.

Sorry I don't understand your argument. How is migration "adding to the problem"? The problem is a lack of education leading to non-acceptance of "others". That applies to the population as a whole not just a segment of the population. What you are proposing is to make it harder to accept "others" and thereby worsening the problem. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that's your opinion, but the evidence suggests that you are wrong. Most terror offences are committed by locals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 1 hour ago, Xela said: The fact that if you are cautious about who comes into this country you are branded a racist in some quarters. Absolute bullshit. I'm not against immigration in the slightest, but I think we need to be sure who exactly is coming into the country. Good job people aren't saying that. People took exception to comments such as 'the country cant keep letting people in because we are a small country with an already big population and there has to be a cut off point' and 'stop all immigration'. That's what the last few pages have been about. Nobody is calling anybody a racist simply because they're showing concern for security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got a 'Smartflap' a couple of weeks ago. It's clear, so he can see you waving bits of chicken at him on the other side. Dreamies are quite good for this too. He got it quite quickly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got refused exit from Moscow when I was there as I looked nothing like my passport photo.... My passport was coming up on its 10 years and I had longish hair in the photo whereas as the time I had a grade 2 haircut and was wearing glasses gave her my passport and she just threw it back at me and said no (rather helpfully ) eventually we ascertained she didn't believe it was me / my passport after the 9th attempt she got bored and stamped it and let me go home .. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
