Wonderful humane gesture by the club on 22:42 - Nov 1 by PunteR
Even if it is a pr stunt its a very good one. They didnt have to do anything, but its good that we are seen to be doing something worthwhile even though some dont agree with the politics. I for one dont have an issue with helping children who are stuck in an awful situation. Big up QPR.
And of course, it's not a 'stunt' in any way, shape or form. Sad that some have to be so reductive.
Bare bones.

Exactly my feeling. How do people become so negative, cynical and compassionless? What's so wrong with showing some basic humanity?
We're going to have adjoining wicker men, the rate things are going. If you see a flaming torch, run!

The gesture, on paper, is very noble and respectable but you have to admit the timing falls nicely after we've been dragged through the gutter press once again with the Telegraph?
The frustration coming from Facebook seems, that why have these refugees travelled across two sometimes three/four other countries before arriving on UK boarders and therefore the argument develops into a Brexit debate...

Well, the club wasn't dragged through the gutter, Jimmy was. And pretty much everyone agreed he was at worst a bit naive. Moreover, if the club worries about the timing of every noble gesture coming too soon after a bad press report about the club, they'd never do anything would they? ;)
Bare bones.

Of course we were. JFH represents QPR, so when he is in the public eye, so is the club, good or bad unfortunately!
Hmmm, you're right, but can't help feel there's some browny points tying to be scored here.
I wonder if the club or players will dig deep and try and help out that little lad with a brain tumour who visited the training ground recently?

I'd be extremely surprised if the club and/or players didn't make donations to the cause but they don't need to go into those sort of details. To be honest having read a lot of the comments up to now, if a player came out and said he had donated £5k, he'd probably get hammered by morons saying he can afford more, so hand it over. Some things are best kept off twitter and messageboards.

Well done QPR.
Brilliant gesture, well done to all involved.
If not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled. PG Wodehouse

But how can we repeatedly hammer our own club if they do that?

The vast, vast majority of refugees end up in adjoining countries. Only a fraction end up in Calais-- often because they have family-ties here.
This article has some useful myth-busting statistics.
"the six countries which host more than half of the world's population of refugees are Jordan, Turkey, Palestine, Pakistan, Lebanon and South Africa, who between them make up just 1.9% of the world's economy."

I'll lift the relevant quote to save you getting all worked up by the loony lefty.
"the six countries which host more than half of the world's population of refugees are Jordan, Turkey, Palestine, Pakistan, Lebanon and South Africa, who between them make up just 1.9% of the world's economy."
Presumably QPR have provided buses for the other half to be shipped to Blighty.

Erm, I know this was a beer post but you might want to update your info on the House of Lords. Most peers these days are appointed, not hereditary.
Then this is nothing short of an outrage.
When the House was packed with Aristo's, working class scum like us knew our place. They may have tossed us the odd shilling, or a few lumps of coal to keep us warm over the winter period...........but we were happy.
And now you're telling me that the Aristo's are being punted out of the House of Lords, and replaced by working class shite?
Surely this is the last straw, our 'betters' are the reason our great country has batted above our weight for all these years.
It's a shame Neil Kinnock never became Prime Minister.....he would have put a stop to Working Class shite getting above their stations........(whatever happened to him?)
I'm working class shite, and proud.........but stand on me.....it'll all end in tears.
I know my place.
What's going on?
We should be told
Sort it out

Not that I know the bloke, but why would you want to thump him?
Because you hold different opinions and beliefs to him?
Because you don't want to hear some of the thing he said it disagree with his assessment of thing?
Because you don't want to accept some (not necessarily all) of what he said is factual, ie. not an opinion, just facts informing him assessment?
Because you don't like the tone he uses? Maybe it's too condescending or obnoxious?
Anything I've missed?
Not sure any of them warrant "a thump". Sure you just posted it for comedic effect but it does come across all very "Donald Trump".
And before you say anything, I've never voted Labour before, am certainly not a Socialist and, in my view at least, am not a loon.

sounds like this MB getting its knickers in a twist when someone dare has an opinion that goes against the grain either about JFH or has right wing views we had Lblock called a racist by you and Danny the R not because of anything he said but because you both thought he came across that way even dear old lonely cliff called me a racist a few weeks back because I put up an article about Dianne abbott now Glous is the new Donald trump , brilliant
And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Not a wonderful gesture in my opinion. Contrary to the screaming lefties on here, who's bottom line is always... 'racist', I don't see France or Italy or Austria or Greece or any of the other European countries, crossed in order to get to Calais/UK, as Hell holes or dangerous zones to be fled from. QPR is a football team...to play football...not advise the Home office!!! I get the feeling from the exuberant opening comments followed by the comments about 'sneering', miserable' etc, that anything contrary to supporting Full-on open immigration is to be shouted down. Well do go ahead...shout me down, but I've supported this team for as long as most and longer than many and this is done Not in my name...to use one of your slogans.
