  • Refugees Welcome in Waverley
    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. Yet until very recently our prime minister said ‘we won't take any more refugees’. Now he has been forced by public opinion to change his position, but he remains vague and evasive, claiming that we should take only refugees currently in camps in the Middle East, not from among those already in Europe. The defences at French Channel ports, meanwhile, are being reinforced. David Cameron 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.
