The EU: 80% of 'refugees' AREN'T from Syria.

And the sacrosanct narrative peddled by the professionally offended and exploiters of dead 3 year old children unravels more and more by the day, making it abundantly clear to all with a rational mind this was nothing more than a smokescreen to see through their self-loathing, liberty eroding agenda.

Apparently, according to the EU - NOT The Daily Mail, the Mail is the medium the EU is the source - 4 out of 5 'refugees' (a euphemism for 'economic migrants') aren't even from Syria.

Shock horror. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3240010/Number-refugees-arriving-Europe-soars-85-year-just-one-five-war-torn-Syria.html

Now, as all those who frequently proclaim the BBC is not institutionally biased towards the left-wing will notice, this is plastered all over the front pages of the BBC. Oh, wait, no it's not. Rather, we get this:

Yep. I mean, does this look 'desperate' to you?

I'm not too sure I trust the Daily Mail. Where are they getting these statistics from? Are these 80% refugees who are not Syrian citizens, or are they refugees who are not from Syria? Because these two should not be confused, although I imagine they might cause confusion. Prior to this Syrian civil war, Syria was one of the main countries that refugees in the Middle East escaping other conflicts headed to. So Syria itself has a huge population who are not Syrian and who do not have Syrian citizenship, but most certainly have been living in Syria. Would these people be included in the 20% figure or not?

If I remember correctly, there was a protest where they refused any food or drink. Prisoners often do the same. Even Gandhi has refused food and drink before as a means of peaceful protest.

Let's be honest. Who is actually surprised apart from Corbyn idolizers?

UN figures were 15% children 20% women and 65% men.
Of those only 20.1% were syrian.
That's an awful lot of people(probably mostly men) chancing their arm. The are probably the men that give it the bums rush to force their way through whenever they are about to be processed.

It's a political fooball used by unscrupulous bought and paid for bureaucrats to keep the hoi polloi in their place. Stalin used the same tactic in the USSR. Keep moving populations around so you lessen the power of local nationlisms and keep the people fighting amongst themselves instead of overthrowing the elite. You think is the worst of it? This is only a dose of what they have planned.

Anyone with brown skin or darker can call themselves a refugee and be let in.

I believe this might be the source for the data in the article. It looks like the source due to similar figures, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
http://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php/Asylum_quarterly_report

I'll probably have a closer look at these later when I have the time, but as far as I can work out, Syrians are the single largest group.

Also, it only goes up to June. July, August and September are not yet included but there has been a well publicised influx of Syrian refugees during those months. That seems like quite an important thing to note - the months that are not include could very well skew the figures more in favour of Syrians.

It would be pretty hard to get accurate statistics considering how many of the immigrants are trying to avoid being processed.

Dear Germany, thank you for WWI, WWII, European debt crisis (or I should say the totally inefficient and ridiculous ‘countermeasures’), and now this ‘refugee’ madness. For those who don't know, this mass migration is directly caused by German politicians who literally encouraged those savages to come over here.

Second caller was pretty much right about the thoughtless emotional narrative bought into by many people and media outlets on this matter.

The host then literally says 'don't you want children to be safe, wherever they are in the world?', which I think just about sums it up.

We already accept refugees, before it became fashionable, and before the Syrian crisis

""How many refugees are there in the UK?

At the end of 2014, the population of refugees, pending asylum cases and stateless persons made up just 0.24% of the population. That’s 117,161 refugees, 36,383 pending asylum cases and 16 stateless persons.
