NEWS

The migrant crisis continues. There have been reports of chaotic scenes at a Hungary migrant camp. The migrants have been complaining about their treatment.
I think these people need to be a bit more grateful and reasonable. The people working on the ground there are doing their best to cope with the flood of humanity facing them every day. They want everybody to get food and water; not just the strongest.

MPs are debating the Assisted Dying Bill in Parliament. If passed, the Bill will allow people with less than six months to live to be prescribed a lethal dose of drugs that they will have to take themselves. Essentially, it will legalise euthanasia.
This is a good thing. People should be allowed to end their lives if they're suffering and there's no hope of a cure. Some would rather die with dignity; at home; surrounded by their loved ones, and I think nobody has the right to stop them.

My Two Penn'orth

I'm not happy about the refugee crisis. The whole thing stinks.
There are a substantial number of people moving with that tide of humanity who are not actually refugees. There are many men who are looking to set themselves up and then send for their wives and children. That makes them economic migrants, not refugees. If they were genuine refugees they would have brought their family with them.
These people are supposed to be fleeing war-zones. They're seeking asylum and safety. If they were genuine then they wouldn't be choosing the country they want to go to. They'd be grateful to be in any country where they're safe. But, no - they're choosing the wealthier countries, because the reality is that they're economic migrants. If not, then why don't they flee to Poland or Romania?
How dare the European Union tell us that we have to take a certain number of "refugees". We are a sovereign nation, and the majority of voters in this sovereign nation don't want an influx of supposed asylum seekers. We having enough trouble coping with the EU migrants we've got.
Why are the mega-rich Arab nations not helping? Why are these migrants not going there? They will be safe. They will have escaped whatever perilous war-zone they fled. Again, as far as I'm concerned this is just further proof that these people are economic migrants.
And that's about it for me. No doubt I'll think of more things that bother me about it soon enough.
