REFUGEES WELCOME IN WEST HAMPSHIRE

It is difficult for most of us in this country to imagine what it must be like to live in fear and to be driven from our homes and forced to seek refuge in another country. In this position we would hope to be offered support and sanctuary. I am asking that my local Council offer homes to as many refugee families as possible to help them rebuild their lives.

Why is this important?

We needed dramatic and distressing images to make us aware of the awful plight of refugees. We must put ourselves in their position and understand that they are desperate for support. It is heart-breaking and we, as a country, have been responding in a heartless way. The migrant problem needs to be addressed with long-term solutions. The refugees CRISIS needs attention now. As civilised, privileged human beings, we must surely do all we can to support our fellow men, women and children in distress.
The Government needs to be made aware that the British people will support them in welcoming as many refugees as possible to our country.
