I think we are all aware Verdun. I think the idea of accepting people from the border is a good one - they have no horrific journey to contend with and (hopefully) everything will be in place to welcome them. What is going to happen to all those already in Europe though. There will be people with alterior motives but hopefully they will be weeded out (see that: back to gardening). Try to put yourself in the shoes of someone fleeing for their lives. Women and children first eh?
I think that this is the most serious issue Europe has had to face since WW2 and European governments must work together to deal with this ongoing crisis in a structured and properly thought-out way rather than being emotional and reactive - the British government along, with most of Europe, has been woefully slow in understanding the nature of this crisis and is only now even beginning to address the complexity of the situation - but I refuse to let these difficulties take away my own humanity and I will respond to other humans in distress as best I can and I'm proud of my son for doing the same.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
DD. Did you get in any extra food, drink etc for the forkers who have invited themselves to Charlie's party. How many rooms have you got anyway? To be honest I had to pick my son up from bowls last night and it was dark. I'm terrified of driving in the dark so probably won't be with you then. Have a lovely day.
Yvie, how are you all today? Your poor Mum, saying she felt better before going into hospital. Cellulitis is a weird thing. Hope your daughter feels a bit better soon. Hopefully you'll only go half a round with Mike by tomorrow.

I'm not posting here for a while too political for me and my views are my own

I agree with both Verdun and Kef, think I'll stay out of it too.

Getting a bit heavy , all I will say on the problem of immigrants is , Europe could not accommodate everybody From around the world !
