    There's got to be one of them can give Elder a run for his money, surely!

    Joking (and getting annoyed at others further upthread) aside, it is great to see from BFC. Well done to anyone involved.

    Saudi Arabia and Qatar won't let them in because of the risk of terrorism, but it's OK for Europe to take them.

    That's a nice coin-flip of the point being made.

    However he is correct. Technically they ceased being asylum seekers once they left the first 'safe haven' and headed towards the uk when they became migrants.

    However, its a good story and it shows barnsley and the town in a mostly good light. So ill leave it at that.

    Wonderful post.

    This reminds me of an extract from my favourite Bukowski poem-

    people are not good to each other
    one on one.
    Marx be damned
    the sin is not the totality of certain systems.
    Christianity be damned
    the sin is not the killing of a God.

    people are just not good to each other.

    Thats because they aren't. They are offering facilities to a group of local people to play football on. How is that getting involved with politics?
