The GREAT MAJORITY of these 'refugees' are flooding Europe through 'ASPIRATION' not 'DESPERATION'.

I'm sorry, but it is a fact.

And it is another fact that the UK CANNOT accommodate ALL those desiring to come here - no matter how much we may wish it, and no matter how many times we say that it is 'THE HUMANITARIAN' thing to do.

What is urgently needed is a thorough vetting procedure to ensure that all the fit young men who are fleeing from NOTHING are refused entry so that GENUINE refugees CAN be allowed entry into the UK with all the help we can - then - afford to give them.

Sorry.

Exactly!Where are all these refugee families in this picture?
There needs to be direct contact with countries like Syria with genuine refugees so that the people we do take in are the ones that need the help rather than just taking in economic migrants and ISIS members.
