Took him long enough to be shamed into doing this, without the criticism, I doubt he would have.

Better late than never but the criticism of his rhetoric and lack of real action more rapidly remain for me.

He now needs to be looking even more long term and making sure he carries on 'really' helping more too.

What is Good
these are the Legal Refugees
from UN bases outside of Syria

Not from Criminal / Profit First/Murdering - Smugglers.

Good for him.
Sounds like a realistic number to manage for now.

Yes, sounds realistic. Good for him, and in the face of the usual outrageous criticism from the left. Genuine refugees and humanitarian aid have always been a deserving causes in my eyes and our record confirms we're both generous and timely with our aid.

It's a sensible starting point where we can see how we manage with this increase and be assured that they are genuine refugees. It's true that he has dithered over this and we might not have done anything were it not for the picture of that dead boy on the beach but then it wouldn't be the first time that one powerful image has provoked a change in policy.

good news, the frogs are taking 24,000 too....be interesting to see how many the rest of Europe takes, Russia the heroes of the far left as usual do nothing

'the frogs' welp

What's Bobby Davro doing leaving the house?

That's 12 whole refugees per day.

Off Topic

He's prime minister in my mind.

Good on Cameron tho

Shamed into taking refugees, and none that have already fled to Europe as the drone strikes continue maybe dave is hoping there won't be that many left so he won't be held to the 20,000 over the next 4 and a bit yrs?...

Oh, and he's deporting them all when they're 18.

This is not worthy
of a Serious Debate

Paddy Ashdown ✔ @paddyashdown
Minister in the Lords just confirmed refugee orphans and children brought in under Cameron's scheme will be deported at age 18.


:/

Not all of them

How many then and where are they going?

It has not started yet.
Next week the Home Secretary
is Live in Parliament - Watch Her


Well Done to The PM for taking 20,000
from UN -Bases.

Not from the hands of Criminal Money Making /
Evil Murdering/ Profit First Smugglers

...So he's taking 20,000 refugee children, bringing them to the UK and then deporting them again once they're 18?

No
its Familys


And thats the word of a Bitter LibDem who twitted
making claims - although he does not have all the facts
as they are not fully out

You don't have all the facts either, Arista, but I'd rather take the word of person in the House of Lords on this one.

Have his Word


But he is just trying to make trouble.

We all find out in Full Next Week

..I can't see anything reported on the '18yrs old' thing...so far what he's said I believe is...'They can stay for five years, have the right to work and access public funds. After five years they can apply to settle in the UK.' ...the funding laid out is more a 5yr plan thing from the overseas aid budget/a settling time.. and after that time, the government will consider, in co-operation with local councils, how it will be financed further...

20,000 is pretty reasonable considering the PM has pretty much ignored this for weeks on end. At least he's showing that the UK is doing something.
