Addressing your points in order: - So the polish people needed favours to liberate their own homeland? That's worded a bit strong but seems like it sums up your argument. - The schengen point was invalid, I was mixing it up with freedom of movement. My bad. - For the scapegoating, see this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/12041452/Poland-promises-to-stand-ground-with-Cameron-over-EU-welfare-demands.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/poland/1204... - Calling for tougher border controls is one thing, but what is the alternative? Let people drown in the mediterranean? Leave them in Turkey, a country which already hosts 2 million of them? - Yes, England and France (and in more recent history the US) have a significant history in that part of the world with ramifications to current events. I think the UKs position in this matter is also complete crap, but that doesn't excuse other countries for not doing anything to help.
