    Very interesting on 5 live today the question was asked why doesn't wealthy Saudi Arabia take them-answer was coz they wont grant then visas
    stinking rich arabs don't want them there. It's close to Syria,same culture,weather etc but no they don't want to know.
    Too busy paving their palaces with gold from the lucrative oil revenue.
    Let the rest of europe deal with it eh?

    Clearly the petition has paid off ... as is prepared to "fulfill its moral obligations" by agreeing to take in thousands more Syrian refugees, according to Prime Minister, David Cameron.

    www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34148913 refers.

    It's a very delicate situation, I'm pleased that I'm not Prime Minister.

    Staggering naivity....... you and the rest of the deluded folks signing it are pushing this country faster towards demographic suicide. Didn't it cross your mind that we have enough problems with muslim extremists and terrorists ? 85% of these so called refugees are single males who have left their families behind and you are happy to have untold thousands of them here



    'Just wait…' Islamic State reveals it has smuggled THOUSANDS of extremists into Europe

    I'll add to that ded. They were interviewing a refugee who had smuggled his way over here. He has said he had left his kids and wife over there and it's very dangerous. Various people texted in implying he was happy to save his own skin tho!
    Of course his answer was he would get his wife and kids over here in due course! You couldn't make it up. Daft buggers signing the petition after seeing that picture

    Saudi Arabia UAE and Qatar should be admitting these people same religion and same language

    The Syrian's don't head to these countries because the handouts there don't compare with Europe

    My sympathy for them has all but evaporated after seeing how they are behaving in Hungary

    That idiot throwing his wife and baby on the train tracks was nothing more than a publicity stunt for the TV crews

    Its seems these days people can demand to live where they want to

    We had far more terrorists amongst us during the IRA years, and many more deaths, thousands in fact. No where near that number from Muslim extremists in this country. Bloody naïve idiot with tunnel vision

    All the countries around Syria have received refugees. UN figures as of Dec 14. Why is the overflow not going to Saudia? Simple, geography. Most refugees can only flee north, as they cannot pass south of Damascus due to Assad's forces. They cannot go east due to ISIS. East is how they would get to Saudia. North from Homs & Aleppo is the only safe route left for the majority fleeing the conflict.
    Lebanon hosts 1.1 million refugees registered with UNHCR, which amounts to around 26 per cent of the country’s population
    Jordan hosts 618,615 registered refugees, which amounts to 9.8 per cent of the population
    Turkey hosts 1.6 million refugees, which amounts to 2.4 per cent of the population
    Iraq hosts 225,373 registered refugees, which amounts to 0.67 per cent of the population
    Egypt 142,543 registered refugees, which amounts to 0.17 per cent of the population

    Give them an inch and they'll take a mile - the more that are let in the more that will follow.

    Hypocritically Cameron & the rest of the all party political establishment try to ignore other cases who do deserve shelter in this country. For example the 200 or so educated Afghan translators who bravely risked their lives supporting our troops and are now in fear of both their own and their families lives

    Many of the "refugees" are Assad supporters http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...fugees-boycott

    Nonsense about them not going south past Damascus, South is the way to both Saudi & Jordan - they don't like going to Jordan because they get put in tented refugee camps in the middle of nowhere hence the pull factor of free housing, healthcare and benefits in Europe. Why are 83% of the "refugees" pitching up in Europe young males - where are the women and children ?

    The reason why they aren't going to Saudi, Kuwait and the rich Gulf states is very simple - racism............ their fellow muslims don't want them

    Here's a map

    Get real - 2005 London Bombings 50 killed, 2005 failed London attacks all 4 terrorists had been given asylum in the UK. Thankfully untold attacks and aircraft bombings have failed or been thwarted eg London & Glasgow 2007, . IRA mainland campaign 1970's to 1990's 175 killed. Unlike the IRA who targeted both military and civilians the cowardly jihadis target civilians and children on buses etc

    Bloody naïve idiot with tunnel vision, pot calling the kettle black

    Once they Hungarian police get a few of these grubs away from the handwringing media they'll dish it out.

    I have happy memories from c 1995 seeing the Police give a gang of Roma a good taste of the nightstick at a Prague metro station

    It's all kicking off on Lesbos

    Riots erupt on the Greek island of Lesbos as 200 frustrated "refugees" throw stones at police and coastguard officials after being blocked from getting on a mainland-bound ferry

    Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz3kn22x3L1

    As Richard Littlejohn says :-

    If they were wearing red and white scarves and chanting ‘United’, the police would turn the flame-throwers on them. Just as at Calais, 99 per cent of them are young men, aged between 15 and 25. Where are all the women and girls?
