I just watched one being interviewed on Sky News, he was complaining about the accommodation, the food and having to wear wristbands as it makes them identifiable but they dont mind hanging around the hostel(which everyone knows is housing migrants) and being on tv.

And You'd think wearing a wristband under your clothing would be preferable to the certain death they claim to have fled in such countries as Morocco, Turkey and France.

"Should they appreciate this country - absolutely! "

do we want them here - absolutely...not !

Best answer for the canary. I secretly told myself I'd give the best answer to anyone who 'shoehorns' the Holocaust into this story. I mean, it's, like, exactly the same sort of thing, isn't it. ;)

Via BBC news. Wristbands to be scrapped. I.d. cards to be issued.

My late Mother lived in a council house, all the avenue had doors of the same colour, should she have complained?

//Canary42
It was yellow stars for Jews in Nazi Germany in the 30s. Says it all about the way this country is heading.//

Ridiculous comparison. The Nazis didn't insist on ID to give handouts and food to the Jews.
Are you suggesting Lynx House should allow any one to wonder in for a free meal and deprive those meals to those who they are intended for.
Of course if these people hadn't "lost" their passports they could provide their own ID!!

[zebo]

OMG, not ID cards! Poor souls, having to prove their entitlement to free food.

[Svejk]

Yes, anne, but then you'd miss the hilarious letters under this story.

Im guessing that they need wristbands or Id cards to stop our own homeless going in and getting free food, after all we cant have british homeless people being helped can wee.

Now canary can compare their plight with Britain in the 1940's.
"Says it all about the way this country is heading" after having to carry ration books to obtain food from our own government!!

[vulcan42]

Will we ever please them? they choose this country because of the free handouts and then complain how they are given out. Thin edges and wedges come to mind.

Modad Abdeed who is waiting for a ruling on his claim for refugee status.
Says 'this wristband is discrimination, clear and simple'. Meaning that if he is turned down he is able to say it was for exposing the wicked force feeding of 3 square meals a day whilst being handcuffed by shame inducing red tape. Of course our very own liberal cavalry gallop over the hill in support, ensuring that headlines are secured and further proof of the British racist mind set is demonstrated.

[retrocop]

They really do not present a good case to show compassion or concern once there feet are dry on blighty.First thing they unpack is an "attitude"!!
Why should we consider the rest are any different if these are the shining ambassadeurs?

A great deal of 'GIVE AWAY'.

[Old_Geezer]

It's a very poor comparison. Stars in Nazi Germany was to indicate folk so that they could be discriminated against. The band showed those entitled to be given a benefit. The total opposite. Not a wise decision though. Caused controversy; as folk should have anticipated.

"It was yellow stars for Jews in Nazi Germany in the 30s. Says it all about the way this country is heading.".

Does it, Canary? Where do you think this country is heading?

Only answer if you want to, of course.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Just noticed Best Answer. He's a little devil that Svejk.

[retrocop]

Always admired his impish humour. :-)

[vetuste_ennemi]

What's wrong with making Jews wear yellow stars?
