WHAT is going on with this country.

We are sending money all over the world to countries that hate us and to countries who do not give it to the people who need it when people are homeless, starving and can’t get support on our own doorstep. Then I look in the paper and see that a charity wants 40K to help women refugees seek asylum in Oxford.

I, like many others, don’t care if these women get into the country. Like it, or like it not, this country is over-populated and the flood gates will be open again in the new year to let more of Europe in. There has to be a time that we say no more, never mind giving a charity money to help these women. There will be loads of people agreeing with me about this, but I am sure you will only get replies from those who think I am selfish or racist or both. I consider myself to be neither, but I am a realist and this type of charity makes my blood boil and will never get a penny from me.
