If you had a bowl of 150 M&M's and 3 of them were poisoned, and would kill you if you eat them, 147 said they were M&Ms but were actually chocolate covered peanuts - how many M&M's would you eat.


Then apply this to the syrian refugee situation.

We need to stop it right now.

Anyone attempting to claim Asylum in the UK unless they can prove a direct route goes straight back to a safe refugee camp near Syria.

We accept a fair number from various refugee camps around the world with the understanding that once their countries are ruled safe they are given assistance to return. Obviously if they have been seen in UK or Europe then no access.

That would solve the rush to the UK.

Plus there are relatively few such ex-servicemen; there are tens of millions of refugees. I don't see why a life of someone in category A is worth more than that of someone in category B.

Ex-servicemen have served our country and put their lives on the line for what is perceived to be our overall security. We then abandon them, yet upgrade to the latest weapons regardless of budget. The government of the day needs to show that it must put its own house in order first. While all humans are equal, not all causes are.

What was wrong with the refugees stopping at the first safe country? Are their handouts not good enough?

Contribution would be a big pointer.

When I compare people's worth then someone willing to die for my freedom comes streets ahead of someone willing to lie to get into England!

YMMV

Servicemen and coppers probably have a better excuse for turning to booze than most.

Whats wrong with a sweeping generalisation and being mean to people? If former squaddies can't take it then god help the rest of the populace.

...Why not draw attention to the homeless ex-serviceman that have been cast aside and left unsupported after tours of duty? We're struggling to look after our own yet these prats want us to take more from elsewhere.

False dichotomy. It's not one or the other. Quite feasible to do both. Or (the politicians preferred), neither.

Since he's the elder brother, isn't he the first rather than the second?

They've both demonstrated an aptitude for coming second at various things.

[minestrone]

If his half wit brother never got in the way of military action in 2013 hundreds of thousands would still be alive today.

The problem I have with the term Refugee is that it implies immanent danger. The essence of being a refugee is that you have left your home as a result of a life threatening event. What should be happening is the "Refugee" should be stopped at the first safe point and held in a camp until they can be processed then passed to a willing host nation. That nation should then home them and integrate them. We don't have a refugee crisis we have a economic migrant problem that is hiding behind a shield of Syrian refugees.

Letting a mostly uncivilised zombie herd wander across the globe to the point where they think they will get the most bang for buck is both dangerous and stupid. We should have been dragging the survivors back to the shores that they embarked from. Even if we ended up paying that country to feed and keep them it would be better than the crap we have ended up with in France.

Homeless are not trendy or high profile enough.
You get more Guardian column inches by volunteering to clear the camp in Calais of rubbish.
Why it can't be kept clean and tidy by the occupants is beyond me.

How dare you suggest the these honest hardworking people who just want to live in the glorious UK clearly not for reasons on bludging of the dole should ever lift a finger to look after them selves.

Typical white patriarchal institutionalised racism....

or something
