Yes it does. She says that he wanted to get new teeth as he has none and it would cost $14,000 (presumably Canadian). She could not get him that sort of money in one go (something about going via a 3rd party and western union etc), so her father suggested that they try to get to Europe "for his...

Just to clear this up from earlier in the thread. If we trust the BBC of course: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-trending-34176631

I'll try to restrain myself! I am not sure what you are referring to in your second paragraph. My definition of a legitimate source is one where the facts being reported are likely to have been researched thoroughly and there would be comeback on them if they were not - you do not have to...

My original question was not sarcastic or clever in any way, you have just interpreted it that way. The figure of 216 is the number of people (I think Syrians) already in the UK under that scheme, the influx of 20,000 will come under the same scheme and will comprise of the the most vulnerable...

And that is you at your best? I will rephrase the question for you: As the UK will be taking refugees from existing refugee camps and will be concentrating on taking orphaned and vulnerable children, the disabled and the elderly, no doubt security vetting them as they go instead of taking...

Priority going to be given to orphans, the disabled, the elderly etc. Will they increase the risk?

The story you posted about the funeral of the little boy may well be true, I have no idea. The fact that you found and linked to that story on a supposed news website whose content is hardly balanced, only seems to run stories about "non-white invaders", has an extraordinary editorial policy and...

Well no the people in the camps will not care - it is those in the UK concerned about this that will though. Migrants implies they will stay, refugee does not, but anyway hopfully it will become clearer in the next hour or so. But having seen pics from Syria, it will be a long time before people...

DC making announcement in commons at 15:30. If they are under this existing scheme, they have the right to stay for 5 years, after which they can apply to settle in the UK. But lots of mixed messages in the BBC story I read - DC refers to them as refugees, Yvette Cooper refers to them as...

Their ultimate ambition is to create and secure a Caliphate in the Middle East, which is a lot harder to achieve with 8,000 less fighters there. I am not saying that none will slip into Europe pretending to be refugees, but I personally think 8,000 is rather on the high side. Their D-Day landing...

I have no idea how you would go about making the distinction - the murderer of Lee Rigby became an ISIS fighter when he committed that atrocity. But even if you take the figure of 100,000 split between 40,000 fighters and 60,000 supporters, which I now understand came from "Jihadi ideologues"...

Estimates vary wildly as to how many IS fighters there are in Syria and Iraq (US says 31,500, Russia says 70,000, Reuters reported 40,000 fighters and 60,000 supporters but I do not know where they got those figures from and the Kurds say 200,000!) but I doubt very much that they could afford to...

Good. Was the man in the picture you posted one of them?

I question the validity of everything posted on threads like these. I encourage everyone to do the same, including yourself. This standard "it has nothing to do with you" answer does not help your cause.

Can I politely ask why you decided it to post it then if you have no idea whether it is genuine or not? It does not really aid sensible discussion does it? And I commend Hastings Gull for questioning it's validity.

You have absolutely no idea what I do here and who I have helped and I am not going to waste my time explaining to the likes of you. All I will say is that of those that I have helped, every one of them is 100 times more decent than you.

It may do when I come to the UK and move back to Haywards Heath. :ohmy::D

Have they been promised things that they are not getting?

I was requesting clarification which refugees he was talking about as it can be implied, and now doubt has been, that all refugees from Syria are trying to get to Europe. Is that ok with you? As to why these countries cannot take refugees, it is a fair and valid question to which I do not know...

100% of which refugees? There are between 3.5 and 4m in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Egypt
