Where do you get that from?
VP's resting at the moment. It's been repeatedly stated in the media (online as well as on paper) that the current wave of Syrian refugees are mostly doctors or similar, in terms of education and training. Don't believe me? Use google and your fingers.
Edited to add: Come to think of it, next time you feel the urge to troll, try using google and your fingers.
on the basis that something might happen...

Really sweetie, I do wish you'd stop implying what Dwyer does. Particularly on a more serious thread than usual.He does use his fingers. And his thumb.
Just not for googling.

Parliament voted against allowing British troops to join the attack on Syria.
From UK media reports over the last several months; from a report from Red Crescent mentioned onNewsnight; from an article in (IIRC) Der Spiegel's English section.
Then what's the point of having a Parliamentary vote on the issue? What's the point of having a Parliament at all, come to that? I hope they're held to account over this.
i understand you but i dont see how that changes anything. those who came here had some money saved up and were able to pay traffickers to get them into greece. even if every one of them still has 2000 euros in their pockets that money wont last long.I already checked Spiegel, and found only indications that the Syrian refugees, like most refugees, are the most impoverished people of their nation. If you've seen evidence that they're mostly "professionals," as you claim, please post it. For some reason, your word isn't enough.

They voted against "direct involvement", i.e. substantive numbers of "boots on the ground" on permanent deployment.
Wishing you were sleeping in a bed, eh?VP sleeping on the sofa tonight eh?
It's not merely a question of money in the pocket, it's a question of transferrable skills. Also, better educated or more highly qualified people will be more likely to be highly literate in at least their mother tongue, therefore more able to learn the language of their host country.i understand you but i dont see how that changes anything. those who came here had some money saved up and were able to pay traffickers to get them into greece. even if every one of them still has 2000 euros in their pockets that money wont last long.
Wrong again. They voted against "military action that is legal, proportionate and focused on saving lives."
Translated, that means they voted against any military action at all.
Apparently, after a petition reached 100,000 signatures in one day, Cameron is about to announce that Britain will take more refugees.

Where is the mind bleach?
Yes, from the linked article aboveBeen mutterings about this since Monday, unsurprisingly. The interesting thing will be whether the announcement constitutes a meaningful effort to assist with the crisis, or just another bit of window dressing by the Tories that's designed to disguise their "devil take the hindmost" ideology.
Those selected to come to the UK will be drawn from the UNHCR camps on the border of Syria. It is not expected that the UK will allow the number to be as high as tens of thousands.
Cameron remains convinced that accepting large number of Syrian refugees who are already in Europe will make the crisis worse and encourage more chaos, since it will only incentivise more people to undertake the risky journey from the Middle East.
Nope, it means they voted against military action that is "legal, proportionate and focused on saving lives".
In other words, non-proportionate action aimed at supporting efforts other than saving lives - providing "instructors" and logisticians, for example,weren't voted against.
Nonsense. The vote was clearly against any kind of military action. And now it has been disregarded.
Pretty much. The pressure needs to be maintained and people need to be reminded what a complete arsehole he and his associates are."Thousands more", which could mean "thousands over the next X years", but which the Tories will be hoping is read as "thousands straight away", so they can get out of the shit-pit they've dug for themselves.
