Britain to open the doors to 20,000 Syrians

My uncle is a property developer and I know he will be extremely happy to accommodate as many refugees as possible
I wouldn't mind lending our spare rooms either in order for a child to have a comfortable bed

No-one "deserves" anything.

Steve Jobs was adopted in San Fran, how does that relate to the lives of people who've always lived in Syria? That's like saying all of the refugees will be terrorists, because some will be.

Steve Jobs was still the son of a migrant and surprisingly didn't join a gang, run to a terrorist organisation or live in a ghetto!

I am a Muslim and I live in a non ghetto place and I have friends that don't go around being shady. My family work respectively for a living like many other Muslim families in the UK. We are not part of the mafia believe it or not. Nor are any of my Muslim friends or family.

My best friend is Syrian her dad is a lecturer at our Russel group Uni and her brother is a doctor in London working for the NHS

Is he willing to pay for their living expenses and medical costs as well.

Oh wait, that falls upon the UK taxpayer.

As long as they're scattered throughout the country, like, one family (as in parents+kids) per town. We don't want horrid little ghettos to form.

I hope they all move near to where you live.

No. He was raised by American parents. In America.


Cool.


Cool.

None of that means the people coming now from Syria will be educated.

Bit of a harsh thing to wish on someone!

Well as they won't take the British educational system for granted like most "original" English folk they will end up going further than others.

Well it comes across as your quite the lap dog for America then
Then again if you're a ukipper Farage won't approve of you praising Americans
He thinks that a small island like the UK is strong enough to cut ties with all non british mudbloods
Nige might read your comments and come to whack you across the head with a very British stick and make you wet the bed at night
What can I say he's a dodgy guy

I hope so! I hope they go to decent schools (not madrassas) and grow up to be productive Brits.


I never said I was a Kipper.

Listen Fango-
After their refugee status they will apply for citizenship and when receiving it they will work just as hard as us Brits and pay their way like everyone else.
Like other migrants who have settled here the young Syrian generation will take full advantage of the British education system (which unfortunately us Brits take for granted) and eventually be the Doctors, Nurses, Lawyers giving back to the UK which I think is great.
Don't you?

agreed, we have to remember that these people although refugees come from a very different culture to ours, and so if they are going to come here we must make sure that there values are submissive to British values.

Oh, we're letting them stay here long enough to be citizens?

With what jobs? The ones Brits are struggling to find themselves? Please. We do not have a surplus of jobs to be handing out to people like candy.

Well if they have the skills and qualifications why not?
please! I've had enough of the blame being shifted on others due to some Brits lack of work ethic and laziness
If refugees are determined enough to find work then they shall
why not blame another Kieth down at the fruit machines whilst wasting his money on a round of pints of bitter and salt and vinegar crisps with money he hasn't got and if he did was from the taxpayer anyway.

We shall look closer to home before blaming the innocent.
British hooliganism is to blame
