  1. Self conscious laughter there when Bill said that nobody should be elevated just because of their bloodline. And then silence whilst he suggest that we should treat animals ethically. Beginning to think that even the liberal students of Oxford are pretty far removed from mainstream Britain.

  2. ***** Because you can cite countries that have worse attitudes towards humanity is in now way convincing. We are all members of the human race, and through NO personal effort of yours, you had the good fortune to be born in a decent country. That's a reason to be MORE compassionate not less.

  3. ***** I absolutely agree that the other member states of the EU should share their burden in supporting migrants from other nations (proportional to their ability to do so - would be no point flooding Greece for instance!). As for non-EU nations, we have no control over their policies, so it's fruitless to become irritated by their unwillingness to share the check. Personally, I would simply ensure that in return, those nations are not recipients of OUR goodwill when they need it. Of course all cultures are not created equal, nor do all nations have the same attitudes towards human rights. Does that mean that we should follow their template? Clearly not. We rightly pride ourselves on being better than say Turkey, or Russia, or Bosnia, or perhaps even Japan, and in my opinion, we should continue to be the beacon for decency on the planet.
