It is so noticeable that all those on news programmers across the media who are wailing and criticising Cameron to do more, have not put forward one iota on how to solve the basic problem in both the short and longer term.
Perhaps they should be told to shut up before commenting more and try and use their brains - that is if they have any.
OK, let's say we go with the let 'em in brigade. We could probably house a million people in tent cities in London's royal parks. How would that do these people any good long term? There would be so many of them, they would stand very little chance of getting any work. They would be entirely dependent on hand outs. And a pound to a penny, it wouldn't take long for them to complain about the inadequacy of those hand outs. Which would further antagonise a reluctant population.
Sanitation wouldn't cope. We would potentially be importing a whole raft of health issues. Not to mention those who come from tropical or desert climates whose health struggles to cope with our cold, wet winter weather. You would have a mass of cultural clashes, unless you had strictly enforced barriers (Hyde Park for Shia, Green Park for Sunni, Azidis in Kensington Gardens..). Begging would be rife across the whole of the city. It would be materially less attractive as a tourist destination, especially after the first mugging of a tourist by a migrant got international news coverage. So tourism suffers, existing jobs get lost, resentment grows...
The hand-wringers may be very well intentioned Christian folk. But there seems to be no practicality to their position.
