All these images on telly are causing hysteria, that's what the media does.
Someone said to me the other day that these children have probably been kidnapped for this reason to look like a family has drowned .

Never believe want to see on tv, according to strictly last night the celebs were meeting their partners for the first time.
Yet in the paper was each celeb partner pictured with their dance partner.
All this is to make the government look good for the next election

They will head for the uk,

Clever German gov, they'll get to pick and choose who they want,
doctors and other professional people, tradesmen and other valuable skilled people, then pass the not wanted people onto other countries

Well that sounds like a really good idea to me about the island. Going along the lines of what I suggested. I think if these people are that desperate and just want to be safe then if they are genuine they would go.

A very nice suggestion, BUT ,he's Egyptian , a business man, a politician and why would Italy or Greece want to sell him an island ? If they have the island already, I'm sure there's enough money from EU member states to set up an island for refugees without the Egyptians getting their paddles into Europe's waters as well. Just a thought !

These people do not work on a charity basis, more like 'what's in it for me' .

Second thoughts, probably something to do with the massive amount of natural oil that an Italian company have just found off the coast of Egypt in the Mediterranean .Announced on 30th August.
Egypt will be rolling in it and an island in the Medi. would no doubt be a handy little number to have for various reasons. An off shore tax haven maybe ?

You may be right Granny but in theory what he is suggesting or better still the EU as you suggest do themselves could be a solution. It's only going to be the genuine ones who would go , I think others have different ideas . Who knows what we are going to get . Somebody mentioned on here Trojan Horse, we all know that story. It worries me so much what's going to happen, not for me but my grandkids etc.

I wonder what all the soldiers who have ended up on the streets homeless , a lot suffering from post traumatic stress syndrome think about all this? Not a lot of help has been given to them and they sacrificed so much defending this country against terrorism. I should think they will pretty angry and rightly so.....

Even some of the asylum seekers are saying there are many coming through that are not genuine, how will that be sorted with no papers? some 25 year olds claiming they don't know how old they are but think they may be 14years old? if say 25% or maybe more of those being processed are refused asylum, where will they go? holding camps, then they get together refuse to leave, riots etc etc.

Casper,supposing they all wear the niqab, who is going to know ?

Which brings in another point. Understandably, the wearing of head coverings (in Islam Hijab) in those hot Arabian countries has been for thousands of years, also the covering of the face similar to the niqab must have been used as protection from sandstorms.
In Islam, they are both now used as a modest dress code to be respectful when interacting with the opposite sex and for many different reason also.
From that angle I wonder why, and particularly the British converts to Muslim, (who in my opinion seem to be silly little girls who are trying to get themselves noticed for being different) seem able to justify wearing eye make up ? Surely that is to attract or glamorise and therefore going against the whole doctrine.
I do not like the niqab and contrary to others, I feel it should not be allowed within medical, teaching, or any other profession in this country. If it's not allowed to be dropped in certain situations, then the jobs must go to others who do not hide behind such.

At the same time, we do have to remember the nuns in this country who are not too far removed from them with their own dress code.

Speaking of the niqab, it reminds me of a joke a comedian told, about a Muslim stag night, when the stripper came on they were all shouting get your nose out for the lads oshocked I thought it was funny but I'd had a few drinks.

Yes the great British worker again, those of us In the public sector who are waiting for the next round of budget cuts that will lead to more redundancies.
But hey Ho at least all the immigrants that are let in will be ok.
