O/T Anyone still looking forward to taking holidays abroad?

Couldn't you house some of these unfortunate souls. You appear so concerned so why can't you do your 'bit'.

Or is it a case you like to bleat on about it. Don't answer. No need.

As it happens the company I represent in Asia employ upwards of 200 migrant workers. As part of the package they are housed in accommodation blocks one to a room with private bathroom facilities, a/c and 3 meals a day cooked on site. Many I see in Asia and the Middle East dont come anywhere near these standards.

In my view its up to employers who bring workers in to provide adequate facilities. Just my thoughts btw.

He said what do you do. Not your employer.

Ah ok. So the 2 of you are in agreement it was 1918 and it did not take hold in 1917. Fair enough.

It took hold in the autumn of 2017. It's known as the 1918 Spanish Flu pandemic.

Unless someone is trying rewrite history. Not uncommon at the moment.

I didnt know. I thought it was 1915.

I did indeed. If I truly had empathy with homeless people, asylum seekers etc. and truly believed they were generally good eggs, I'd be happy to put them up in a spare bedroom.

There's a mob on here, who won't have bad word said about these people. Why do they bleat on about it when they benefit from the trappings of our history and prosperity. Surely they can help people who have suffered because of the Empire.

If every person who marches on London and earns a decent living, gave up a spare room or their couch and at least fed these people 1 meagre meal a day, surely it would make a massive difference. We could even defund the police and let these caring people, educate the poor innocent people, in the evenings. What the heck, they could even smoke a peaceful joint together, in a new wonderful world.

I wonder why they never do?

I read the post about the recent request in Bristol to house homeless people. Someone on here asked John2 if he could help. He's not the silent type usually but not a peep.

Strange that. Really strange.

I probably stand corrected and say it took hold in 1918. Deffo not 2015.
