COUNCIL TO DISCUSS PLANS TO WELCOME SYRIAN REFUGEES
Syrian refugees could be housed on the Isle of Wight whilst their asylum applications are considered, if plans by the Isle of Wight Council go ahead.
http://www.islandecho.co.uk/news/counci ... n-refugeesJust to clarify - they are moving five families to the Isle of Wight. Five.
Scott Gulliver Don't welcome them! Worse thing you'll every do! Muppets

Laura Willcox Our soldiers fought for our country to keep it British and keep us safe does that not mean anything to our 'British' people anymore
Ben Goddin U watch the crime rate will go through the roof especially sex crimes these people are animals
Hollie Dolly we all have our own problems, our lives aren't rosey it's hard enough as it is to survive without all this...
Jim Simms Spot on David Crawford. Would they be seeking "refuge" in the UK if we didn't give them benefits galore and houses!
Seek your refuge in the nearest safe country if you're a refugee!!
Natasha West Jaimie no one says it is there fault...neither is it the islands or anyone that lives here..or in the UK, so why should we all take responsibility for something forced upon us? Everybody knows the refugees could have been made very welcome in many adjacent countries, but NO Cameron has to be a hero & say we will take them! Well no we won't, our Island services are disgusting short staffed into almost non existent..refugees will need these services in order to live here, if there isn't enough now then there won't be tomorrow, what I'm saying is THE ISLAND cannot afford to take in people in such desperate need for these services...
Lee Cotton Doesn't surprise me!!!strawberry floating useless pricks!
Rosie Savage No sorry you have your own country live there
Julia Nash Really! not enough houses to go round already, without bringing any more people here, I wouldn't mind but most of them are men looking to rob and pilage.
Joe Jd Mckee They are not refugees they are migrants.
Naomi Lordan I love the way some people are pissed off with others not wanting them here, I'm not against anyone and totally understand why they would want to run away but why are the men not staying in their country and fighting for it??? I'm pretty sure all the men in world war 1 &2 did not want to fight but they did so for their country! Isn't that how it should be.?? I personally cant see that helping a few would matter but unfortunately as written more would definitely follow (alot). I have alot of family on te mainland and one is a teacher, not far short of 40% of the sch is foreign which is not a problem apart from the fact they talk no english what so ever, I'm sure that will not help our children if all the attention and effort is working with children that font understand. Feel sorry for them all but my family and their future life is priority so the less the better
Rosie Savage It's all there own fault though if you do your homework it's civil war therefore they are messing it all up for themselves
Matthew Eyeball Hull Great less jobs for islanders
June Brett Well council will be sorry. There are not enough houses now Why should we keep them.Should send then all back to there own country.
Wayne Staff we don't want them on our island.
Naomi Lordan Maybe the refugees had more guts back then! If they are so great why do they not fight for their country mat?
Patrick Murray You wait until the church in Newport becomes a mosque,then support them run away cowards!!
Blakey Thomas i cant belive all this nasty hatered is all for 5 familys! you talk about houseing, not one of ya mentioned second home owners, the nhs is f****ed cos its being run down and sold, its not the refugees buying up the nhs its the second home owners! share holders. if ya want get angry get angry with the people who make you and your familys suffer, and have some compashion for gods sake.
Martin Coombes The problem needs to be addressed at Source!!!!! David Cameron said months ago but got shot down by all the flipping lefties this country has which has now seen Europe being invaded by Isis under stealth
Duane Sibbick Tell them all to fuckoff,
Jessica Fiona Brown House your bloody own first !!! I'm sorry there country's wouldn't help us simple they are runny away from
Somewhere people are trying to sort out we didn't run away when the wars were on did we no when London and places where being smashed to bits they know life will be easy here yes we should help with more aid ect but don't send them to somewhere that's got high unemployment and can't even house there own people this is asking for problems there is enough racist views here as it is
Tony Flux strawberry float them Syrian banana splits off don't need them piss stains banana splits
Jamie Stone Not our problem
Edmond Brown I heard that two going to move the french camp to cows
Clinton Sard They can bugger off back home to where there from
Pete Bradbury strawberry float right off
Pamela Mitchell I hope they don't spoil the island by letting in these people,I am sorry but they don't live the same way as we do and have no respect for what is beautiful
David Cleasby Great, low crime rate out the window, even harder for our youngsters to find work and housing. The island is over populated all ready so god knows what it will be like if this happens.
Naomi Lordan Maybe the refugees had more guts back then! If they are so great why do they not fight for their country mat?
Roger Lane We dont want them ,we have enough families that need housing , Sorry send them back to there own country
Jamie Park strawberry float rite off with that gooseberry fool
Lenard Shilcock You seem to be intent on turning the Isle of Wight into another Calais. What the hell is wrong with you?
Tina Brown I have a mainland family.next to me. No respect for the neighbourhood. Flytipping and haven't cut the grass in months. . Spectrum Housing association useless rude and very unhelpful. Hope they don't house them. The other association south.wight much more professional.
