In light of the Paris attacks and with the first batch of 'refugees' due to land in this country tomorrow, should Britain now reconsider letting them in?

[janbee]

Yes.

[mushroom25]

not sure why poland felt the need to do that - they know very well that refugess don't want to be in warsaw, krakow or anywhere else in poland.

why not just accept the quota, then let them take their newly acquired schengen status to wherever they really want to be - like germany or sweden.

[pusskin]

Absolutely...yes.

[retrocop]

or the UK??? :-(
Mr aog. I hope I am not being naive here but I believe Mr Cameron has sent teams to the camps in Jordan and Turkey to cherry pick those genuine refugees who actually stayed put and didn't join the rest of the rag tag chancers who swarmed into Europe. This was done, apparently, in the hope that benefits and housing would not be their priority and sense of entitlement. We shall see.

[Gromit]

No.

Refugees and terrorists are not the same thing.

Though details are sketchy, the people who attacked Paris were 'homegrown' in Europe. They appear to have been French, Belgian, German in origin and then been 'radicalised'.

We should do our best to make sure any refugees that do come here, are not themselves radicalised.

//the people who attacked Paris were 'homegrown' in Europe.//

One of them, allegedly, came to Europe a month ago among 'refugees' from Syria.

[Jackdaw33]

One thing is for sure; this will have stiffened the resolve of the Out campaign. I find it difficult to imagine anyone voting Yes at the moment.

Wow - you don't think much of the Poles, do you? Maybe have a read of this ...

Seems you got that one wrong.

[Baldric]

Of course we should reconsider it, but we won't, we'll bring them here, shower them in benefits, the life of Riley awaits.

Britain isn't participating in the quota system to begin with

[mushroom25]

ellipsis, i'm not sure how poland's role in WW2 is relevant to their acceptance or otherwise of a refugee quota. it is reported they have rejected the quota; i merely pointed out that the need not have done that, because any quote they are allocated will all have scarpered elsewhere within a few weeks.

[vetuste_ennemi]

The Paris atrocities (and ISIS too, for that matter) are relevant ONLY in as far as they're further and egregious examples (as if we needed more) of a problem that exists in every civilised country with a large Muslim population. The hatred of the West and its values (most especially democracy) which lead some to commit acts of murder is ideological and based on Islam.

Today's Daily Politics was another masterpiece of

Poland: "hypocrites, after 800,000 of them taking advantage of Schengen"

Oh, and a massive protest march, ignored by the mainstream media, due to more prominent events.

@AOG

If we really must follow-through on our promise then at least *screen* them. Maybe extract some intelligence, see how accurate their knowledge of Syria is...

No we jumped in and volunteered to take in 20,000 Syrian refugees, well at least weak-kneed Cameron did.

[vetuste_ennemi]

... masterpiece of everybody except for the Quilliam Foundation bloke getting either everything or most things wrong.

Jeremy Corbyn, for once, had something pertinent to say: ISIS are being funded by the Saudis. Neither he nor any other politician, however, will pursue the logic of that observation: that the Saudis are promoting the extreme ideology which drives ISIS by Wahhabi imams in Saud-funded mosques throughout the West.

[Khandro]

AOG; //No we jumped in and volunteered to take in 20,000 Syrian refugees, well at least weak-kneed Cameron did.//

They are guaranteed genuine refugees, and over a 5 year period.

Are you suggesting we take none at all ?

[Gromit]

AOG,
We will have to wait for a full reveal of who the Paris terrorists were. But finding a Syrian passport does not necessarily mean he was Syrian. He was probably a French national and had gone to an ISIS training camp in Syria. The rest of the cell are nationals, not bogus refugees.

The Paris attackers:

Omar Ismail Mostefai - A 29-year-old French national who lived in Chartres, south west of Paris.

Ibrahim Abdeslam - suicide bomber. French national living in Belgium

Salah Abdeslam - on the run. French national living in Belgium

Bilal Hadfi - Belgian national

Ahmad Al Mohammad - Found with a Syrian passport

Samy Amimour - 28-year-old Frenchman charged in a terrorism investigation in 2012. He disappeared in the autumn of 2013 and an international arrest warrant was issued for him.

// the camps in Jordan and Turkey//

Jordan has 12m population and 4 m refugees on top of that

I think Cam is gonna take 42 000 isnt he ?

[Gromit]

Peter,

The UK will take 20,000 over 5 years.
