We need to end the violence that has forced millions of Syrians to flee their homeland. Offering homes in the UK to 10,000 doesn't do that.

@JuliaHB1 Why can't we do both? Strive to end the violence and provide safety to those in jeopardy... -
@TheSplinterCell because providing safety for 10,000 out of millions is a drop in the ocean and is about OUR consciences, not their needs. -
@JuliaHB1 So, essentially, if you can't save them all, don't save any? -
@TheSplinterCell no, we should solve the problem that causes them to flee their homeland in the first place. -
@JuliaHB1 But do you envisage an end to hostility in Syria soon? All you hear is "the violence is intensifying"... -
@TheSplinterCell no, because the west hasn't been willing to engage properly yet. -
@JuliaHB1 Still, if a family is drowning in an ocean, it's difficult to refuse to save anybody because you can't save them all... - 2 more replies

@JuliaHB1 starting off saying you "deeply" care just makes you sound more like an insensitive cold hearted Tory#letsdoourbit -
@annoyed_aldo of course it does. To you. -
@JuliaHB1 and any other sensible person reading it . . . -
@annoyed_aldo nope, you'll find that is noticeably not the case. -
-
@annoyed_aldo you think what I said is not compassionate? Try reading it again. -
@JuliaHB1 oh but you care "deeply" just not on your door step . . .

@bigfoottreasure check out Germany's population. They have falling numbers with ageing proportion. Need more young people desperately.

@JuliaHB1 Better to let them drown then?#compassion & long term solutions -
@libdemfightbac absolutely not. But better to stop offering to take in anyone who can survive the dangerous journey, surely?
