| Message | Refugees, by their very nature, are victims of horrible and often brutal oppression.It is impossible to define where 'extreme' becomes 'not quite as extreme'. The reasons they are refugees and come to our nation is to seek peace and work. What benefit does Article 2 proclaim? TWP believe the current legislation on border controls are too tough, so will definitely vote against this bill |

| Message | "What benefit does Article 2 proclaim?" Prevents foreigners from residing permanently in this nation. "Refugees, by their very nature, are victims of horrible and often brutal oppression." Or, on the other hand, job hunters who can't be bothered to help their own people. We have no borders to war stricken famine ridden Banana Republics, hence genuine Refugees are extremely rare. |

| Message | "Or, on the other hand, job hunters who can't be bothered to help their own people" Unrecognised; the world is drawn in class borders. Members of TWP share more commonhood with workers all over the globe than the Black Brigades, even though we speak the same language and organise in the same nation. ~x~ |
