Amal Clooney attacks Britain over refugee crisis ... should be taking more immigrants from Syria

Amal Clooney has called on the UK to take more refugees from Syria. The human rights lawyer urged British Prime Minister Theresa May to press the UN to tackle ISIS, just a day after announcing her intention to mount a legal case against the jihadist group on behalf of a Yazidi sex slave, Nadia Murad.

The wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney also said she would be 'delighted' to work on a prosecution of Syrian president Bashar Assad over crimes against humanity and war crimes.

Speaking to Channel 4 News alongside Nadia, Mrs Clooney said: 'I would hope that more could be taken in. 'There has been one Yazidi family that has been given asylum so far in the UK. 'You have had a million refugees accepted in Germany in the last year and 70,000 of those have been Yazidis. 'In every other country it's been literally a handful, so I'm hoping that can improve.

'Actually one of the positive signs is that Prime Minister May when she was Home Secretary had instituted the idea that there should be the ability for private sponsorship.

I’d tell Amal to lay off the Cluny, but like the Muslims, Druze are forbidden alcohol.

Actually they’re right next to her and George’s love villa. That’s why she’s so pissed. Liberals getting some of their own medicine....love it.

As always, these self-deluded actors think their views are important. Nonsense. Live like the ones you are supposedly advocating for, then STFU AS YOU KNOW NOTHING.

'There has been one Yazidi family that has been given asylum so far in the UK . . .

Could it be because the Yazidi family meets the genuine definition of refugees rather than invading Jihadis or economic migrants? I wonder how many Yazidis were pushed off boats by the Muslim hordes and even had a chance to apply for asylum.

Not how progressives call ONLY for the U.S. and Europe to take in the refujihadis. Not China, not India, not anywhere in South or Central America, and certainly not any Moslem country where they’d be able to much more easily assimilate. Only Europe and the U.S. Why? Because progs despise and aim to destroy “white privileged” Western civ.
