Put your racism down for two minutes and just think about what you expect from people who are paid well from the public purse. They should be an example. Still if you want your children to come in from school and say they are suspended for saying someone should f off back to where they came from you know where they learnt it from.

Absolutely it just serves to demonise them. Like the assumption that they are uneducated and looking for economic advantage. Among the refugees there are doctors, lawyers, academics who have been forced to flee their country. Certainly the numbers seem to some as unacceptable but are well below in comparison with the numbers that Turkey, Germany, Spain and France accept. Last year in total in the EU 965,665 people claimed asylum. Instead of empathy they are happily blamed for underinvestment by successive governments going back to the 1980’s in areas such as housing, Healthcare, Infrastructure, education. The fact that people actually believe it is staggering
