Syrian Refugees During Covid-19.

[ynnafymmi]

During the height of the Syrian refugee problem a lot of people such as Nicola Sturgeon,Bob Geldof,Yvette Balls-Cooper and her husband and Lily Allen all took some of these refugees into their many roomed mansions.During this corona-virus pandemic are all these refugees still with their hospitable friends?Just wondering.

[naomi24]

I expect so. They're clearly all very big-hearted.

[ynnafymmi]

A lot of cynics on this site said these kind-hearted people never took in a single refugee.In fact some of the more cynical said they never intended to,just said it to boost their right-on credentials.Does anyone on this site know the actual figures for how many each individual took in?

[bookbinder]

I have searched the internet, and I can not find any confirmation that those people have actually got Syrian refugees living in their homes. I have found several promises, but real action seems to be absent.

[ynnafymmi]

So,basically these people were"talking the talk,and not walking the walk"...in effect using the desperate plight of these refugees for their own ends.Despicable.

[gness]

I don't see why they wouldn't be. You don't know that they were talking the talk.....I do know Geldof wasn't. They've all probably helped more than you have.

[ynnafymmi]

Do you know how many each of them took in,Gness?A few people have said they didnt take in any.

[KARL]

Maybe you should just believe what you want to believe.

[ynnafymmi]

Eh.

[KARL]

....until you are able to establish reliable (repeat, reliable) facts.

What does it matter? This has nothing to do with coronavirus, just seems like a chance for got to "boost your right wing credentials".

Just because there's nothing online, it doesn't mean i trying it hasn't happened.

[ynnafymmi]

What facts do you want,Karl?I dont do links,but as far as i know all those named stated that they would take in some Syrian refugees.Later,Lily Allen backtracked and said she couldnt take in any refugees because she had young daughters in her home.

[Deskdiary]

True Mozz...but I’m willing to be they didn’t.

The thing I took exception to was Lily Allen apologising on behalf of the nation for people stuck in the camps.

She sure as hell wasn’t speaking for me.

Its got everything to do with corona-virus,Mozz.Are these Syrian refugees which these people took in self-isolating or not self-isolating?

[ynnafymmi]

Thanks,bookbinder.Back to you Karl and Mozza.

Bizarre

Or should that be buzzare :-)

[ynnafymmi]

Bizarre is not the word for it,Ich.I still havent had an answer to my question.Are these refugees still living with their welcomers and sponsors or were they never taken in the first place?

[fender62]

so called celebs who pontificate, are full of ***, but expect the tax payer to pick up the tab, while they grandstand...poor diddums.

[fender62]

let's not forget the POOR footies players, on a mmm over a £100 grand a week, so frickin hard done by, pi%%..off.

[ichkeria]

Your question is bizarre. For a start, how would anyone here know, and second, what has Covid19 got to do with it?
