Looks like he's done well, then let him pay to meet his family else where. I feel it's an excuse to get his family into Britain, nothing more.

Manchester bombing changes peoples views, not a young gay man who likes making clothes

Then go home.

1. You have no right to be in the UK. It is a privilege. Use it as such. 2. You do not have the right to demand policy changes. 3. If the UK had less illegal immigrants, it could take in more refugees. Looser laws hurt refugees. So why do you want to make them looser?

I'm sure he does

Time to go back to Syria then mate. The war is over.

I knew I shouldn't have come and read the comments 😑

Actually he’s done really well, & if all refugees had his business head & work ethics then there wouldn’t be such a stigma. Good for him....

The war is over, it’s time to rebuild syria it’ll be easier for you to be reunited with your family

So, instead of fighting to make your own country better, you run and demand other countries change their laws so you can bring everyone from there to here? Not sure that's a useful long term strategy!

This is what they all do.Sneak one in and lobby for the rest.When they are living on relief,themselves.Form advocacy groups.Cry the. blues.

Go back to them then

No. Individual cases don't make national policy.

If he wants to be reunited with his family perhaps he should return to Syria?

You Brexit to avoid this. How do you think it will work out for you.

I want a ‘57 Chevy BelAir, but I’m not demanding the British taxpayer buys it for me.

He can have his wish by going back. I'm sure the Home office would help out.

No

why not escape to france or germany were they have open door policy to refugees and i'm sure they will fly your family in.

What sort of man leaves his family in a war zone?

So made it to the UK. Got a uni place and a life here and now wants his 6 siblings + parents over = 9 family members. Who's paying the house bills food rates. The sounds of 'I want I want I want' chime

He earned thousands of Euro’s working for the western press and with it paid a people smuggler who provided him with forged passports (highly illegal) and plane tickets he flew from Athens (safe)-Brussels(safe)-Spain(safe)-Glasgow and immediately jumped out and claimed asylum

Poor guys lonely and missing his missus 😂

Why didn‘t you take them with you in the first place?

He can be a man and go back and help his family back in Syria. I'm told the war is over. Remember our men did in 1945.
