Thread: UK to accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees

David Cameron is prepared to accept at least 10,000 people from refugee camps on the Syrian border, Sky News understands.
And he wants to persuade Labour MPs to back airstrikes in Syria against Islamic State in a Commons vote within a month.
The Prime Minister also intends to launch a military and intelligence offensive against the people traffickers.


Mr Cameron will come under pressure, when Parliament returns on Monday to confirm precisely how many refugees the UK will take and what support local authorities will receive.


MPs will also get the chance to debate the migration crisis at an SNP opposition day debate on Wednesday.
Number 10 is keen to demonstrate that, given stinging criticism from elsewhere in the EU, the UK is 'pulling its weight'.


Meanwhile, Chancellor George Osborne has acknowledged that a comprehensive plan was needed to tackle the refugee crisis "at source".
Speaking to reporters at a meeting of G20 finance ministers in Turkey, he said that meant dealing with the "evil" regime of Syrian president Bashar al Assad as well as the militant jihadists of IS.


Nevertheless, Mr Cameron remains wary of staging another Commons vote on military action in Syria after his damaging defeat two years ago, unless he can be sure of winning.
He has already spent some of the summer trying to persuade Labour and his own MPs that extending military action beyond Iraq is necessary.


Although, given that the US and France are already involved in targeting IS in Syria and that the British contribution would be small, it is difficult to see what practicable difference the UK would make.


These plans are all an attempt by the Prime Minister to wrestle back the agenda on an issue he has struggled to command in the past week, one which is now the primary concern of voters.

I'm glad I'm out of the shit-hole.

Reduce the intake of Paki's by 20k, and let 10k Syrians in- that would make for a better UK. Oz should take some Syrian refo's too- at the 'price' of reducing the intake of Afghans & Somalians. Believe me, it's a good deal.

Surely as a British Citizen and UK passport holder you have stautory rightv of abode in UK? Have I misunderstood your nationality?

I hope the UK will give priority to Christian refugees over Muslim refugees , Christians have been suffering particularly harshly at the hands of Muslims both in Iraq and Syria where they have been beheaded, tortured and raped if they have refused to convert to the religion of peace and also in the Turkish refugee camps where they are persecuted by Muslim refugees.

Christian refugees will assimilate much better in a Christian country.

Muslim refugees should be taken in by the Muslim gulf states and Pakistan etc, not the West.

FFS, taking in 1000's of un-checked people?

I'm sure most are genuine refugees but what about the rest?????

Fuck me, Enoch's words.........

Fook these people are refugees. desperadoes fleeing for their lives as a result of war.
Shouldn't really matter what creed they are if they've made the effort.
You'd have to be heartless to refuse help.
A lot of them will be going back anyway when it's safe to do so.
These are just ordinary families looking for a safe place for the kids to grow.
Maybe some bad guys in there hence Cameron's caution in taking only from refugee camps out there.
This shit is happening all over the shop now. It's only the beginning.

Can't think of a better country to have a large influx of Syrians. They will feel right at home with all the other mussies that are already there. Pretty soon the UK will have as many freeloaders as the US.

^
Billy, if you really believe what you said above, you are less informed than I thought.

A lot of them will be going back anyway when it's safe to do so.

it wont be safe for many many years to come, and any that obtain a right to remain will bring children and families over asap.

send over the christians, and send the muslims to a muslim country where they can better integrate.

I blame the BBC for all this!

Thailand isn't perfect but it is better than the UK will be in five years time.

only the media. no doubt many will praise Allah for leading them to the uk.

jayus we're all so fucked up and fragmented with the Mussie, Jew and Christian way.
But the politicians love all this so we got no hope.
Just more guns and misery.
I've no idea where they're gonna be housed, educated or when they need the NHS
as we're already over stretched in all departments.
That 3 or 4 arab countries refuse to take any because of the schism in Islam and Israel; the nearest thing we have to ISIL telling them NO Entry either.
It is all such a fvcking mess now, pure insanity.
Hard to imagine having to send arab kids to Israel after what they did to Palestinian kids and their homes, schools hospitals and utilities.
Yea fvcked if i know. But we created the mess. And can't stand by and watch the misery that has unfolded.

Frau Merkel who has commited to take in 800,000 has shamed Mr Cameron into accepting 10,000 refugees.

Don't despair lads.

Upon entry give them all a red and white striped shirt and send the lot to Sunderland. 10,000 not many but would double the number of Sunderland AFC supporters.

Tony Blair should be forced to give them room and board in his numerous palazios. He does bear a lot of responsibility for kicking off this destruction when he broke international law and invaded Iraq.

How do you bring up a Syrian child ?

By putting your arm down a sharks throat

Pope Francis has called on every European parish, religious community, monastery and sanctuary to take in one refugee family, as thousands of people from war-torn countries continued to stream into Germany via Austria.

The pope said on Sunday the Vatican would open its doors to two refugee families, but provided few details as he addressed tens of thousands of people in St Peter's Square.

Francis said it was not enough to say, "Have courage, hang in there," to the hundreds of thousands of refugees who are on the march towards what he called "life's hope".
He called on every Catholic parish, convent, monastery and sanctuary in Europe to shelter a family, and asked bishops throughout Europe to urge their dioceses to do the same.

His comments came after about 8,000 refugees arrived in Munich over the past two days, with a further 8,000 expected to arrive on Sunday.
They seemed dazed by the calls of "Welcome to Munich", from the few dozen well-wishers remaining at around midnight, as well as by their determination to thrust chocolate bars, bananas or bread rolls into their hands.

Many of the refugees said they were fleeing the civil war in Syria, while others were from Afghanistan or Iraq.

German interior ministry spokesman Harald Neymanns said Berlin's decision to open its borders to Syrians was an exceptional case for humanitarian reasons. He said Europe's so-called Dublin rules, which require people to apply for asylum in the first EU country they enter, had not been suspended.
"The Dublin rules are still valid and we expect other European Union member states to stick to them," he said.

After days of confrontation and chaos, Hungary deployed more than 100 buses overnight to take thousands of the refugees who had streamed there from southeast Europe to the Austrian frontier. Austria said it had agreed with Germany to allow the refugees access, waiving the asylum rules.

"Every refugee I spoke to was glad they left the horrendous experience they said they had in Hungary these past few days," Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoom, reporting from the Austrian town of Nickelsdorf, said.

"People here were provided with clothing, blankets and tents," he said.
Hungary, the main entry point into Europe's borderless Schengen zone for refugees, has taken a hard-line, vowing to seal its southern frontier with a new, high fence by September 15.
Hungarian officials have portrayed the crisis as a defence of Europe's prosperity, identity and "Christian values" against an influx of mainly Muslim refugees.


'Failed policy'
Budapest has been heavily criticised for its position, but the country's foreign minister, Peter Szijjarto, said Hungary should not be blamed for adhering to the EU rules.
A "failed migration policy of the European Union" and "the series of some irresponsible statements made by European politicians" were to blame for the crisis, Szijjarto said.
EU foreign ministers met in Luxembourg on Saturday to brainstorm possible solutions, but the usual diplomatic conviviality unravelled as they failed to agree on any practical steps out of the crisis.

Ministers were especially at odds over proposals for country-by-country quotas to take in asylum seekers.
"Given the challenges facing our German friends as well, all of Europe needs to wake up," Austrian Interior Minister Johanna Mikl-Leitner said.
"Whoever still thinks that withdrawal from the EU or a barbed wire fence around Austria will solve the problem is wrong."
British Finance Minister George Osborne said Europe and the UK must offer asylum to those genuinely fleeing persecution, but must also boost aid, defeat people-smuggling gangs and tackle the Syrian conflict to ease the crisis.
Austrian C

Chancellor Werner Faymann called on Sunday for an emergency EU summit to resolve the refugee crisis, saying his country's admittance of thousands of refugees crossing from Hungary was just a "temporary" measure.
Pressure to take effective action rose sharply this week after pictures flashed around the world of a drowned three-year-old Syrian-Kurdish boy, Aylan Kurdi, washed up on the beach of a Turkish resort, personalising the collective tragedy of the refugees.

Two Muslim families are going to feel right at home in the Vatican, they will have to add a Muslim prayer room as per airports.

Simple answer to the problem, every fit male that arrives gets conscripted into the army.
Trained up, sent back to free his country, sure the west could send a million men Muslim army over to the shit holes.

Think the numbers would drop of if that were the case.

Perhaps you missed the first sentence in the OP.

David Cameron is prepared to accept at least 10,000 people from refugee camps on the Syrian border.

Last time I looked at a map, Hungary was not on the Syrian border.
