WiseOwl182 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 It seems Cameron will now allow thousands of Syrian refugees into the UK. Plans to be revealed in the next few days Common sense prevails at last. Thank goodness. If some arrive in Sheffield I'll do everything I can to help them. If true then it's very disappointing.

I1L2T3 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 if thats the case then we as a country must be mad, totally stark raving bonkers and it will open the floodgates to the rest of the economic migrants from all corners because thats exactly what they are Migrants not refugees:roll: The Syrians are refugees. Their homes, towns and villages, livelihoods have been destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomass Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 that's pretty much how i see it. this knee jerker photo. lets just consider it. a family are not escaping from syria. they are already in turkey. the father loads them on an unseaworthy boat in order to make an illegal border crossing between 2 safe countries. so who is responsible for the deaths? That would be their dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berberis Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 You are right, but logic and reason seem powerless in the face of the tsunami of "Oh, innit awful" comments. Logic and reason, yes, but is there compassion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slordy71 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 The Syrians are refugees. Their homes, towns and villages, livelihoods have been destroyed. i agree until they reached a safe country, the first one, Turkey, Greece?? to go on further in unsafe overcrowded boats defies all logic and that is when they became economic migrants.

Its not common sense, its caving in to the very loud minority. ---------- Post added 03-09-2015 at 20:32 ---------- The Syrians are refugees.

I strongly suspect that that help will benefit your ego and self worth but actually exacerbate the situation. Selfish. Not selfless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's actually quite a nasty judgmental attack there. You have no idea who I am. As a family we've helped in the past. We'll help again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
