“We must not turn back the clock: failure to afford refugees with safe routes and protections all too often results in further terrible and avoidable suffering.”

We have safe routes, not our problem that the French are allowing them to take such a dangerous trip from their shores to ours in a unsafe rubber dinghy, and and ignore them as they drown saying they’re someone else’s problem.

​
Now, compare this to the Jewish fleeing across nazis Germany and Nazi controlled France, you have a fair point, but I seem to recall us beating the Nazis and the Migrants are currently fleeing across many EU nations, sure Poland, Hungary and maybe Bulgaria might be a bit scary and right leaning but that’s not an excuse to compare them to nazis.
“It could never happen here!” they exclaim while the Home Secretary calls asylum seekers “invaders” and introduces legislation that allows for their mass incarceration and deportation. This isn’t even a slippery slope fallacy, we’re already way down the slope once we’re at the point where one of the major political parties is enthusiastically adopting anti-refugee policies that a decade ago would only have been proposed by the BNP.
Groups from one of the most horiffic and well publicised cases of persecution and mass murder in history: “This shit you’re saying and doing is pretty worrying”
Random people in the UK: “Naaaaaah, it’ll be fine”
Failing to learn from history something something repeating it.
A bit rich isn’t it? Considering what Israel does to people that lived in the country before them.
They are confusing refugees with migrants, the bill only effects migrants, clues in the name. “Illegal Migration Bill”
**Refugees** – a person fleeing conflict or persecution.
**Migrant** – a person who moves from one place to another, especially in order to find work or better living conditions.
