Or is he? I don't really know much about UKIP but this is peculiar.

1. Farago (sic) is no more human rights centred than the next headline

His general opinion is that refugees can be let in but must be "real" refugees, i.e. no homosexuals fleeing oppression, no women fleeing forced marriages, no climate change refugees. After that test is passed he generally wants those refugees to support themselves - or else be kicked out.

UKIP wants the UK out of the EU, it is a single issue party; to that end it distorts and manipulates information about the EU and supports some positions that Ted Cruz would find regressive.

2. I would agree that Syrian refugees are a different case

but have no concept of how they could be housed.

3. So it boils down to this

Keep Syrian refugees away from European countries but send them money.

4. Sending funds is an alternative

providing its properly managed. Don't change the fact they do need a roof over their heads even if its only prefabricated shelter.

The situation in Haiti for example remains appalling due to complete mis-management of huge donations.

5. Article from Torygraph suggesting that this is about Farage moving closer to Tories.

It's a fairly sycophantic piece though. I'm not sure it's all that believable to be honest.

6. As always, Farage is Farage-centred.
