The question is - will this be an election issue or will we be back to
beating up on the vunerable and non-voting refugees again like the tough
people we are. (Must remind Christians like TonyA about what
Christianity is about - seem to remember a few bits from the Bible from
Sunday school and Jesus embracing everyone and looking after the poor and
destitute, not just some of them - anyway, offtopic).<br><span style="COLOR: #888888"><br>MMC</span><o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div>
