Make Refugees Welcome in Gillingham, Dorset

Aylan, the toddler who drowned fleeing Syria, was just three years old. His town was under attack by Isis. His five year old brother and his mum also died trying to reach safety. Before long, unless something dramatic is done, it is likely that babies being carried on long marches on Europe's roads will also die.

Yet our prime minister is most reluctant to take more than an absolute minimum of refugees. He thinks that most of us don't care. But 38 Degrees members do care. We don't want Britain to be the kind of country that turns its back as people drown in their desperation to flee places like Syria.

So let's stand up for Britain's long tradition of helping refugees fleeing war. Let's show the Prime Minister that we, the people of the UK, are proud to do our part and provide refuge to people in their hour of need.
