J, I suspect that the anything you know about refugees is what you have been spoon fed and gullible enough to swallow.

As opposed to your 'knowledge', I on the other hand spent 7 years in a refugee camp where the air conditioning was the holes left from the removal of alternate palings to burn in freezing temperatures.

Medicine was non existent and the one meal for the day consisted of boiled cabbage and anything else edible ctat could be foraged.

The gates were not locked nor were there any guards because the attentive was exposure to the elements and starvation.

So I will keep my, and many thousands like my experience, in the forefront of my mind and have a closed mind.

Perhaps you should open your mind and eyes.

sounds like the horror of holocaust

Because you mentioned 40 degree heat - NT - just considering your comfort - and the lack aometimes of electricity.

If you don't want it I can return all the feathers before they are missed.

Does it matter to you Donna?

All that happened a while ago and since then I have integrated 100% to my adopted country and have fought for it and bled for it. What about you?

And the rest of you, what have YOU done for YOUR country?

bugger all could'nt give a rat's too busy worrying about being PC

I am sorry you had that experience in the camps Poddy.

I am sorry anyone has to experience it.

I don't have the answers...............I just think it is all so sad.

I have been lucky enough in my life that I have never felt the desperation that those people who wrote those letters have felt.

What about you?

I was born here. Where were you born?
