Welcoming refugees. Well done Brits!

How genuinely lovely to see the other side of things. People actually welcoming people who need our compassions and our help. This really does mark us Brits out as a cut above other nations when it comes to offering our kindness and humanity.
Offering a hand is what being British used to be all about.
There really isn’t much to be proud about being English right now but this is a real breath of fresh air. We can be proud of this.

Despite far right protestors turning up and attacking the police. Disgraceful .

I’ve started this in the bear pit because sadly, this is where it will end up. For clarity, this is not started as a fishing thread, we really should be celebrating Brits showing our better nature. It’s very rare we have cause for this in this day and age.

Good for you

Good for you

I can’t take credit. I am not in Kent. But it’s great isn’t it.

Nice story Britain will always be a refuge for those in danger and persecution. In many cases these are professional people is their own country who have lost everything.

No you weren’t in Kent were you, you were probably busy (to quote what you said on the leaf blower thread” “getting a local simpleton in to blow the leaves”

Very classy...

I would imagine not. Was that done by one of the refugees in Kent then?

No France is not in Kent

How about a special round of applause for these lovely folk stopping a refugee from being deported back to a country where he may not be safe

:clap2

You do realise that not all migrants/asylum seekers are Muslim?

And I thought you were dead against jingoistic nationalism?

I have praised an act worthy of praise. Big difference.

So you'd like to see an entire group of people punished / blamed for the actions of somebody they have no connection with. There was another band of nationalists who thought along the same lines in the last century. That didn't end well for anyone.

No condemnation of the far right protestors who attacked and fought the police, then? No, doesn't fit your agenda does it. Think on.

Jeez, you're one ****ed-up dude, aren't you?

Talk about a man on a mission....

Or choose not to, which is far worse.

A positive thread about a side of Britain we can actually be proud of and the usual islamophobes wade in like overweight toddlers in a sweet shop. It's rather depressing, the sheer ignorance of it.

The war in France ended in 1945 , as far as I know .

What a joke, you’ve never started a positive thread in your entire time on NSC, fishing threads yes, many!

You’re a nasty vile little creature who doesn’t even support BHA, what a knob.

I can confirm that it did. And what a lesson it taught us about having compassion for those fleeing from persecution and tyranny. And indeed the tragic consequences of villainising a people.
