Ja ik begrijp dat mensen op de achterste benen gaan staan als iedereen ziet aankomen dat het fout gaat behalve de linkse regering (een rechtse had ze niet binnen gelaten)
Dat het dan nazi's zijn die op de achterste benen gaan staan is ineens het probleem?

ik kan jou echt niet serieus nemen, als je een regering en premier van de VVD links noemt

Citaat:

Riddle me this: Why do refugees come to Britain? “They want to change our culture!” says a woman who thinks that a culture that includes eating dead birds out of a cardboard bucket should never be changed. “They want our benefits!” says a man who presumably would happily sell his home, his family and his entire history for £35 a week in a country with substantially oliebol weather.
The truth is, stating your opinion about refugees’ motives with confidence doesn’t propel it over the threshold from being Something I Made Up into Something that is a Fact; neither does repeating, “It’s obvious,” or “Look around you!” when you’re challenged. Emphasis and anger are not substitutes for data, and they won't win new supporters to your point of view.
NEWSFLASH: WE CAN’T JUST MAKE UP WHY WE THINK REFUGEES COME TO BRITAIN AND THEN MAKE DECISIONS BASED ON THE LIES WE’VE TOLD OURSELVES. Simply imagining something doesn’t make it real, otherwise half the country would be up on Christmas Eve trying to stop that dirty immigrant Santa from invading UK airspace. But don’t worry, if separating facts and opinion sounds like a lot of effort when you’re not getting paid, you don’t have to bother, because I’ve done it for you. That’s right - I googled ‘Why do refugees come to Britain?’ so you didn’t have to (I’m basically a younger, cooler Jeeves from Ask Jeeves). It took two minutes, just fiets typed it in sitting in my boxer shorts while I was on a porn break, and I didn’t even break a sweat! You’re welcome! ‪#‎themoreyouknow‬
And you know what? Within two minutes I struck ACTUAL, FACTUAL GOLD. Turns out, the good folk at Swansea University actually went to the effort of finding out why asylum seekers come to the UK. Now let’s just be clear why I am using a university as my source, and not a newspaper, or the BBC, or some other media outlet. Thing is, media corporations are like shops, and the news is what they sell: they need to package it to make you buy it. So, in the same way that Tesco’s piles up the sweeties at the till where you will buy them on impulse, the media will dress up the news to try to get closer to what they think you want to click on, and because migration is such an emotional topic it’s one of the easiest ways to get that delicious emotional response that makes us do stuff. That might mean the Daily Mail saying that all immigrants are cancer-causing, Christmas-hating Sand-Nazis to appeal to their audience; or it may be the Guardian claiming that all immigrants are angelic superheroes who pull children out of wells and bake extraordinary cakes (granted, that last part really is sometimes true). The point is, they are all biased, and although bias still exists in academic research, because the research isn’t sold on in the same way as news, it is generally more reliable.
OK, now that that’s cleared up, what did Swansea University discover about why asylum seekers come to the UK? Here, for what might actually be the first time in internet history, are some facts:
*More than two thirds of asylum seekers didn’t make the decision to come to the UK. The decision was made for them by someone else, usually an agent. Some only found out they were coming to the UK AFTER they arrived here. [Imagine how terrifying that must be - to arrive in a foreign country not knowing where you are, what language is spoken, or where you can go for food and shelter];
*Of those who did plan to get to the UK, the most important reasons given were that they already had friends and family here, and that their human right would be respected. [So in effect many who come to Britain not because they want to change our culture, but because they admire it, which is really pretty humbling when you think of the hostility many of them face upon arrival];
*The refugees’ knowledge of the UK was often hazy. Some didn’t even realise that Europe was comprised of different countries [kind of similar to how many Britons think Africa is a single country]. Many had no idea about how British society works, such as what they could expect in terms of benefits; some didn’t even realise that there was such a thing as a benefits system [think about what you know about the systems that operate in Togo, Mali, or Burundi; or consider how you would find out how much money the government of China would give you while you’re sitting in a refugee camp in Venezuela with little or no internet access. It’s hard enough negotiating the benefits system if you’re a literate English speaker in Britain.]
Please don’t take my word for what Swansea University discovered: instead, why not google the research for yourself. It’s right there, it’s free, and it’s easy to understand. Their writing might not be as hip and krazee-exciting as mine, but it’s much more thorough and accurate, and while I’m basically chasing likes and craving the attention my parents never gave me just like whoever runs Tesco’s and the media, these guys are only interested in getting the truth about refugees out there. This research is important, not only so that we can understand the plight of refugees, but so that we can assure our fellow Britons that regardless of what is promoted by media oligarchs with papers to sell, there is no need to be afraid of people in need. If we arm ourselves with facts you will find that the truth is never as scary as what you imagined. Fear is a great motivator to acquire internet traffic, but it’s no way to react to a lost person who simply wants to live their life in the kind of peace and security that we take for granted every day. We need less anxiety and more information; and when we get good information like this, we need to spread it like mad.
