Yep, what's your point? This is what happens when your country is in civil war.
Here's one of London in a non civil war..

The best case even from the fugee advocates is that 65% of the 'refugees' swarming into Europe are adult males (14% wombyn, 20% chirruns)[1]. It's previously been admitted to be as high as 75%[2]. Anecdotal eyeball reports on those penetrating further into Europe put it at up to 90% adult males, presumably due to some sort of benefits seeking Darwinism[3].
This is in contrast to the actual fugee camps on the Syrian border where the male/female ratio is 50/50[4].
Perhaps we're getting abnormally craven ones.

I wasn't posting it to make any point.............just cos it's a cool bit of video. You lot seem to have racism on the brain...and it's always the same people The fact there are so many single blokes amongst the genuine Syrian refugees is apparently because the blokes get sent away to try and find somewhere else to live and then summon the rest of the family when/if they do/don't. It is a pretty perilous journey after all. ____________________ Space Is Deep

Not sure if you're agreeing or disagreeing or neither, so I'll just add that I totally agree it seems there is a majority of males coming over, and definitely a fair few will go for the refugee thing, and they're lying. I was just saying that as far as MPD's comment goes, it was silly to suggest any of those people had actually left their wife and kids in any warzone.
I suppose some of the blokes might have left their family at refugee camps and then head into Europe on their own. That's not good either. |

Not all Syrians in Turkey, Jordan, The Lebanon etc are in camps. Some, who either moved there early on in the troubles or don't like to accept charity, have been renting, mostly in areas of squalor and, as the adults aren't allowed to work, are now running low on funds.
Options are very limited, that's why so many are risking so much to get somewhere in Europe, preferably somewhere where they'll be able to work and pay for themselves and their families.
And before you all get yer biggot sticks out, I'm not talking about those from elsewhere than Syria, although some Afghanis and Iraqis for eg do have similar circumstances. There is of course a growing number waiting to capitalise on others misery.......that's inevitable, desperate times call for desperate measures . I'd like to know if, when Al Assad finally "does one", all his followers will follow him to Russia  ____________________ Space Is Deep |

I suppose you can't provide any proof to back this up either?
Where do you get all this guff from? Turkey doesn't have a black market for labour? What a priceless naive idea.
I suppose you think they're not one of the top countries for counterfeiting, corruption and hunan rights breaches too? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Good question............no permits maybe? Not allowed to leave Syria legally...House just been bombed and now homeless, (11 million displaced persons)? Do they still have civilian flights out of Syria? I dunno TBH. I suppose those that can afford to, have left for better climes, it'd be interesting to find out how many. Don't forget Syria was badly failing in the years aproaching 2011...massive youth unemployment, high taxes etc...which is part of the reason for the original demonstrations.
EDIT; Ah...it turns out Turkey banned Civilain flights from Syria flying in Turkey air space in 2012  Also, I think a lot of the military airfields outside of Damascus and the pro regime areas were seized by Rebels early in the war, the remaining commercial air-fields are now used for military flights. Besides, who's going to be mad enough to fly over syria in a commercial aircraft?
The air Force has a special place within the regime, mainly because Bashars Dad and fellow butcher Hafez was from the airforce. The most feared Regime Intelligence Service in Syria is the Air Force Intelligence. |
Which makes sense, but getting to turkey overland doesn't seem to be the issue. If anything the boats to the EU are using turkey as the jump-off point.
I read an article that interviewed a syrian middle-class couple. Their lad had was just about to graduate uni, so to avoid being drafted in the assads army they wanted to send him to europe: Understandable I guess given the situation. So they were saying how he will be making his way to turkey then have to pay thousands of euros to the traffickers etc etc.... So if he's in turkey, why not just catch a flight to germoney?
It would be cheaper and safer to just fly. You could get a flight to Sweden and those swedes (YES!!!) would basically be getting on their knees to give you a BJ as soon as you step off the plane......
I just looked up Anakara to Stockholm: £62-120 this week depending on day. |

From Wikipedia:-
"The secret police prevents people from even approaching embassies of foreign countries, making it difficult to get a visa to travel abroad. Furthermore, Syrians can not leave the country without an "exit visa" granted by the authorities.[12][28]
Article 13 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights provides for the human right of Freedom of Movement as such “(1) Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state. (2) Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and return to his country.”[29]
Despite this universal human right travel within Syria is discouraged, by both the government and the rebels, and both Extremist groups and the government have imposed restrictions on the freedom of movement on the people of Syria. Bans have been said to have increased significantly since 2006, though exact statistics are hard to come by as secret security agencies are commonly the ones issuing the bans.
The Syrian Constitution, in Article 38(3), allows freedom of movement “within the territories of the state unless restricted by a judicial decision or by the implementation of laws of public health and safety.”[30] From 2011 to 2015, the last four years of the Syrian war, the freedom of movement has been most widely restricted in certain areas and on certain individuals. Restrictions vary between regions, partly because of continuous fighting in certain areas. In rebel held areas there are severe restrictions on the movement of government supporters (or people thought to be government supporters). Foreign diplomats are unable to visit a majority of Syria, and are often not allowed outside of Damascus (Syrian capital)".
Probably the only people allowed to leave are those that the regime knows will come back. It's the making and implication of these type of laws that led to the protests in 2011. ____________________ Space Is Deep |

I got as far as the bit 2 sentences in about Syrians can't leave their country, before I saw the severe flaw in your argument.
Apparently a few million have managed it in the last few months. Leaving Syria clearly isn't a problem.
Can a Syrian not catch a plane in Turkey is more important. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.
