A couple of facts that the BBC doesn’t trumpet in its tidal wave of ‘sympathetic’ coverage about migrants, in fact it seems to hide that truth under a flurry of untruths about ‘refugees’ whilst shroudwaving about the perilous journeys migrants are ‘forced’ to make.
We keep being told that the UK isn’t doing anything to help Syrian refugees and that we should allow in many more, number not stated of course. But the UK policy is that it is better for the refugees to be helped in the countries they have initially fled to such as Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Egypt and Turkey so that they can easily return home when the conflict ends. To this end the Government has sent £900 million to support these refugees.
The UN has a target of £8.5 billion…and has apparently reached 41% of that…‘UN donation drive for 2015 has so far only raised 41 percent of the target figures, forcing the World Food Programme to trim its assistance to Syrian refugees in both Lebanon and Jordan.’
The other point is that the BBC keeps telling us that these refugees are ‘forced’ to flee by making dangerous and nightmarish journeys to reach the safety of Europe. Again this is playing with the truth. They are certainly refugees but most of them haven’t come directly from Syria, they are coming from refugee camps in the surrounding countries, they have now become economic migrants not asylum seekers.
The Daily Mail published this report about the traffickers in Turkey who advertise for Syrians to go to Europe as the picture at the top of the post shows. The journeys are entirely unnecessary if the refugees are looking for a safe place…Turkey is a safe place.
The migrants themselves admit this, though they invent a drastic and dramatic ‘choice’ between taking a dangerous journey to Europe or going back into Syria when in fact they could stay in the refugee camp….
‘After escaping a devastating war, frustrated Syrian refugees in aid-starved neighbouring states say they must now choose between joining an exodus to Europe or “returning home to die”.
A lack of jobs and humanitarian assistance means that many are now giving up on their host nations.
“What do they expect us to do, to die in silence?” said Mohammed al-Hariri, who lives in Jordan’s vast Zaatari desert refugee camp.
“Syrians now have two choices: either to return and die in their country or to emigrate,” he said.
‘
The only sensible answer is to help the refugees on the ground and to do everything possible to end the war in Syria and then help the Syrians return to their own country and rebuild it. The BBC seems to prefer to abandon Syria and to its fate and empty it of people….and of course it isn’t just Syrian refugees, on top of that the BBC thinks the compassionate and humanitarian response to all problems in the world is to, not sort the problems out, but to turn away without taking any responsibility to find a solution other than to emopty the country of people…coz that’ll of course solves the problem…no people in a country and they can’t be persecuted…job done…let’s hope the Chinese are happy.
One solution to one problem might be to reoccupy Gaza and the West Bank, take them out of the hands of the criminal terrorists of Fatah and Hamas and start to build a Palestinian State economically, politically and socially. If the will was there it could be done as with Germany and Japan. The BBC et al keep telling us that the conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians is the root cause of all the world’s problems…so step in…Hamas and Fatah are the root cause of the conflict there…crush them and free the Palestinians from the ruthless grip that is destroying their futures.
Perhaps a bit of UN badged neo-colonialism is the answer.
Yet again we see a credulous BBC ready to believe anything they want to hear.
I am a Syrian refugee (even though I come from Egypt / Jordan / Lebanon / Turkey / Iran/ etc etc)
The BBC He IS a Syrian refugee.
They never ask any questions, or insert any caveats, what is said to them is taken as Gospel oops sorry Quranic Truth ! Many of the Asylum seekers are not from where they claim at all, and lets not forget that this was a group of people who in the beginning tried to start a revolution against their Yazidi rulers because they viewed them as heretical.
They failed, got their arses kicked and ran away, we are now being asked to accommodate them and to view them as desperate people who are just like us, when they are nothing of the kind. What happens when they start trying to start a revolution because they don’t like our largely ‘Christian’ rulers?
Yazidi rulers? Perhaps, Alawites?
Alawites. Alawites are a strange bunch, but have this remarkable ability to survive and even rule a region crawling with Wahhabi Islam types. The young Assad learned his lession from his father, how to keep fanatic Sunnis in check, keep them battering them with artillery.
Assad would have won easily had it not been for the US, as usual helping its wahhabi friends. Its the US that followed Saudi Arabian advice to create a narco-Islamic state in Europe, thus negating the sacrifice of Jan Sobieski and Prince Eugene at Vienna, and the valiant efforts of Europe to defeat the Ottoman invasion of Europe, at Lepanto.
My apologies for a memory failure ! Of course it should have been Alawites.
The US did help Saudi, when the Saudis were supporting and financing ISIS, more evidence of the corruption of Western leaders !
The liberal elite have long decided that self-assessment is the only way to identify anybody.
So if you`re feeling black that day(Rachel Dolezal)…in need of losing your willy( Bradley Manning, Kellie Maloney, Bruce Jenner)…or decide that it`s racist to argue with you(MacPherson)…that`s good enough for the credulous BBC and its like.
If anyone says they`re Syrian…the BBC believe it.
If they say they`ve lost their papers-the BBC gulls sadly cock their heads and emote so that we don`t need to.
But if you say you`re UKIP…racist abuse and shouting over you is their way of getting to their truth.
At least the Slovaks won`t take Muslims-only Christians…they`re not as stupid and as supine as the BBC and its running dogs of islam.
