We should welcome all Syrian refugees, but refuse entry to those ones wearing Liverpool shirts.

Did you see Jed Bush-(Jed haha have they a Bubba Bush as well?) wants to have picture of Thatcher on $10 note or something ?

Respect to your country Chou for taking so many Syrians.

Tbh, most of them don't have anything near a decent living here. Unless they already had money to start a business or find work (which is hard seeing as unemployment is over 40% for young Lebanese people let alone Syrians) then they have to either live in slums in the suburbs somewhere or worse in refugee camps..

Though it has gotten a bit better in the past year or so due to A LOT of work by many NGOs here you can still find people living under bridges and in public parks and you can still find children begging around busy intersections.

The fact that public schools can't accommodate both Lebanese and Syrian children despite running morning and afternoon 'shifts' coupled with the unwillingness of a lot of Syrian parents to send their kids to school means that thousands of children are not getting an education.

The lack of funding for UN organizations and NGOs helping Syrian and Iraqi refugees has been nothing short of disastrous. Then you have the worryingly rising racism against Syrians even in main stream politics among right wing Christian sectarian parties in particular which peaked about a year ago but has thankfully started to decline as everyone has started to see that all the fear mongering was pretty baseless.

But overall for most Syrian refugees they stand very slim chances of being integrated into mainstream Lebanese society and being able to lead a decent and rewarding life.

Still, it puts other countries to shame, especially others in the region and has to be commended. I think Jordan has taken a hell of a lot as well.

Bottom line, is they would rather be living in a stable Syria, and are victims of circumstance. During the Kosovan crisis, 4000 + Albanians came to Britain amidst all the usual corporate media scare stories that theyre gangsters/benefit scroungers etc. Anyway, the point is, refugees in the main tend to return when conflict ceases. Once the Balkans had calmed down, less than 150 remained

Daily Heil has had a pop at him for an unkempt beard.

It's a lot better than Cameron's ham face

I liked it when Vic Reeves said his face was like a painted egg.

His policy about allotments is why I like him , the kind of thing no one else cares about , but could really improve the country.
