I care deeply about the plight of Syrian refugees. I just don't think offering a golden ticket to UK for the lucky few solves real problem.

@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... -
@TheSplinterCell of course they should be saved. But only making that crossing cos of promise of life in EU. They weren't doing it before. - 1 more reply

@JuliaHB1 So how do we end the violence my lady? -
@Bf28Edward with more violence, I'm afraid. 'Twas ever thus. -
@JuliaHB1 I guess you mean a full war against Assad. Maybe, but God knows where it will end up! -
@Bf28Edward could it be much worse than it already is?

@JuliaHB1 tell that to the 10000 who would have been killed by asad -
@London_NY_2013 no, those 10,000 have already fled Syria and are safe - and have been for months and even years.

@JuliaHB1 yes, peace is the answer. Good look with that. Meantime, people die. So maybe helping out while we work on peace is a good idea. -
@qqtx a very inefficient way to help a few people while leaving millions more to rot. How do you choose most deserving? -
@JuliaHB1 you can't. You just have to do the best you can.
