Anywhere but Britain, or anywhere near Britain, is
May`s refugee message to the world, and the whole nation should be thoroughly
ashamed. People fleeing their home countries "should seek asylum in the first
safe country reached", our compassionate, Conservative prime minister told the
UN refugee summit, yet this disgraceful example of passing the buck receives
scant media attention in Britain; do we really think we are contributing enough
to possibly the world`s greatest refugee crisis ever? (Morning
Star,22/09/16)
But there is worse; May`s "humanitarian" policy
also includes encouraging Somalis to return home to a country where thousands of
al-Shabab terrorists are based, and which is under severe threat of famine, with
an estimated five million people already suffering because of acute food
shortages. Disasters in the Mediterranean show how desperate such people are to
leave their home countries, where bombimgs, executions and torture are common;
the report on Eritrea by the UN Human Rights council concluded the government
there was committing "gross human-rights violations"!
May would defend her policy by stating it was
in line with the Tories` 2015 manifesto commitment of spending 0.7% of gross
national income on international development, but for anyone with an ounce of
decency, her refugee proposals are simply callous and inhumane.
