RE: Unintended consequences of mass migration into EU
Well, what can you do to mitigate these things NR? No travelling out after dark, avoid the known areas. We're moving, our city is now overrun. Apart from that? With people arriving on a daily basis and being ferried all over the country and rehomed there is no mitigation.
Houseboat - river gypsie lifestyle seems to be the way to go. Don't like the neighbours then move on dunno what else to suggest? Little boy will be starting self defence classes soon. Karate to start with, then when he's 6 we'll add in Wing Chun or some other kung fu.
Possible effects I think you've covered most of them there pretty well, the one that worries me quite a lot is the forced relocation of citizens to house the new arrivals. This will be the next step up from the bedroom tax... no tax to pay if you take in a 'refugee' or ten.
I see it all kicking off in inner cities, establish immigrants don't always enjoy new waves of immigrants turning up. Historical tensions still exists, then there's going to be competition from the new wave of criminals with the existing band of criminals. Now I don't mind thugs killing thugs, makes the country that much better, but innocent people often end up getting hurt instead.
What can we do? Point based system like Australia that'll get the genuine immigrants, then adopt their refuge system - don't take any.
Or do it by landmass, USA created this shitstorm, let them house the poor sods!
Sorry that wasn't very coherent, new baby equals very little sleep, and my blackberry has issues with text on websites for some reason.
Good thread though NR (shocked even myself with that!) very thought provoking.
