Of course, since the financial crash of 2008, poor Americans have never really recovered. The top 1% and indeed the top 20% have gone from strength to strength. I’m not sure what Obama has really done to improve the lot of the least advantaged in American society?

According to Human Rights Watch, David Cameron’s government has shown a shameful lack of leadership and compassion in the face of Europe’s refugee crisis. It argues British citizens and much of the media are mobilised, plus outraged opposition and Conservative backbench MPs are clamouring for action, and European countries like Germany are urging Britain to do much more.

Once again, the solution here is about crisis management and completely ignores the cause of the problem and the consequences of open immigration. David Cameron is not too proud, he’s listened and made concessions & the UK’s overall record is quite impressive.

By comparison, the US has refused to take Syrian refugees, worried about terrorists in their midst.

It seems that every liberal is on their soap-box?
