You bet it was not! His cheap, calculated condescence was so patent! And Solomon`s dicourse was so repetitive, virtue-signaling and aiming at a shallow sentimentalization of a very complex issue: "Protection" and "must protect"-repeated again and again-, "the UN resolution on refugees and asylum seekers" at least four times, and of course, universal unanimity ¿? to stop the impending doom of "climate change". Not one piece of serious data to back his leitmotivs. As a Christian I take compassion seriously, or try my best to do so. Compassion is not about a misty emotion of wholesale goodwill and feeling sorry for "Humanity" . It can be very personal and demanding. Prudence and wisdom must be its close companions so it bears fruit. A. de Saint Exupéry's almost forgotten book Citadelle holds several uncommonly wise insights on this subject. With a different structure and style, M. Revault d'Allones' "L'homme compassionnel" is centered in the necessary but slippery relation of politics an compassion, and worth reading.

I consider myself to have a degree of compassion and humanity but I am not swayed by Enver Solomans arguments. I am convinced that the overwhelming majority of illegal boat entrants coming here are doing so because the UK offers work; housing; education; health care; accountable police; democracy; transparency; freedom to wander and be answerable to no one and if you dont get it someone will listen to your complaints. The UK is the promised land for the third world, it is not surprising they all want to get here.

Mr Murray won that argument - first rate rhetoric. He picked up on platitudes and put them back into the box. I could praise further ... As to the world responding to the 'climate challenge' I don't think there's 'world' agreement on that one so not a good example. The bottom line is that immigration must be controlled and that means it must be done legally. Full stop. Ms Gupta's story is of course affecting. She travelled a huge distance but there were 'safe' countries through which she passed but her vision was the UK so she kept going. The government bureaucracy relating to her pending status was unfortunate but I would not criticise delay as I have no idea on processes. Many individual cases have merit but they should come through legal channels. We cannot take everyone who might want to come here as our infrastructure is already broken in part and our size and economy cannot cope without reducing existing citizens' way of life to what would become a lowest common denominator. The government must get to grips with this.

I have seen grateful refugees from WWII who legally came to the land of my birth. Greeks, Italians, Yugoslavs, Germans and others. They came with nothing but heartbreak. Over many years they made the bricks and tiles to build their homes. There were no benefits, no handouts. They learnt the language, they integrated, they worked hard and respected the law and faith of the land. There were many highly qualified professionals who held meagre positions, who very rarely worked again in the fields they were trained because of the language barrier and lack of funds to study and sit the exams to qualify them to work in their field. They did not displace the people of the country to be housed and educated, to demand special needs, wants, changes to the law to suit their beliefs in faith and their justice system.

Douglas Murray is spot on. No idea who that rude person is. Rude, frankly.

I feel sick listening to that repulsive 🤮 Enver !

They should all move in with Freedland

Enver Solomon interrupts Douglas Murray then(Enver) says let me finish i didnt interrupt you. Just so he (Enver Solomon) could reiterate a previous point. A natural agitator with authentic narcissistic flair.

It is/isn’t in Britain’s “gifts” to take in migrants. They talk about this being in different country’s “gifts” and the world’s “gifts”. I’ve never heard of this woman d usage ever before.

Enough is enough we can't even send foreign criminals who have committed serious crime back to whence they came after they are released.

[@tillitseac3774]

Oh please ... I can't take any more of these sad stories ... haven't we heard enough.

[@michaelcollinson2812]

Don't look or listen then. Simple.

[@tillitseac3774]

@@michaelcollinson2812 c'mon, it's not that simple. They're in our faces with this all the time. I just don't like emotional manipulation. I don't do it and I wish others wouldn't. Believe it or not I consider myself a truly compassionate person but you also have to be able to make the right decisions and that means looking at the facts and facing up to reality about what can be achieved.

[@michaelcollinson2812]

You have looked on KZbin and pressed play..now you didn't have to do that but you chose to that's why it's in your face .. I also have an heart and I don't like people suffering but enoughs enough ...it probably won't make a difference but people like Douglas and farage are our only hope and everyone should listen . Get some rose tinted glasses they might help.

[@tillitseac3774]

@@michaelcollinson2812 Well, looks like you totally misunderstood my comment. I support Douglas' views , as I understand them, my comment was in regards to those apologists for illegal immigrants.

Economic growth will always cancel out any climate change policies - capitalism is both our best and worst achievement bringing people into middle classes and leeching greenhouse gases into atmosphere

Migration is going to increase exponentially - chaos on the border is not an option.

[@markreynolds3490]

Another very poor offering, apart fron Sunetra & Douglas. Definitely ending my subscription to the magazine now.

[@joycegibbs5267]

Douglas, (Mr. Solomon, not Charles), gets it 100% every time. These migrant supporters never say what the UK should do to stop it, they always say it's a global situation. In other words, we don't want to do anything otherwise I won't have a job. P.S: Mr. Solomon might not be saying he wants open borders, but we all know he believes in it.

Spot on Douglas Enver Solomon is talking rubbish

[@mytinplaterailway]

This 'Gold isn't so important' nonsense is just an elite version of everyone gets a prize.

[@MarkRE333]

Very passive aggressive from Solomon - I strongly question his motives

[@ahartify]

He was being reasonable. Is that passive-aggressive?

[@MarkRE333]

Point taken - however his interruptions and body language led me to this conclusion@@ahartify

[@willjdeanie]

i cant work out if Solomons idiotic interruptions and smug grins when calling Douglas 'charles' are a result of his dimwitted, insufferable fuckwittery, or whether he is actually doing these things intentionally. Probably the latter, his grin had a certain 'knowing' look about it when he apologised.

[@9pwsscamel369]

Two of the contributors have referenced ‘climate-change’ completely unrelated to the discussion at hand - a sure sign that that ideology is now a core tenet of left-liberalism.
