    Fucking lucky you mate, want a gold star?

    For many people it’s not safe enough to stay where they are why they wait the 10-20 years it takes for the “official” route to let them in.

      You want a consolation prize?

      It’s not the rich countries fault that for many people its not safe in their countries. The rich countries are accepting a lot of people, and there are routes for same immigration. These countries cannot take everyone and anyone, or else they would collapse. Its not hard to understand.

        Care to point out which current unsafe country doesn’t have it’s recent history involving Europeans fucking them over?

        Also rich countries take a pittance in compared to countries neighbouring conflicts, where’s your concern about sharing the load there? Rich countries can do far, far, far more than they are without collapsing.

          Thailand? The only country that was never ruled by the west or in the west. Still very poor but you did ask and I answered.

          Your first comment made me think I would not agree with you but you have won me over.

          I come from South Africa and watching the Dutch and the amount of resources that goes to just cleaning up from a single town party it’s clear that so much more can be done.

          Third world countries aren’t under developed they are overly exploited.
