More than 200,000 refugees live in the UK compared to the 3.1 million living in Turkey, which has the most in the world.
Last year, the UK received 36,000 asylum applications, the fifth highest number in Europe. Germany had 122,015 applicants and France 93,475. The UK's intake was 17th in Europe per head of population.
Slightly different figures to what I read someone else post earlier in the thread, got the total for UK mixed up with yearly but posted the rest as totals...
Tough read that, unfortunately years of shit like this

combined with quite staggering stupidity gets you to "Thousands of murderers, rapists terrorists coming into our country daily."
I wonder how many pages we could knock off these threads if people had their opinion once and then left the thread be..
While we were forming a local community sponsorship group to bring a Syrian refugee family to our town we were out on the local High Street giving out flyers inviting people to join the group. I well remember getting a response from a chap (who was with his family at the time) exactly along those lines. When I pointed out that there were only two Syrian refugee families in two nearby towns (one in each) and our family would make just three, his response was that one is one too many anyway. Nice chap.
It beggars belief really
A local fella was advertising on a Facebook page around here that he was collecting for local refugees and looking for donations
Some fella comes on and posts I will send a donation ......to pay for a flight so these refugees can go home
Cue plenty of thumbs 👍 up and laughs all round
A few people challenged it but these people are idiots , you won't change them
The best ones are those that post a photo of a refugee alongside a photo of a homeless person. They then spout about ex soldiers on the streets. When will these stupid racists wake up to the fact that it’s not desperate people in boats feckin up their lives but men in suits arriving in Private helicopters/planes.
They don't give a feck about ex soldiers on the streets , they just use the plight of young servicemen to highlight what they think is the cause of them being homeless ......this country providing houses for refugees
When the problem is caused by a lack of housing and support for soldiers leaving active service ......and that's down to the government , not refugees
Far too thick to reason with people like that . Although quite a few are not thick and know exactly what they are up to .
I've got an ocd type (in my head at least) ossue where if I've commented on a thread I've got to keep up to date with the rest of the comments..and so many threads I wish I hadn't clicked open and commented on because even if I skim the comments I've got to get to the last read post...that's a me problem obviously bit still, it's mildly annoying.
Well done that lady
