Refugee crisis

[The blue phantom]

there are kids starving to death in the UK trying to live off food banks ffs

it's incredibly sad but it's happening on our doorstep too and we should be more shocked by that

You make it out as if we are in a similar position to them, behave

It sickens me to the pit of my stomach how folk really don't give a toss abt what's happening

It's all abt looking aft no 1 for some and if it effects you in anyway you take the fuck um approach.

Talking of Russia ..I always thought they were allies of Syria. Why don't Russia attack ISIS?

It's called politics.

About 2 million Syrians have crossed to Turkey, which isn't what I'd call a peaceful country, what with the PKK, ISIS terrorism going on, and the state of their politics. And also, I don't think the Turks really like the Syrians being there. They are seen as beggars and criminals mainly. I've seen it anyway, and while they might be safer in Turkey, than Syria, I can't blame anyone for trying to get to somewhere else.

Correct. Of 4 million refugees that have left Syria (there are many others that have left their homes and moved to other parts of their own country), almost all of them have moved to bordering countries such as Turkey and Jordan. Only 250,000 have made it to Europe, and they should have a fair chance at asylum in these countries.

Seemed pretty peaceful to me when I went to Altinkum Turkey nice food as well, the truth is a lot of these 'refugees' are starting to feel 'entitled' as though Western Europe owes them, the Turks won't give it to them so they move on to the EU cash cow, funny isn't it how the vast majority of these 'Refugees' are aged 16-30

There is a fair amount of waffle in this thread. This is what we're talking about;

A dead child. No jokes, no point scoring, no politics, no religion. A little boy is dead.

The average age of a Syrian is early 20's, I suppose that's why.
