Once again Strawman talks in the language of ignorant bigotry. Thanks to our government's distaste for open government, none of us really knows what's happening there. Presumably someone has to die before we get a squeak of christian charity out of Strawman - but even then I think his attitude will be "good riddance". I get the impression of a thoroughly distasteful individual.

I just hope, Strawman, that you never are stateless or hungry. People don't risk their lives in the way these people have for nothing. Now that DOESN'T mean we should open the floodgates to them, but it does mean that we don't have to keep treating them like shit.

The thing that really shits me off is that if they were white Zimbabwean farmers Strawman would be bending over backwards to tell us how entrepreneurial and daring they are, risking all for a better life. But of course if they were white Zimbabwean farmers the tabloids would already be calling them enterprising and daring, and our hypocritical little PM would be leading the charge to welcome them.

And how, anyway, can a strict libertarian be opposed to the free movement of labour?
