Late at night as you are preparing for bed you get a phone call from Prime Minister David Cameron informing you that Parliament is in a heated debate and can't decide on how many Syrian refugees to allow in. And, in a break with tradition, they have decided to give dictatorial power to a random citizen on this issue. The members produced a phone book and Cameron closed his eyes and randomly picked your number. He is asking you how many Syrians should be let in to the UK and that the number you give will be binding. You tell him?

I would suggest for genuine refugees,that whatever the estimated number of them are,that they are divided by 28 as to the EU countries and we take our share of the divided numbers,whatever it may be.

Until it is safe in the future for them to return to their homeland.

Agree with that, they should then be divided proportionately around the country not crammed into some areas while others have none, who knows we or our children or our children's children might be refugees one day

[smudgie]

None.
I would tell him that the 28 EU countries need to sort out funding and help to give people safe refuge inside their own countries, now and in any future troubles.
Should be made a worldwide law.

This thread Just astounds me. There are so many reasons why.

I think ignorance is probably the main one to be honest do people really not have any understanding of why these people are running for their lives?

Do you even know that you helped pay to turn this into this?


If you support hate,war and murder then you have to accept that there are consequences. You are always going to get racist morons spouting bollocks but i fear for our future when reasonably educated people are too blind to realise that there are consequences to murder and destruction of other countries.
One of those consequences are that innocent men women and children have to run for their lives. Where are they supposed to go?

Either take some responsibility or take a stand against warmongering for profit you cant have it both ways.

So your suggesting we forget about the Brits in need and help people that have **** all to do with us? I'm sorry but British citizens have the right to be put first and under the current leader it isn't happening.

Nobody suggested that Adam where did you get that idea from?
Unfortunately these people running for their lives have a lot to do with "us" The UK helped destroy their homes and murder their familys.
Do you know why they had their homes destroyed by our army? Please tell me.

The UK didn't force terrorists to take control of the cities and kill innocent people

I didn't suggest that Adam.

Whatever the number of refugees we take, they should come to us through the UN camps, and not via Calais. This way we've got more chance of getting genuine refugees, families, children... rather than IS infiltrators and economic migrants.

As far as the UK being "responsible" for the war, I think you'll fine that Assad was the one with the chemical weapons, the one opening fire on his own citizens... and furthermore, Saudi Arabia is as involved as anyone and how many refugees have they taken? Zero.

Some may say indirectly that was a result of our foreign policies though.
If a bomb falls on a house and all civilians are dead does it make a sound?

No because people with their fingers in their ears couldn't hear it.

Adam, there will always be people who like to claim every ill in the world and name it as our problem. It doesn't make it our problem... we are involved in the periphery, like many other countries, but we are not responsible for the atrocities that have gone one between different Syrian factions, as you know, and no amount of hatred toward our government will make it so. And we're as heavily involved in finding a peaceful solution as we ever were in bombing Syria.

What's tragic is you claiming Syria don't have a problem with terrorist you clearly have no idea of what your going on about
