'You want to put the lives of our children at risk?'

HAVING a barbecue the other day here, close friends and relatives were as shocked as I was to read that Guernsey was contemplating taking in refugees.

Published

Europe is in 'chaos'. You want to import that here?

You want to put the lives of our children and grandchildren at risk?

Many of these refugees have 'lost' their documents and some, we are told, are cold-blooded trained groups. Well-known authors and security experts have declared this influx is unstoppable.

Does the island have a strong security force/army personnel who could be flown in?

If these organised refugees arrive in large numbers by their own boats, on the ferry, cargo, who will stop them?

Tourism will be damaged, the economy, house prices will be affected.

Open the 'charitable gate' and Facebook and mobile phone communication will bring more from Calais. Be wise in advance.

Charity is one thing, but this is sheer folly.
