Refugees Welcome in South Hams
Offer to home 50 refugee families
Why is this important?
We should be deeply thankful that we live in such a beautiful and safe part of the world. Surely we can show some kindness towards people caught up in world events which are completely outside their control.
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.
At the time of the so-called Vietnamese Boat People South Hams was active in offering safety to people who were fleeing Vietnam. We can do this again. 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. We can do this and tackle the dreadful trafficking too. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
