What's very surprising (to me) is that it has become socially acceptable to admit "we don't want immigrants from war-torn or famine-hit countries". Folks even say as much on this Forum.
Someone needs to take a lead on this. We need politicians who, instead of trying to curry favour, win votes & line their own pockets (see Farage etc), actually genuinely CARE about all people, & not just those who are of British descent. It's not about Great Britain, or "us", it's about everyone.
It's all so sad, though in due course I think it will work out fine. There'll be some pain first, but the young generation are a good bunch & will help us get it sorted.
Fortunately, I believe our younger generation seem less likely to have the old, we are Great Britain, and we won the war arrogance, of older generations, that think that we still have an Empire, and appear more empathetic to the plight of others, and the future of the planet. This is in complete contrast to the electorate that will select our next PM, ie the Tory party, where the average age of a member is 57. To put this in perspective, if half your membership were 30 years old, and the other half 90, the average age would be 60. Why would it make sense to ignore our young people, and allow the future of the country to be decided by people that obviously have very little future.
Have to disagree Haysie, Just because you pass a certain age doesnt make your opinions, your politics or your ability to govern less meaningful than the young generation. Or maybe you think that at 55 we should all automatically be put into a home because only the young can deliver a world worth living in.
Thats the same young who want to change every rule unless it fits their own narrow parameters, cant decide on their own sexual orientation, are allergic to many food groups, believe that laying down your weapons means others wont attack you, have a million and one great ideas without a clue about how to pay for them, cant hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes without looking at a phone and whos main ambition seems to be getting famous via social media.

Have to disagree Haysie, Just because you pass a certain age doesnt make your opinions, your politics or your ability to govern less meaningful than the young generation.
Disagree at your leisure. I was merely pointing out that young people may well have a completely different view of the long term future, than people in their 90s. The Government have just committed themselves to achieve climate change targets before 2050. It is logical to assume that these targets will be of less concern to those in their 90s than young people.
The electorate responsible for choosing our next PM is not only very small, and very old, 70% of them live in the South of England, and 97% white. Therefore not necessarily that democratic.
Or maybe you think that at 55 we should all automatically be put into a home because only the young can deliver a world worth living in.
Not really. Nor am I particularly in favour of euthanising all very old people. However, I do think that young people may care more about the long term future than very old people, for obvious reasons.
Thats the same young who want to change every rule unless it fits their own narrow parameters, cant decide on their own sexual orientation, are allergic to many food groups, believe that laying down your weapons means others wont attack you, have a million and one great ideas without a clue about how to pay for them, cant hold a conversation for more than 5 minutes without looking at a phone and whos main ambition seems to be getting famous via social media.
Much of this will apply to people of all ages.

Pensioner fined £600 after telling black woman 'when Brexit comes you will be gone' 'I was born in this country and I have lived here all my life,' says victim
A pensioner who told a black woman “when Brexit comes you will be gone” has been fined £600. John Keogh also admitted calling the woman a “f***ing n*****” during his tirade at a bookmakers’ in south London. The 74-year-old initially denied being in Peckham High Street’s branch of Coral but pleaded guilty to a racially-aggravated public order offence on Monday.
Prosecutors said he “unleashed a torrent of racist abuse” because he was angered by the woman placing his £200 winnings on the counter, rather than in his hand.

I was merely pointing out that our country is being influenced by old people who have less of a stake in the future.
Our next Prime Minister will be chosen by 0.27% of the electorate, ie Tory Party members, who are mostly old.
70% of them live in the South of England, 97% are white, and are therefore completely unrepresentative.
Some people maintain that we are a democracy on this forum. Yet sometimes the facts don't support that.
If you took the referendum as an example.
75% of 18 to 24 year old voted to remain in the EU.
Whereas oldies voted to leave.
2,500,000 of the old leave voters have died since the referendum.
1,500,000 young people have qualified to vote.
1,500,000 EU immigrants that contribute taxes etc, weren't allowed to vote.
The leave majority at the time was 1,400,000.
Democracy in action.
Old people decided to leave the EU, and will decide who our next PM is.
I can see what you both mean, so want to try and find middle ground here.
I'm never knocking people who were forced to fight in World War 2. A lot of heroes there.
But that generation has gone. As an example, my late father was one of the youngest people in World War 2. When he died 3 years ago he was 92, and he was the only person in his Care Home (nearly 100 people) who had served in the War.
The next generation seem to want to inherit the glory without the sacrifice. Take this year's BGT winner. Not knocking the guy. But he didn't fight in WW2-he wasn't old enough. Anyone think he was the most talented person there? (Ignore the sob story)
One generation gave everything. The next one benefitted, but have a sense of entitlement that no other has. That was the generation that had Right to Buy, low house prices, Final Salary pensions and a host of benefits that will never be given to the young.
And yet still feel hard done by if they don't get a free TV licence regardless of ability to pay. And deny the vote to 16 year olds about the future. And don't get me started on Care Home payments and Inheritance Tax avoidance...

I have huge respect for the bravery shown by those that served in WW2.
However, this respect doesn't extend to me thinking that decisions that influence the long term future of the country should be made by groups of very old people.
To assume that my comments were in any way referring to those that served in WW2, is undoubtedly a cheap shot.
You may just as well assume that when I mentioned young people, I was merely referring to junior doctors, that work about 80 hours per week, for little pay, and are a fine example of our younger generation.
Not all old people served in WW2, and I think that it is reasonable to assume that those that are very old, may be less interested in the long term future than young people.
I am reminded of a cartoon that I saw years ago, which depicted a group of very old people, standing at a graveside during a funeral, where one of them expresses his opinion that "It hardly seems worth going home".
I think it is reasonable to make comments regarding old people without questioning their bravery or sacrifice during WW2, and those that would automatically link the two things, are taking a very cheap shot.
Neither are all young people employed as junior doctors.

Photos taken by Homeland Security inspectors show migrants being held in dangerously overcrowded cells in border holding facilities in Texas
Conditions were uncovered last month when Department of Homeland Security inspectors visited multiple holding facilities in Rio Grande Valley
Inspectors reported serious overcrowding at the facilities and prolonged detention of unaccompanied children, families and single adults
Children and adults had no access to showers and some adults were being held in standing room only conditions
The report was released a day after a group of Democratic congressmen, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, visited a facility in Clint, Texas
A nationwide day of protests by rights groups is planned to target members of the U.S. Congress about migrant conditions
