Yeah, it's icky but they found his finger so they know it matches the fingerprints of the bloke they fished out of the water off Greece last month.

The plan needs, and it started today, to take the refugees directly from the camps. To fly them from the Middle East camps so they dont make the dangerous journeys, they arent exploited by human traffickers, and there's no suffering on the way. And it's the UN prioritizing the first evacuations to Britain so it's the most needy - the ones that are victims of torture, the very young children with the mothers, and the extremely poor. At the moment the ones that can possibly reach England under their own impetus are overwhelmingly male, young, healthy and wealthy. Because by the time it gets to us all the weaker, poorer ones cant make it. Sustaining the European people trafficking ring is dangerous and unsustainable and it's a bad use of resources, because it's leaving all the very weak behind. And it's leaving millions of them behind. We're just getting the overspill. All resources [including the US money] should be put towards stabilizing and improving the situation in the Middle East. The Syrians deserve their actual home back, this is to be the main priority and where energy should be directed.

I tend to agree home is best. It's home!
