As most are young men, why leave with no documentation when a Syrian passport would give you a fast track asylum?<br /> Again large numbers of forged Syrian passports manufactured in Macedonia has been seized. The rubbished left behind on this sad trail is now being analysed by police and they are finding identity papers discarded from all over the Middle East and beyond.<br />None of this will be reported in UK mainstream media as it might undermine the social cohesion rule and also get people to question the standard of reporting. <br />Saudi, Iran and the Gulf States have taken zilch families (so much for the “Islamic Ummah”)on grounds of security – might be a message there for Europe. <br />Spirit of BMEnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-86557552290743956282015-09-07T12:52:46.122+01:002015-09-07T12:52:46.122+01:00One of the suggestions apparently being considered...One of the suggestions apparently being considered in Downing Street is a 21st century equivalent of the Kindertransport. This initiative, which was organised by charities before WWII, is often held up as an example of British compassion and generosity, but in reality the UK government at the time gave a less than whole-hearted welcome. Numbers were limited, and a requirement was that the children had to be financially self-supporting. Some soon found themselves interned as enemy aliens when their reached their 16th birthday.<br /><br />Saddest of all, the operation was only open to children, and most had to leave their parents behind. Many never saw their mothers and fathers again, of course.<br /><br />According to the BBC, Cameron is now planning something similar. There will be lots of PR opportunities for Dave as planeloads of kiddies arrive, leaving their parents behind for nobody knows how long.<br /><br />And for Daily Mail readers, there is surely a much greater likelihood of these children being financially self-supporting if their parents are allowed in to find jobs, start businesses, etc.<br /><br />Cneifiwrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08767078276794410524noreply@blogger.com
