Reports: Britain will accept thousands of Syrian refugees
Washington Post ^ | September 3, 2015 | By Karla Adam

LONDON — The British Prime Minister David Cameron will announce imminently that Britain will take in “thousands” of Syrian refugees amid growing calls for the U.K. government to show greater moral leadership in the refugee crisis engulfing Europe, according to British media reports.

Although Britain is a significant donor of humanitarian aid to Syria, there have been increasing calls for the country to open its doors to more refugees following the heart-breaking pictures of the 3-year-old boy who washed up dead on a beach in Turkey.

Cameron pledged on Thursday that Britain would fulfill its “moral responsibilities,” and added that “as a father” he felt “deeply moved” by the image of the dead child.

He also told the BBC: “We are taking thousands of people and we will take thousands of people.” It was a striking turnaround for the premier, who a day earlier said that the answer to the crisis wasn’t simply taking in “more and more” refugees. . .

See, see! The UK is being compassionate and tolerant! Now these Muslims will become fine, upstanding British citizens.

Let us have a toast, mate! Cheerio!

If their taking in thousands, that means we’re taking tens of thousands. But of course we’ll never be told until after the fact. Gotta love the cowards we elected.

African immigrant smuggling into Europe is a big industry. When it was centered in Libya the EU demanded for years that Muammar Gaddafi shut it down. When Gaddafi finally moved against the smugglers they fomented a revolt which turned into the 2011 civil war.

“The wretched refuse of your teeming shore” nonsense is from some poem written by an otherwise anonymous clown.

It has nothing to do with our laws, or even, really, our national purpose.

Don’t feed the wildlife — you’ll attract more of them and with one wrong move, they’ll turn and tear you to shreds.

It’s a damn good thing for him that the UK does not have a national plebiscite like the Swiss or all of this would be reversed.

UK immigration is at the highest level ever under the Conservative only government. When they were in coalition with the Lib Dems, it wasn’t quite as bad. Disgraceful.
