A "knee jerk" reaction forced upon him by public and political pressure, to a problem he should have been addressing for months. Even then, Cameron leaps to the wrong conclusion either by accident or more probably design, and fails to recognise the reality.    The refugees in the UNHCR camps on the borders of Syria, although not l iving in the lap of luxury, have the basic necessities of food, shelter, water, sanitation and medical care provided by the UN and other voluntary organisations.  Refugees wait to board a train at Budapest ...

Once again royals are given a view of the world from inside a carefully constructed bubble, rather like the "Gents" sign on the public toilets in the railway station being covered up so that the passenger on the train is not embarrassed as the Royal Express thunders through. Perhaps the couple should have been taken to the Zaatari refugee camp or even the Bashabsheh camp, just two of the many camps established in Jordon for refugees from Syria.   Syrian refugee children at the Zaatari camp Al Bashab...
