Most other countries have more space.
We have lots of space too. That’s almost what aboutery. The other thing is often it’s countries close to war zones or natural disasters that take in neighbouring countries migrant population and only for a period of time
I’ve asked you lot so what’s mine
Part of it is being honest about the problem and that is linked with saying what is what isn’t possible
So with our birth rate we are screwed without managed migration of working age foreigners
As fellow human beings we need to assume that other human beings are the same as us
We need to understand and not assume that we know the circumstances of those who are taking huge risks to come to the uk. That’s all of us and I’m not judging people who disagree with me as less compassionate or empathetic
We need to be honest about what happens with crime and balance the positive and negative aspects of large numbers of people from different cultures being in the country
We have to talk and not generalise and pigeon hole groups of people based on where they’re from or their age or their nationality or their colour of race or religion or none
We need to reduce the numbers of non skilled non traumatised people from other countries coming to the country. We need to talk to all our close partners on this and work together to amend the echr and other agreeemements made decades ago in a different age and in a different world
Mostly and fundamentally for me we need to ensure we remain true to our human standards of decency and humanity in our dealings with other countries and fellow human beings
