Welcome a fair share of refugees. Give them back their dignity and respect!

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

The government needs to show more compassion and dignity to refugees, who seek safety from the violence of war and persecution.
Taking a fair share of refugees will relieve the strain on other EU countries; helping to prevent more innocent children dying in their desperation to find a safety!

Cameron believes that by keeping our borders closed to refugees he's echoing the voice of the nation. The two little boys who washed up on a Turkish beach today died because we did nothing to help them in their family's desperate plight.
If you feel as sick and helpless as I do at the lack of humanity being shown by the UK government then sign this petition and make your voice heard 100'000 signatures will get this discussed in the House of Commons. Something must be done. Act now!
