Sweden Grants Blanket Asylum To Syrian Refugees

[AB Editor]

Sweden grants blanket asylum to Syrian refugees:

http://tribune.com.pk/story/599235/sweden-grants-blanket-asylum-to-syrian-refugees/

"“All Syrian asylum seekers who apply for asylum in Sweden will get it,” said Annie Hoernblad, the spokesperson for Sweden’s migration agency"

"Those granted permanent status will also be allowed to bring their families to Sweden."

Do we have the compassion of the Swedes in our fair country?

TTT the idea that the worlds population would fit on the Isle of Wight is decades out of date

Hello, another knuckle dragger here.

Still on with the name calling of anyone who dares disagree with you then eh mickey?

We are full, for the reasons explained so no we should not bring anyone in. Besides all it would potentially do is bring violence to our streets since refugees could be from either side and as it is really religious based then not a good idea.

Of course the right-on brigade seem to automatically assume everyone wants to come here. Just maybe they like Syria (providing no bombs?)

Just a knuckedraggers view.

naomi...you don't really need me to explain "knuckledraggers"...do you ?

[naomi24]

Yes please.

Syrians are more suited to a muslim nation like Pakistan. No mention of Pakistan being receptive in your news clip.

Knuckledraggers tend to rise to the surface, like scum. I haven't mentioned anybody by name this morning but they seem to have identified themselves, as per usual !

If the name fits .......!

I've never come across the term 'knuckledraggers' before

[mikey4444]

Well, you have now ! This might help :::

"Knuckledraggers tend to rise to the surface, like scum"

getting a bit gobby arent we ?

little man at keyboard syndrome, with massive chip on shoulder best fits you

[ck1]

which one of those definitions refers to people in this debate?

[bazwillrun]

@naomi

people that dont agree with his let them all in policy usually get that sort of insult thrown at them.

Hes called me that may a time, quite pathetic really, if i called him what i wanted I'd no doubt be banned, as there seems to be selective rules regarding certain people on this site.

AB would be better off without him really

[naomi24]

Mikey, charming!

[mikey4444]

You see. I haven't mentioned anybody by name but suddenly certain people feel threatened. Threatened enough to make personal attacks on myself, rather than participate in a calm, reasoned, and intelligent debate !

As I should have said before, if the caps fits .......

[sir.prize]

knuckledraggers - ''extremely low intelligence, or general stupidity.''

Another of your usual comments, eh mikey?

AnswerBank is hardly the place to use that kind of inference - particularly on the Editor's thread..

[naomi24]

Mikey, actually I don't think referring to people who disagree with you as 'knuckledraggers' equates to reasoned and intelligent debate.

[mikey4444]

I think that there is a reasoned debate to be had on immigration, or, in this case, offering asylum to people who have become homeless through no fault of their own. Some people have made an attempt at this debate but certain people, who, I repeat I have not mentioned by name, have used this post to attack me personally.

I am not calling any person in particular a knuckledragger but it seems that some have decided to take on the mantel all on their own. Note the childish and intemperate language that they use !

But everybody is entitled to their own view on this subject, no matter how badly they try and fail to make their points.

[bazwillrun]

"Threatened"
yeah right

put it on the comedy section

[bazwillrun]

"But everybody is entitled to their own view on this subject"

and when it doesnt agree with yours you roll out your list of unimaginative insults and retorts

[mikey4444]

But Baz... I haven't accused you of anything this morning...why do you feel threatened ?

[sir.prize]

OK mikey - so you haven't addressed anyone personally.

Please enlighten us as to who this comment relates to . . .
