50 Karen refugees move to Sheffield.
Seeing the documentary "Moving to Mars" it was clear they were better off in the jungle on the Thai border.
UNHCR claim that peoples should not be removed from their homelands and culture.
At the Jobcentre one was asked what his profession was.
"I plough with an ox" was his honest reply.
They did not even know how a fridge worked.
How does bringing them here help anyone?

mmm I am sure they weren't forced to come. Sometimes I wish people like you would experience just 10% of the hardship the assylum seekers have.
Hardship?
Plenty of hardship in my childhood and in the UK in general.
I have been to Burma twice. Freedom of speech is not the same as hardship.
If th Karennis put down their guns...

The Karen fought alongside the British forces in Burma against the Japanese ...100% of them ...
bearing in mind many Burmese fought against the Allies on the side of the Japanese ..
After the War and to modern days currently , the Christian Karen , have faced constant extermination by the govt forces in Burma..
forced back through starvation, and constant bombings , helicopters, artillery , and modern weapons of war they have defended a shrinking area for over 65 years ,with WW2 weapons , as Burmese forces have tried to eradicate them ..
The British abandoned these Allies after the war ....
My father fought in Burma and stated NO ally was greater than the Karen , to his dying day he thought it was appalling how this Christian people had been "abandoned" to their fate ..

doubt theyve got any cats , they have been living at starvation level :-)
The Karens fought alongside the British as they were paid and wanted their own homeland after the war!
The Karen rebels fought on the same side as Rambo in the film, so that's okay by me, let them in. :)
If it gets a tad crowded, chuck out the equivalent number of nigerians or somalians.
