The guy is from Hull in East Yorkshire. If he's calling you thick Pud then there are Tube Worms in the Marianas Trench with more intelligence than you. For shame.
I am pleased this government is prepared to look out for the Syrian refugees. Once they have recuperated and been given the support they need, they will hopefully return home to help with the rebuilding of a great nation. I have been lucky enough to visit Syria (1999 and 2003) and I can honestly say they were two of the greatest trips of my life. The people were kind, considerate and hospitable, and the week spent in Damascus left me continually spellbound.
