Why are the BBC calling people migrants and not refugees...? | | | |  |

Different things ...?
Google says ....
A migrant is a person who makes a conscious choice to leave their country to seek a better life elsewhere. Before they decide to leave their country, migrants can seek information about their new home, study the language and explore employment opportunities. They can plan their travel, take their belongings with them and say goodbye to the important people in their lives. They are free to return home at any time if things don’t work out as they had hoped, if they get homesick or if they wish to visit family members and friends left behind.
Refugees are forced to leave their country because they are at risk of, or have experienced persecution. The concerns of refugees are human rights and safety, not economic advantage. They leave behind their homes, most or all of their belongings, family members and friends. Some are forced to flee with no warning and many have experienced significant trauma or been tortured or otherwise ill-treated. The journey to safety is fraught with hazard and many refugees risk their lives in search of protection. They cannot return unless the situation that forced them to leave improves. (RCOA) | |

The Beeb used to have a disclaimer underneath all its articles explaining what it meant by migrant. They seem to have dropped that recently.
Anyway under international law refugees should claim asylum in the first safe country they arrive at. So unless these chaps have come all the way from Iran in a dinghy then the bbc description is correct. | |

If you were to ask anybody outside of The Guardian’s editorial team and the interns at The Beeb to name something off the top of your head that Britain needs more of I can’t imagine anybody answering ‘more moslems,’ can you in all honesty?
The anger at at the disconnect between people I talk to and work with and the remote political class (for that is exactly how they are viewed, strangers, often perverse) is beginning to crackle like charged air before a thunderstorm. The next five years could hold anything... [Post edited 26 Dec 2018 19:37]

It will never end good allowing Muslims, to settle here in numbers! | |

Probably because they are migrants, like those camped in Calais, they are migrants, not refugees. | |

Don't you identify as a "Christian"? If I'm correct where is your compassion ...and yet you talk of disconnect. JRM do us a favour and shut up. | |

What a load of bollox. Some small minded idiots on here.
Muslims are some of the nicest people I ever met. People like you settling in numbers is what we're at risk of. | |

For Loh -
Are the people you speak to Moslem at all ?
And as migrants tend to have little real power in their new country, what have they done to you and these people that you talk to ?
I mean - not paper talk - but real things in south Wales ..? [Post edited 26 Dec 2018 8:03]

Thing is the Brexit vote was generally based on the immigration question. The problem of course is that numerous terrorist offences committed by Muslims in the UK who have come here as our guests has seen hundreds of lives lost. Mostly British.
Had they not been here those families would not be grieving, hating and wanting change. Yes, some offences were and will be committed by UK based Muslims but try telling the people who are sympathetic to young innocent British lives being lost on our own soul that it is ok because they are generally nice people. | |

It'd be interesting to see the numbers, but I bet there have been many more terrorist offences in the UK during our lifetimes undertaken by people of a Christian background.
Not that I'm downplaying fundamentalist islamic types - it's a real enough problem. | | | |

That made me laugh anyway, along with everybody else I showed your post to. Probably not the effect intended, but good manners bid me thank you all the same.

The Psalms is from the Old Testament isn't it? | | | |
| BBC... on 20:02 - Dec 26 with 2296 views | Lohengrin |
Truth be told, Hump, what you and I would recognise as The Psalms, the language with which we’re familiar, dates from the 17th Century. | |

You mean the King James bible? I'm not taking the piss, I haven't looked at a bible since I was no longer made to, which was a very long time ago.
I just checked, it is the OT. | | | |
| BBC... on 20:10 - Dec 26 with 2287 views | Lohengrin |
I always refer to The King James Bible, Hump. It’s everything. | |

Aye. Possibly the first example of spin doctoring on a mass scale. | |

So you're the type of Christian who likes the bible before Christ was involved in it?
I know they won't let you join but your more of a Jew than a Christian really. | | | |
