'It smells' Migrants would rather go back to WAR than live in plush centre with TV and gym
FUSSY migrants have turned their nose up at a plush refugee centre complete with a TV, gym and leisure activities after insisting: "It smells."
The migrants have said they would prefer to go home than live in a designated centre in Germany
The group of 40 asylum seekers said they would rather go back to their war-torn homelands than continue living in "inhumane conditions" at the German camp.
The Iraqis and Syrians moaned that the accommodation, housed at a school in Meschede in north west Germany, smelled bad.
And they did not wait to hear from local authorities before upping sticks and ordering a coach to take them away from the taxpayer funded facility.
Migrants have turned their noses up at Germany's migrant camp
Some would be willing to live on the streets, or even go back to our countries and be exposed to war, but we are not going back to Meschede
When the police arrived to the school on Monday night, the migrants had already booked transport to take them back to the nearby town of Bad Berleburg.
From there, the migrants explained that they would rather move back home to Syria and Iraq than go back to the school in Meschede.
One of the migrants said: “Some would be willing to live on the streets, or even go back to our countries and be exposed to war, but we are not going back to Meschede.”
Protestors have voiced their dislike of Merkel's migrant policies
When the authorities examined the school in Meschede, they could not see any evidence of any inhumane conditions.
One of the managers in Meschede, Jan Uelkes, said he even granted the migrants special requests.
He said: “One big family with children was offered a single room at the Haus Dortmund youth hostel as an alternative.”
The managers have also said that the showers and toilets at the school are only a year old and are cleaned professionally twice a day.
When the authorities examined the school, they said they could fine “nothing dramatic” about it.
It is not known if Germany will sanction the migrants and use this against their ability to get residence.

The managers of the camp did admit that since it used to be a school, the rooms are all very big and have between 14 to 40 beds in them.
However, there are leisure activities at the camp, child care, a big TV, a gym and there are German courses.
Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, has faced a backlash for her lenient migrant policies; more than 1.1 million migrants entered Germany last year.
