Oh dear, what are the luvvies, lefties and the BBC going to do now?

These are EU figures not the DM before the usual howls.

I wonder how many of those fit young men are IS sneaking in.

[anotheoldgit]

These young men should be trained into a fighting force and sent into Syria so as to get their country back.

Why should foreign forces loose their youngs lives, while these fit and young men seek a comfortable carefree life in our lands?

I thought that was always rather obvious

Not many speak Arabic - the language the D M tells me they use in Syria
Quite a lot seem to speak Roma/Romanian

and the Beeb had tear jerking piece on two migrants falling in lurve - one had bben on the road for seven years (!) and the other was from Niger..... and no noone had a sense of irony ....

we are witnessing a huge population shift
of the sort that led to the fall of the western roman empire ( goths )
or the arabs in the 640s
childrens crusade - 1300
Turks and mongols

and historians will argue as the cause for the next 200 y

[EDDIE51]

Those figures are the 3 months to June, the main influx from Syria has been since then.

eddie I am not sure if it is useful to comment

O well they werent - but they are are now!


and clearly the Beeb isnt above tailoring their interviews according to their agenda - didja see the Beast of Bolsover ( Dennis SKinner ) mauling the Beeb hack who misquoted him on camera ?

Don't know how the Children's Crusade got into this, Peter, but isn't the traditional description of the other three "invasion and conquest".
I think the losing sides in all three cases did at first make some effort to resist the refugees and asylum seekers heading towards them.
