Yeah.
Sorry, that was dark of me. I have been in a dark place over the last few days. Maybe also (but not only) that time of the month related.
You are right that it matters what the people say.
Referring to refugees as 'vermin'... That's a terrible thing to say. It is a terrible way to view people.
It is hard...
With refugees (as with anything else) you get a very salient few that are 'trying it on'. People pretending to be legitimate refugees who are wanted for war crimes back home or whatever. Men who have managed to grab a woman and child who have the woman and child thrust before them as armour. Hostages?
It can be hard to tell the difference. Hard to sort...
Everyone wants the same people and wants to get rid of the same people, I suppose.
I don't know.
