‘It’s a powder keg ready to explode’: In Greek village, tensions simmer between refugees and locals

First point: When did “Lesbos” get re-spelled?”

Second point: How did *anyone* ever think this was going to go well? What’s the end goal here?  So many refugees have been dumped onto this island that the options for the future all seem pretty bleak. I think the best of all possibilities would be a flotilla of transport ships, load them all up and transport them to Syria and dump them off en masse. An army of a few hundred thousand refugees (taken not only from “Lesvos” but Paris and Malvo and Rotherham and Arizona) could probably make a pretty good dent in the Assad regime.
