Refugees Welcome in East SussexAylan, 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. While other EU countries have agreed to resettle thousands of refugees, the home office has continued to block safe passage for Syrians in need. Since the Syrian war began in 2011, the UK has only granted asylum to 187 Syrian people. The Dublin Agreement, which stipulates that refugees must seek asylum in the first European country they arrive in, hugely exacerbates this disparity and must be changed. Yet this does not absolve our government of responsibility, especially in this time of crisis. Boats too full to safely sail leave foreign shores daily and the people boarding them do so out of desperation. Many of these boats do not make it. Many of the passengers wash up dead on European shores. Yet our prime minister has just said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. He thinks that most of us don't care. But we 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. We don't want Britain to continue to allow innocent babies to suffer until they inevitably die at the hands of corrupt traffickers. 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 as an area and a nation need to help the people of Syria and show that we are not indifferent to the sufferings of others.

Dundee City of Compassion - support for refugeesThe people of Dundee are deeply disturbed by the images of huge numbers of refugees fleeing conflicts and want to do everything we can to help these people. Scotland has a history of offering shelter to people displaced by war and persecution: in the past Dundee welcomed refugees after WWII as well as Basques, Ugandan Asians, Chileans and Syrian Kurds. These people and their families became part of our city and have made a great contribution to Dundee: socially, culturally and economically. We the people of Dundee want to keep this tradition of offering safety and shelter to those in desperate need. The scale of the humanitarian crisis at the moment is vast yet the response from many has been negative or even hostile. As Dundonians, we want to tell the people who have lost so much that they are welcome in our homes, in our streets and our communities – as we would undoubtedly be welcomed by them if we ever need their help. Dundee has been in the news recently for being the “coolest little city”. But we want Dundee to be known as the kindest little city.760 of 800 SignaturesCreated by Janice Aitken
