Syrians

[transam]

Regarding the future of Syria for its female population, I found this a very powerful image (still taken from a news piece.) I wonder exactly what the future will hold for this little girl in terms of freedoms.

future ??
Not a lot if the Islamic fruitcakes / mad mullers take over

Taliban gave certain assurances

Yes exactly

One of my old chums had a mother who fled to England from Germany as a child in the late 1930s

When would you have sent her back?

Algas would likely suggest May 10th 1945 ...

Mrs Jones, great news, you can move back into your house today!

Eh? But the flood waters only subsided yesterday and the house is wrecked inside!

Ah yes, but the immediate danger is over. Get yourself moved back in today, you'll be fine.

Also, of course there's no chance of the women or children being forced to fight in a war not of their choosing.

But it's OK to leave them at risk of being raped and murdered?

But those already in France aren't at risk.

In Syria it’s mostly the men who get persecuted…..pressured to join Assad’s regime, the women often end up in refugee camps.

Why should France take them instead of U.K.?

Here we go again. The huge numbers fleeing war and oppression? In France?

You're right: here we go again, all the usual tropes trotted out.
There is no war in France. But asylum seekers are under no obligation on where to seek asylum. They simply have to turn up and ask.
How do you think Asaad reached Russia? by rubber dinghy?

Many of whom have conveniently 'misplaced' all their ID documents.

Urban mythology doing the rounds yet again.

Some will now be hurriedly reviewing their decision to claim to come from Syria.

Remember the recriminations and false accusations in France after the end of WW2, and after the Balkan wars?
Do you not think that similar recriminations and false accusations will now be occurring in Syria?

 

[Gone Skiing]

Exactly. Genuine refugees consist of children, elderly, women, - even pets. Eg. Ukranian refugees. Fake refugee chancers consist of almost exclusively young men, cherry-picking their preferred country.

You've suddenly become an expert on what refugees look like.
You should be working at the Home Office, you could just walk down the line and point out the genuine refugees.
I don't know why the UK employs thousands of investigators to check on the refugees status, I bet you'd do it as an unpaid volunteer.

France shouldn't, and neither should UK

 

[Nwgs2]

It isn't about want or need, it is about helping fellow human beings who need it.

And leaving uk citizens homeless in the process.

Ok.

 

[Nwgs2]

That's great in principle, but the problem is distinguishing the genuine needy from economic migrants, mostly male, who are happy to leave their women and children in supposedly dangerous places.

This

• Between 2015 and 2020, approximately 16,350 refugees were resettled in England and Wales under the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme (VPRS) and the Vulnerable Children's Resettlement Scheme (VCRS).
• Those resettled are primarily of Syrian nationality (91%), with slightly higher proportions of males (52%) than females (48%), and around half (50%) aged under 18 years on arrival; two years after arrival, most are still living in the local authority where they were first resettled (over 80%).

It’s 4 years out of date……

Cheers.

Not if all the men have left to seek asylum elsewhere.

Ok.

Explain how that happens.
