I cant see why they would flee a war zone and cross about 7 countries, that doesnt make sense, a few hundred miles is usually enough

Well I have to be honest given a choice or an opportunity to either sit in another sh*t hole next to the one I'd just left (which is at risk at becoming the next country under siege from these lunatics) or trekking to grass further afield, I know what I would do and it wouldn't be wasting my life waiting for the politicians to sort it all out :roll:

Countries like Greece can't support their own citizens let alone refugees, I'd keep walking but I was referring to Turkey and countries bordering Syria.

The UK is supporting refugees overseas with millions of pound in aid and preparing to take migrants from the camps out there

so why are so many still getting the fast crossing to Lesbos?

is it the ISIS invasion?

BOOM!

They are also helped to charge their phones http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-34171687

Don't worry though because if you read down far enough on this link you will read that some taxi drivers are over charging, even in these circumstances
http://uk.businessinsider.com/refugee-c ... ers-2015-9

I like this link, and, I'd like to know why people think that all refugees are poor. They are fleeing war and opression. Genuine refugees are not economic migrants
