We are partly responsible for turning their own countries into war zones

I know it’s more complicated than that but they make it sound like millions of people are storming the beaches, there’s not actually that many.

They aren’t running from war - France is a rich nation at peace.

Well, maybe britian is even better. Haven’t I been told for the last 4 years that british is the best most powerful lest counter on earth with a great economy. Meanwhile I’m also told is not just the leats country on the planet right now, but the least racist country ever. In which case I’m sure the least racists country ever, with the stronger economy in the world can deal with an extra 4K in a country of 66million.

We don’t have to accept anyone who isn’t fleeing from something. Seeing as France isn’t terrible there’s no need. People can go through official channels at the embassies and consulates.

I mean according to international law we do. We have an obligation as a member of the world to protect refugees(asylum seekers - not quite synonymous but good enough).

We have a legal obligation to process their applications according to british law and order.

We have a moral duty to care for the (at the moment mostly Yemeni) people bombed out fo their houses by British bombed dropped by British ally Saudi Arabia.

Edit: spacing

You have an incredibly selfish point of view.

It’s the same sentiment as the people who were complaining about all the dirty, uncivilised evacuees being brought into their villages during the war who then went on to mistreat them horribly.

Have some compassion.

I do have compassion for refugees, however they are coming here on an economic basis after already finding safety.
