Seeing red??

First it was red doors, and now it's red wristbands.  Am I wrong in thinking that these asylum seekers are being a bit too picky?  I'm not looking for gratitude, but equally I object to being treated as an unquestioning free vending machine which you are entitled to use as you see fit.  If you want free housing and free meals then I should think that red doors and wristbands are a small price to pay. And of course the comparisons some people are seeking to make with the way Jews were treated in Nazi Germany is fatuous in the extreme. They were identified in order to be beaten up, arrested and gassed to death.  These people are being identified so that they can be helped by being housed and fed.
