I suppose they're all sitting round cosy campfires singing boy scout songs.
If you suppose that you are deranged!

"In the camps they are safe from war". That's all right then.
No. They are safe from the war, but far from all right.
Why do you make statements like that Steve?

You're not listening. Around ten million Syrians have been displaced. Around five million are in tent cities living in terrible conditions.

I do not need to listen to you. I Know!
I was trying to make an issue of this when just one million has been displaced.
See my attempt to get it discussed on the very first Syria thread, started by me.
It was you who was not listening.

The people we see on the move are a tiny part of a massive humanitarian crisis.
Yes. The ones with thousands to pay for the journey.

Around five million are in tent cities living in terrible conditions.

Yes, but they would not be living in terrible conditions if other countries gave as much as Britain.
Far more than any Eu state, second only to US, and in proportion to our GNP more than any country in the world.
