Ernie had been outside pulling up weeds
Then came in to sort his packets of seeds
He'd put up a scaffold to grow some beans
And over the way some things that were green 
He looked again and saw it was pond reeds.


Holiday Monday,  now what will you do?
Just the usual, or something new?

Good morning all.  Hazy sunshine here at the mo.

Washings on,  dogs fed, me fed and showered,  now a quick peep in here to see if you're all being good,  before my son and DIL arrive.

How can we in Europe offer them a better life in their own country ? 
All that is happening is that they are coming to Europe and changing it and not for the better .

Beautiful sunshine.. Going to bake a butterscotch tart.. Just like those we had back in school...
Washing on... so is the heating..

Very boring yesterday, I did the ironing, cleared out a pile of books for the charity shop, changed the bed, spring cleaned the bedroom, did two washloads, then collapsed in front of the telly after tea.   Chilli chicken, with mushrooms, peppers and rice, thanks to my OH.

It's an interesting discussion, but look at the world - wars and starving in such a lot of places. Our basic law or whatever you call it prescribes that we have to help people in need. However, as someone put it, we can't save the whole world. 
In the 50s and 60s we needed workers, so we looked for guest workers (Gastarbeiter) in Southern Europe and Turkey. Many of them stayed in Germany, others returned to their home countries when they retired. 
Some decades later people living in Russia and other Eastern European countries were allowed to settle down in Germany, if they had German ancestors. 
In 2015 migrants mainly  from Syria and Afghanistan flooded Germany, since  2022 more than a million of Ukrainians sought protection in Germany and our politicians fear that the number of Iranian migrants will increase enormously in the future. In addition we have migrants from Northern Africa.
Sending them back to their home countries is very difficult, as their home countries must be ready to take them back and as far as I know they aren't very keen on doing it. On the other side as per our laws we cannot send someone back to the home country if it is probable that he/she will be pursued there. 
The best way to solve this problem would be to offer them a life that doesn't cause them to leave the home country, but at the moment that's illusory. 
So you see, it's not only a British problem, but it's an European problem, too.
