‘Anyone granted asylum or refugee status to flee the conflict in Syria can now go home,’ says Patrick Christys

It’s time to ramp up the repatriation. Let’s get those flights to Damascus loaded up and on the runway.

Now, there are roughly 30 to 40,000 Syrian refugees in the UK. Well, they can go back home now, can’t they? Assad has fallen.

The regime they fled from has gone. And many Syrians seemed rather happy about that. In fact, they are out on the streets partying.

We’re already seeing Syrians in Turkey and Lebanon get in cars and head back to their homeland.

Surely anyone who was granted asylum or refugee status here on the grounds that they had to flee the conflict in Syria can now go home, especially those on benefits.

Germany, who allowed around 1.2 million Syrians in there, are now suspending asylum claims. So is France and Austria.

• Luigi Mangione charged with murder of healthcare CEO in New York after being caught in McDonald’s
• Letizia and Felipe of Spain attend mass service for victims of flooding which devastated Valencia
• Assad opponents have ‘no excuse’ to remain in Britain, former UK ambassador to Syria claims

In fact, Austria is actually starting a program to deport people back to Syria right away. And Germany is already offering chartered flights.

How has our Government handled this situation though? Well, they’ve balls-ed it up, haven’t they?

Our Home Secretary decided to pause decisions on Syrian asylum cases. Good, good. But nobody told the Foreign Secretary, David Lammy, who was in the House of Commons, taking urgent questions.

This is what he had to say when he was asked by Richard Tice if we were actually suspending asylum claims: “I have to say that has not been put to me in the last few hours.

“The issue that’s been put to me is the humanitarian need in the country, the humanitarian support for our neighbours.

“I think the consensus of this House and the significant funds that we have supported Syria with should reassure people of our content to support people on the ground in the region.”

It’s really good to see that our Home Office and our Foreign Office is communicating so well, isn’t it?

What we have done is give £11million just today to the new Syrian leader, who happens to be an Islamist with ties to Al-Qaeda. .

Well, it doesn’t seem to bother the people celebrating on the streets of Britain, though, does it?

So to the Syrian asylum seekers and refugees in Britain. Hey, look, thanks for the memories. Thank you.

Your home country urgently needs doctors and engineers. Now, perhaps it’s time for you to head back home.
