Immigration or humanitarian crisis?

[minestrone]

MPs were scared of creating another Libya or Iraq plus loads of British Military coffins coming back.

The only real way to stop being drawn into any trouble was to get Assad to agree to go with free and fair elections but that wasn't going to happen.

After gassing a thousand civilians in an afternoon the Americans had carte blanche to do one of their shock and awe, back to the stone age numbers on his army and airforce. Assad would have lasted a couple of weeks, either getting done over by his own army or on a flight to Russia.

Nobody with any sense though this was going to be a war with any casualties.

At least half the labour party now know they fooked that up.

Atrocities happened in WW2, and the Brits stayed and fought

British military, yes.

Second German woman evicted from her home to make way for refugees - Telegraph

A woman in Germany is being evicted from her home of 23 years to make way for asylum-seekers, in the second such case to emerge.
Gabrielle Keller has been given until the end of the year to leave her flat in the small southern town of Eschbach, near the border with France.
The flat belongs to the local municipality, which says it is needed to house refugees

Ruthless German efficiency at work. But this time on their own people. Vote Merkel!

[d000hg]

Landlord ends tenancy... what a headline.

Oy vey, the Germans have no history with that sort of stunt, evicting people to house others of a racial group more favoured by the Government, quick Moyshe, pass the gerfilte fish!

You mean they get more money from housing refugees than her - capitalism at work. Vote Merkel!

I think you'll find that the cases are going to court and the courts will find in favour of the tenant due to Germany's very strong rental laws (you should read the German press instead of scare mongering right wing British press and you'd know that) and a couple of idiotic mayors of villages will be left with an expensive bill, egg on their faces and no hope of re-election

So?

This sort of stupidity merely highlights how much the hand wringing bandwagon is on an endless downhill propelled by emotive press (toddlers corpse which happened to be there in very dodgy circumstances as revealed later) and cretinous politicians that have jumped on with glee.
There are literally millions of people in poor countries from Asia and Africa who have been invited by Merkel and her pals to perform nothing short of an invasion of Europe, all they have to do is make out they're in some way connected with Syria.
Hell there's plenty of reports of real Syrian refugees saying that they're outnumbered 5-20 to 1 by economic migrants. Just a shame that more countries haven't taken the Hungarian approach and put up the barbed wire.
I'm a complete barbarian, I have no sympathy for the filth infesting the Calais area and marginally less for the scum charging through the Balkans. If nothing else they're obscuring the genuine issue of actual Syrian refugees fleeing a maniac government and an armed insurgency from ISIS that makes Vlad the Impaler look like a sensible moderate.

...some old bollocks...

You really ought to lay off the Babycham

would be amusing if they decided to only accept refugees from camps near Syria which we fully fund and manage properly. All those found in Europe claiming to be from Syria are shipped to these camps.
