Written on 28 November 2014:
3.2 million refugees have fled Syria. UN has asked Western governments to accept 100,000 of the most vulnerable. In Jan 2014, the govt U-turned and said they would admit 500 Syrian refugees. Only 100 have arrived under its Vulnerable Persons Relocation Scheme.
The UK and other Western nations fully supported and egged on the Arab uprisings in recent years. However, we don't want to take the refugees from all those uprisings that we love to see and fuel with our British air strikes and weapons that bring them freedom and democracy down the barrel of a gun.

My puny efforts to get passenger trains and stations reinstated on 38 miles of existing, double track rail lines in Birmingham and the Black Country. Some, such as the Stourbridge, Dudley, Walsall rail line has its middle section reserved for trams that forever prevent passenger trains returning.
