last I checked there are no restrictions on employment of Syrian people in the EU/UK, unless they are related to the government or military etc.

You just said you didn’t know and now all of the sudden you do?

It seems the harder restrictions were lifted in 2014 in the EU due to member state disputes.

I said that I'm not sure, but that I doubt it. I then spent some time checking, and couldn't find anything to support your claim. If you have any sources that EU countries are forbidden from employing "normal" Syrian people (now or even before 2014), I'd love to see them. Otherwise, it really feels like you're just trolling to be honest.

Yes I am wrong and will admit it. Certainly not a troll!

Why don't we go and look? We do have the internet.

Well, there is nothing about restricting general employment of Syrians in there.
