Think about it......................

Answer 1

if they dont want to eat, leave them too it.

hunger strikes are just stupid.

Answer 2

"And it said the detainees are eating snacks."

    That's not a hunger strike.  That is dieting.  They'll be healthier for losing some weight.

Answer 3

If you mean we should help them get on a plane and go home, I agree.  If they would rather be dead than go home, we could probably help them there too, but in a couple more weeks they will be helping themselves, as 21 days is about as long as a human can go with out food.  Having snacks isn't really a hunger strike now is it.

Answer 4

Hi Dave, I agree with the rest of this forum. There lucky to be here if they don't wish to take advantage of our hospitality they can always go home.

Answer 5

it's ok, really it's ok  you have to remember that ALLAH will provide for them

Answer 6

If they are eating snacks, how can they be on a hunger strike?

Answer 7

why do you think britain is in the mess its in we should be turning a lot more away look at other  countries like australia they wont let just anyone in and thus the crime rate is lower.

i live in a town where there is a large amount of refugees mainly curds and iraqis and to be honest were sick and tired of picking up the local papers to read about muggins stabbings and assaults on a daily basis. im not saying they are all the same but i think a lot of them are.

our local prison is full of them.
