    Wow the sexism and xenephobia in this comment section is mind boggling. Steve seems lovely , and how kind and compassionate to let someone stay in their home!

    Deborah is amazing and inspiring. I adore this woman and the work she is doing to humanise the views of privileged people toward people seeking asylum. #peoplearepeople

    It’s an incredible thing to do. I’m glad Steve has been able to find stability, and I’m heartbroken for those that still haven’t.

    The amount of negative remarks on this just shows how low humanity has become. Don't you people know that a vast majority of Syrians (especially from Damascus) are highly educated and have a rich culture. Oh and guess what, he can speak better English than the majority of idiots commenting on this story. Good for her and I hope he does well. And as for "running away" I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and see what you'd do.

    So many of the commenters here are disgusting people. Deborah is doing something nice for a person who needs it and all you can do is be sexist, racist and generally vile. Some of you need to work on becoming nicer people, rather than abusing someone who has more kindness in their little finger than you have ever had.

    A friend works with disadvantaged people asylum seekers and the homeless in the North of England.The migrants will use the services to better their life chances, will attend appointments, take english lessons, volunteer,get their kids into schools.Before long they no longer need the services cos they've moved on , found work ( if permitted) and accommodation.
    Some of their British counterparts don't take the help available either because they cant or they wonnt. .

      What are his skills?besides being handsome perhaps. You got to be joking if you think he was actually an architect by age 18 in his home country. All I see from him, is he is a hermit that spends his time in his room making Marijuana Bom pipes out of glass. A machine bought and paid for by that sexually frustrated hag who's maintaining him.

      She's not only Virtue Signalling, she also getting her "rocks off" from having a young man in her house. Imagine living in a world, where a man hand selects a highly attractive female refugee. And then uses her in order to promote himself. Meanwhile behind the scenes he's forcing himself onto her. Its amazing what a woman can get away with.

    "He rubbed off on me". Wow. That's going beyond the call of duty. That was a slight misquote for comedic effect. She can borrow that one if she likes.
    Seriously, It's a huge burden for a lady to have a handsome, agreeable young man on the premises, isn't it? He looks after her cats as well! And no doubt the government pays her lots of rent for him to stay there. I'm overwhelmed by her kindness and trust. I notice the husband was too ashamed to show his face. Can't say I blame him.
    When the beautiful young Syrian man leaves and goes to Oxford at the taxpayers' expense, will she take in an Eritrean ex-boy soldier? Or an illiterate camel herder? I'm eagerly awaiting the follow up.

    • @seujorge1989
      @seujorge1989 Před 6 lety +1

      Automatic Red flag! "My cat thinks Steve is her boyfriend" What? This is a real insight into her psychological brain and true intentions with Steve. What's sick out of all of this, is that she's using virtue signaling, while getting her rocks off from having a young and handsome male around her proximity. That fact that society doesn't catch on to her and praises her. Is the most disturbing thing, a Red Pill male sees through her true intentions and how pathetic they are to stay relevant. You think she cares about her husband? she will gladly replace him for Steve and man who can give her the beef injection.

      Sorry to break it to you but the refugees who survive are the people with money to buy transport out of violent situations. Poor people don't have the money to flee. Think of it as if your town or country suddenly became a violent, lawless place. Or a natural disaster makes it unlivable. Would you have the money or means to get to safety?

      Yeah I was going to say! Refugee doesn't mean poor. Wars affect rich and poor - but like Orange said, its the rich who would find it easier to flee. He can be middle class but lost it all in the war. Loosing you money doesn't make you loose the plum in your mouth :)
