Wristbands are okay for all inclusive holidays, perhaps thats where they thought they were going.
Never in human history has so much been given to so many by the labour of so few. |

These non-stories about "victimised refugees" always fall apart at the slightest inspection.
My guess is that at best, a tiny handful of not very bright people have made unpleasant comments on the streets about people living behind red doors, or wearing red wristbands. For one thing, we haven't heard of any plague of such people being investigated by police, and Plod doesn't usually need any second asking to make pointless investigations of white people with a preference for 'Strong Borders'. Needless to say though, the handful of unpleasant comments will have been magnified into a tidal wave by the dishonest Elite Lefty Media. |

Reminiscent of the Muslim woman on Jeremy Vine a few weeks ago who said after the Paris atrocity that someone had given her a funny look and another woman had allowed her dog to run up to her. It took her some time to pluck up the courage to then go and report these as hate crimes.

I think all any outsider to these issue wants is the truth.
Who is complaining (actual victims? Friends of victims? Bodies who 'represent' refugees)? In what numbers? What is their complaint? What is their solution? Who is attacking these refugees? In what numbers? What is the nature of these attacks? It should not be difficult to convey this information without fear or spin but seemingly it is, leaving room for everyone, armed with their own prejudices', to make capital out of it. For the record, I am proud of the general compassion that we show as a Nation (largely through the good work and intentions of British people through bodies such as charities and churches, as opposed to the Government who I view with far more cynicism). It's one of the things that makes us British. Xenophobia and racism can just go die as far as I'm concerned. We live in an imperfect world, without unending resources though. Good intentions are often executed less than perfectly but still mean the recipient is better off than under the status quo. Pragmatism and the rule of British law MUST be paramount. Of course, the wider political situation driving this exodus and the European and Middle Eastern response to it, is another issue entirely |

I concur with that roger.
All I would say though is that the terms 'xenophobia' and racism' are brought to the fore too early in a debate (and wrongly used) and the truth doesn't come out. Races are not the same and neither are cultures. Rarely do 2 cultures truly integrate. Those 2 sentences are for some 'xenophobic' and 'racist'. They are clearly neither. Until we realise that it's ok to celebrate our differences and be rightfully wary of an attempt to integrate oil and water, the debate cannot progress. |

I think most people want exactly the same things from life: clean water, food, a chance for their kids to get further than they've got - oh and Wi-Fi access of course.
I also think most people are prepared to work hard in pursuit of this. Of course, the bone-idle few will always garner most headlines. Try and deal with people of all colours, faiths and races on THAT level and you've got a chance. It's when you involve everyone's notion of who is the greatest sky-pixie and weather he / she / it will get pi$$ed off with you for eating bacon, is where it starts to unravel. |
