The scenes in Hungary of a TV camera women kicking and tripping refugees are disgusting – and the rhetoric around their plight is making me so angry – some comments made on the article of the attack have left me really upset so here’s my rant!!<\/p>\n

Refugees are very much welcome here as far as I am concerned!<\/p>\n

I’m sick of hearing how terrible it is that “immigrants” – (actually they’re refugees please buy a dictionary and look up the difference) are coming into our country and eventually we’ll be the minority ….<\/p>\n

….The minority of what? Because we are all HUMAN BEINGS and the UK is NOT unique, refugees are trying to find safety all across Europe – and we’ve taken less refugees than most other European countries – fact!<\/p>\n

I would like\u00a0all of you with children, with parents, with family to go look them in face and think what would you do?<\/p>\n

What would you do if a small band of militants were torturing and raping your family and neighbours, beating and killing your friends and you, your child, your mom, your dad – any of you could be next – and your government stands by and does nothing – in fact they do worse than nothing – they treat you like animals too, the starve you and bomb you into submission when you protest! They support the military in attacking its own people and stand by while the atrocities happen.<\/p>\n

Because I tell you what I would do. I would I would run!<\/p>\n

I would run with my child in my arms and I would not look back. I would leave my job, and my home and everything I hold dear, and I would run into the unknown. and that’s exactly what these HUMAN BEINGS are doing. Running – for their lives!<\/p>\n

And what do they face when they finally slow down\u00a0running – when they have crossed deserts and oceans in the search of safety – Racism, bigoted small minded people who have NO idea what these people have been through and face\u00a0scenes like this<\/a> – Human beings physically attacking other human beings for wanting to get their children to safety!<\/p>\n

It’s an absolute disgrace. Her side of the story in no way matches the scenes that were filmed – under attack? By a man with his child in his arms? By teenagers who have left \u00a0their homes, families and friends behind n the search of some peace? Really?\u00a0Kicking out at children, tripping fleeing fathers is not self defense – it is single minded at best to get the shots for your job, a job you are secure in unlike the people you are attacking.<\/p>\n

It is racist, bigoted, heartless and cruel at worse – which\u00a0given the ownership of the channel she worked for is probably closer to to the truth<\/p>\n

So now how do you feel now? What if that was you? Fleeing for your life, \u00a0with nothing but your child in your arms and the clothes on your back? With no idea where the rest of your family is – or even if they are alive.\u00a0Moving from country to country because every where you turn, you’re not wanted and the people you are running from dead set on killing you in the name of religion, greed and selfishness and the people you are running towards dead set on sending you back because of the same?<\/p>\n

Now are refugees welcome here?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
