you can start by donating money and food to validated sources, petitioning your government and MP to take action. Encourage companies who make vast profits to get involved with the relief effort
Once you "open" football grounds to politics, then no one can complain when IS supporters start displaying banners on one side of the ground and the BNP are on the other side.
. A football stadium is part of the community and WE SHOULD ALL do our bit to let our voices be heard.

So by me asking a question it is implying it?
Maybe it has just been that the media haven't covered it but I haven't seen much mention of it so didn't know what the situation was so asked on here where people know more about it than me?
Not playing what? The try to judge the implication of things game?
There is no choice sick boy, we have an obligation to help regardless of our concerns.While there is so much inequality and lack of justice in the world, what do you expect people to do?
According to some the country has been full for decades. Can you detail which communities have been eradicated due to migration?

You remember that scene in 'Life of Brian' where Brian is about to be crucified and the young woman is imploring the group to take action but they refuse because they must first call an emergency meeting and pass a motion?
Where does it stop though?
Because there isn't the opportunity for them there as there would be in the UK. Making them less a refugee and more an economic migrant...Yes, because there are no wealthy countries in Asia are there?
I am asking a question, I genuinely don't know.
Why wouldn't Asia be able to help?
On a scale of 1-10 what is the likelihood of that ever happening? I'm going for -10
Yeah fuck it, while we're at it let's turn that spare room of yours into a safe haven as well, we don't need it like they do after all.Concrete on the greenbelt you say? Good gracious no, suddenly all those people drowning doesn't seem so bad.
Where does what stop? Being compassionate?
True, it's not very likely. However, when you let politics come into football, then you can't not let other parties protest too. I'm sure not everyone in the ground agrees with the plea, just like not everyone agrees with the EDL or BNP.

As am i, were all selfish beings, we wouldn't survive if we weren't.Hey, just trying to inject some perspective.
You understand my point though right?
Where does it stop though?
To take what action though? This is what I am trying to find out?
Where will the food and money go? Will 100% of it reach a needy family. Having worked at charities I very much doubt it.
Just out of interest, if 8,000 fans at the next home game turned up with refugees not welcome banners...would this be acceptable? Probably not.
So on that basis refugees welcome, should also not be acceptable.

If you wish to support/not support welcoming refugees, then there's usually at least one demonstration a week or someone with a megaphone at various locations in Coventry City centre.
This is no more to do with politics than any other issue you idiot.
The thing is I am sure 100% agree they should be helped, the difference is in how.
This is the crux of the debate Nick, if it's all about safety, then surely France would be as equally a safe haven than the UK, yet they are risking life to cross the boarder, why? Because they believe they will have a better life in the uk. I don't blame them one jot, I would be the same, but let's not pretend they want to enter these shores purely for safety reasons.It is what I am trying to figure out from people who know more than me, if somebody crosses the border and goes to the nearest "safe" place to beg for help I understand it. Why are people going further and further?
The thing is I am sure 100% agree they should be helped, the difference is in how.
I would have thought that the answer to that is pretty clear. By doing more.

We don't need our back garden but I'll be fucked before I give up my one bbq a year.

No refugees.
This is not a European problem, although it has been turned into one by picking them up in the Med and dumping them in Greece- the EU country least able to deal with it. They should have been towed back to north Africa from the beginning- dumping them in Greece/Italy is merely encouraging more to come. Hard- but the only solution likely to work long-term.
Stop patronising the Arabs- they aren't idiots, and it's about time they sorted their own problems out.
KG7- please do not fly your ill-conceived banner- you feel so bad about it, you go out and join Peshmerga and fight IS.

Funny that, your reply isn't very clear at all is it?
