UK aided coalition of terror groups against Assad regime but appears reluctant to deal with consequences
Only a day after the Assad regime was ousted by a coalition of terrorist groups including al-Qaeda and ISIS, with beheadings and summary executions reported in various parts of Syria, and with Israel engaged in full-scale invasion and the mass bombing of population centres and government facilities, Keir Starmer’s government has announced the suspension of all asylum claims – currently around 6,500 cases – by Syrian refugees. The news comes as the British Establishment starts to discuss removing the terrorist designation from HTS, the biggest faction among the fighters.
The UK has a population of approximately thirty thousand Syrian nationals, far fewer than comparable European nations. The UK’s decision mirrors decisions by Germany, Sweden, Greece, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy, as the west pulls up the ladder on the consequences of its actions – UK and US warplanes assisted the mainly foreign, so-called ‘rebel’ groups in their war against the Assad government. Austria has said it plans to ‘repatriate’ its Syrian population.
Border security minister Angela Eagle told Sky News yesterday that the decision had been taken because the Assad regime was the reason for Syrians seeking asylum, adding that:
there is no basis at the moment to make asylum claims. We can’t measure any decision against a factual reality at the moment.
Eagle brushed aside the threat posed by the new terrorist government dominated by al-Qaeda faction Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), saying that it has not yet assumed government:
Well [Syria]’s not being run [by HTS] yet. We don’t really know what kind of regime or system will come out of the chaos that we’ve seen. We do welcome the fact that the Assad regime, which was brutal, has gone. That’s good.
The Israeli invasion was not discussed.
Abu Mohammad al-Jolani, the head of HTS, was formerly a deputy leader of ISIS and a senior al-Qaeda figure before al-Qaeda’s Syrian sub-group rebranded to HTS.

Just who the effing F thought itd be a good idea to make illeagle Border security minister>/i>???
Kinell… I wouldn’t have the creature flogging tickets at a car park ffs.
However…
“We can’t measure any decision against a factual reality at the moment.”
Doesn’t just apply to Syrian asylum seekers, does it, hange?
Every decision your government has made (and no doubt will make) is based on some kind of alternate reality.
“We can’t measure any decision against a factual reality at the moment.”
I missed that bit.
If you cannot assess a factual reality in order to make a decision, then – at least in the real world – you don’t make a decision. You stick with the status quo ante until it becomes possible to assess the objective reality – rather than your self-defined version of what it should be in order to suit your subjective convenience.
The quote is actually an oxymoron because anyone with a functional brain cell can see that a decision has already been taken despite the explicit admission that at present there is no objective means by which a decision can be made.
That decision being not to stick with the status quo ante and instead to not only refuse refugees fleeing for their lives from the chaos these tossers have deliberately created, but also to ship existing refugees en masse back into that chaotic and dangerous situation.
These people coming out with this evidence free nonsense need to be locked away indefinably for the safety of not only the general public but also for the survival of civilisation.
Otherwise, we are likely to see a lot more of this kind of situation exploding:

Well said. That they are aleady makingstatements abut their this plan says a lot. We are run by people who have no intergrety, compassionor respect for life, the one of the planet and our collective lives. We deserve better, much better.
You should know by now that illeagle (far from exclusively) puts the moron in oxymoron’
Who makes these definitions? On what basis? Using what criteria?
And whose doing the counting?
It seems, yet again, that what we are witnessing here is another in a long line of examples of the post-modernist infection of self-defining reality to suit subjective convenience which is the basis of The International Rules Based Order and its Official Narrative.
Whatever the situation and whoever is actually experiencing it, the objective reality counts for nothing. All that counts with these toddlers – at every level you encounter them – is the subjective self-definitions of these unredeemable fantasists who seriously believe that they can impose their own subjective self defined reality and its definitions onto the rest of us to the point of shoving it down everyone’s throats.
With refusal being met with various forms of cancelling and outlawing, from loss of employment, imprisonment, loss of bank accounts, punitive sanctions, colour revolutions aimed at regime change imposing puppet rulers who will do as they are told, bombings, invasions right up to and including extermination and genocide for any display of opposition to the one true faith of these sociopaths.
