No.
They can come here get a job and pay for living in the UK the same way I
do.
But I don;t see how they can if they have given all
their money to traficers for the dingy they rented.

They don't give all their money to traffickers,

So they will be able to afford to buy a place in the UK so wont need any support or benifits great lets do want Germany have done.


The we shouldn't have things like restrictions and they
mostly don't rent dinghies either, it's a one way trip for
plenty of them.

buy, rent, hire, or just pay the fare.



So I agree with taking them from the caps rather than the beaches.
I dont; understand how a syrian family can afford ot live
in the UK let alone london, were one bed flats are 300K+ .
yes sure take them to Barnsley for the free months rent
but I don't understand how they can afford it.

Depends. Many may want to come to the UK because they have family/friends
here already, and will live with them.

Yes sure they do, you see how this works on the TV, arranged marriages and
the like. And with so called extended families.....
If you say there are just 1000 syrians in the UK how many friends and
family will they have ?

I take it you're perfectly happy with non UK residents buying up property
and leaving it empty?

No more so than I am happy for UK residents to do it.
My old school is now flats being brought or rented.
If a syrian has the 350K for a 1 bedroom flat they they
can have it or my brother can or anyone else, whoever
has the money can have the property whether they
leave it empty or not is up to them.

What I would object to is someone using it to house 2+ families or
to renting it illegaly or by those breaking what I'd call serious laws.
If you don;t know what they are then for me a serious law being
broken would be using the flat for child sex or distilling alochol,
or running a DVD duplicating scam, rathe r than parking on a
yellow line, or swerving to avoid hittign a cat/dog in a bus lane.
I do not care what skin colour they have or their religious beliefs,
but I equaly don;t want to be told that I can;t report them for kiddy
fiddling because of their culture or that they are a famous DJ.
