FOR THE SAKE OF OUR LIVELIHOOD AND OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE WE NEED TO STOP THIS MADNESS AND GET A GOVERNMENT THAT WILL LOOK AFTER ITS PEOPLE.

So they automatically get a home while the uk homeless have to wait up to 5 years or longer to get a council house .

The government is putting them before native Britons, THAT is a problem.

I'm Polish and I lived in England! In Polish primary school they taught me "England is a capital of Europe"!! In the last few years I felt as unwanted guest because of government, so I left same as a lot of other families!! I wish all the best for British brothers in the future, I hope you get more profits from emigrants from Asia and Africa, I feel sorry for you but this country losing control about what's happening
All the best anyway!

How sick and evil do you have to be to want to send back innocent victims of torture to their war torn countries? Many attitudes in the UK are shameful. I think the same islamaphobes would be the terrorists if the situation of Syria happened here. Same hate.

for the cost of resettling 20, 000 Syrian refugees in Britain you could probably resettle 200, 000 refugees in the middle east, closer to their own culture and communities. We all know the only communities that will actually pay the price of such immigration are the Lower class urban communities with a further fracturing and replacement of their already diluted and eroded communities in the UK

[KrunoslavStifter]

This implies that migrants will want to cooperate and follow the rules, so far many haven't, it was very ordered. Sound like an interesting plan, but I have my doubts of holding up to the pressures of reality.

Poor people we need 200, 000 not 20, 00

[delboy]

NOW I KNOW WHY MY BENEFITS HAVE BEEN CAPPED

[kathleendelaney]

They must stop being so tolerent the burker needs to be banned we need to see who we are talking to

[keterpele]

you guys are afraid of 20k refugees lol

[karims]

20, 000. Pathetic, we need to let as many Syrians into the UK, if British soldiers can get through Syrian borders fine then why shouldn't they?
