Quite possibly.
But nowhere near as small-minded as some of the posters on this thread.

They stop being true refugees the minute they decide a refugee camp isn't good enough for them or they travel through several safe countries to get to the promised land of the UK where they'll be given housing, benefits and food. As soon as finance becomes the main reason for wanting to go somewhere in my eyes they become economic migrants.
By all means, help the genuine ones held in refugee camps - we've spent £900m on them already over the last 3 years, but the swarms of 20 and 30 year old men who are marching towards the UK, Germany etc while the Govt is considering sending our young men and women the other way to fight IS is ridiculous. And assuming you're not deliberately trolling and being obtuse and genuinely believe our young men should be fighting Islamic fighters in Syria instead of Syrians who instead will be tucked up safely in their new council houses then I pity you.

As I understood it, we (as in the UK) are taking people from the camps.
So - do you agree that they are 'true refugees'?

Who said anything about believing our young men should be fighting Islamic fighters in Syria?
Do point out the post in which I stated that.

As for trolling, anyone starting a thread such as this on this board instead of The Arms or DT should look in the mirror first before accusing anybody of trolling.
