I Thought It Was Only The Children Who Were At Risk, But It Now Seems That It Is Also The Women, Shall We Then Take Them In As Well?

How can they have siblings if their parents aren't with them?

//How can they have siblings if their parents aren't with them?//

The same way that they could have parents who aren't "with" them. Doh.

[Zacs-Master]

Less of the 'dohs' eh ? You're reasoning may be clear in your own head but it's not being communicated very well in written form.
Do you assume that a) they all have siblings and b) they will all successfully petition the government for them to come over here?

Mrs May should be ashamed for going back on her word over the Dubbs amendment....she supported it before she was made PM. She has been duplicitous, in the extreme.

These people are in France. If they are in danger, and I don't doubt that they are, then France should be doing its bit.

But Britain should be doing its bit as well.

[Zacs-Master]

Crikey, she can't win can she? Either she's complicit in this countries downfall due to letting them in, or she's complicit in barring them from coming in!

One has to ask why are there so many lone children?

Have their parents been killed, and so they suddenly say to themselves "damn this, I might as well sail across the Mediterranean and then walk right across Europe and then perhaps caring England will look after me".

"After all I do speak the language".

[Togo]

No aog they saved up their "pocket money" then paid a trafficker.

Have a read of this AOG

And now she is PM, she is not only in the position to know of the implications, but also has the power to correct unwise earlier decisions.

/// But Britain should be doing its bit as well. ///

I think that Britain has already done more than her bit.

[Jackdaw33]

Duplicitous is a term more appropriate to Diane Abbott then Theresa May.

[Zacs-Master]

So why ask the question?

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

The UN Refugee Agency For Central Europe???

No axe to grind there then?

/// Some become separated from family during long and dangerous journeys; others are sent alone with traffickers and smugglers by parents desperate to deliver their children to safe havens; ///

All prime candidates for their parents to later catch up with them and then demand being reunited with their off-springs.

A much easier gateway into the UK, than having to stowaway on transport.

[Zacs-Master]

Yes I'm sure you're right. They deliberately send their children on, some as young as 5, to be abused and almost starve as they knew, presumably via their crystal balls, that Lord Dubs would, someday, announce that there would be a scheme whereby they could access Britain. The parents were also sure that they would be reunited with their children (who obviously wouldn't bear any ill feeling toward them) as were such a soft touch. Yes....that definitely seems plausible.

[Zacs-Master]

Oh, and why would the UNHCR lie about the circumstances of their being unaccompanied?

[Jackdaw33]

ZM thinks he's being sarcastic but he's not.

[Zacs-Master]

ZM thinks you should team up with AOG and become the next Brothers Grimm. The name certainly fits and the fantasy is the same.

/// Yes I'm sure you're right. They deliberately send their children on, some as young as 5, to be abused and almost starve ///

It was not I who said that but
UNHCR

*** others are sent alone with traffickers and smugglers by parents desperate to deliver their children to safe havens; ***

But then as you have already put;

/// Oh, and why would the UNHCR lie about the circumstances of their being unaccompanied? ///

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

None of this is fantasy Zacs, only to those such as you, who tend to wear rose tinted specs and live in cloud cuckoo land.

[Zacs-Master]

So why did you ask the question? You're still spouting unprovable nonsense but fail to tell me what 'the consequences' of letting in 350 children is?

[anotheoldgit]

Zacs-Master

/// but fail to tell me what 'the consequences' of letting in 350 children is? ///

I refer you to my 11.51 post.

And it is 3,000 children Dubs wants to let in.

Now that I have answered your question, please respond equally by answering mine.

"Shall we let the women in also"?
