A Great British Welcome!



A Great British Welcome is a series of stories profiling people across the UK who are supporting refugees.

Across the United Kingdom, people are opening their hearts and lives to refugees and saying ‘welcome’ in a range of innovative ways.

Great stuff! That's what being British is all about!

I was watching the Windermere Children a few nights ago. Oscar Friedman and his team do such a wonderful job with the child survivors of the holocaust and most residents of the sleepy village in the Lake District welcomed them with curious but open arms. Offering to play them at football and inviting them for dinners.
However some, few but some residents viewed them with fear and suspicion. "We don't need any more bloody Jews coming over here" "Jewish or not, they're all Germans to me". They were Polish.

Its an uplifting story but at times upsetting. It also mirrored some of the attitudes we see on here from posters like Das Reich and Baker Lite. Fear, misunderstanding and unfortunately, dislike were all just as present in Windermere 1945 as they are here in 2021. I dread to think what would have happened if we'd have had a generation of Ppf's and Baker Lites back then, we'd have been toast. Which is upsetting. But, as in Windermere there is also great support, love and compassion for present day refugees. And that is uplifting.

For those that don't know the story...

ploughing back to 70 years ago.......bloody hell , we had something to feel guilty about back then ( ie sending the krauts packing) .....this wave has a far lot less to do with Britain but obviously as you are fluffing the pillows of the incomers it works well for you ......it doesn't for everyone..!! no offence meant.

Some fantastic work being done here.

Are refugees becoming a fixture in English football?
At Bath City, refugees are part of the ‘glue’ that binds groups in a deprived area; the FA, and clubs like Notts County and Arsenal, are also embracing those forced to flee.

As both a football fan and advocate of Britain embracing those who are in need of support, I can only be encouraged by the positive steps being taken by refugees and by the FA.
This is such a healthy way to encourage positive integration. Cracking stuff.

are you not classed as an immigrant where you are? So as an immigrant in another country you have an issue with immigrants, is it just a superiority thing?
