UK refugee advocates pressure government to bring in the Syrians

It is just a short piece demonstrating that the drumbeat has begun to pressure western governments to resettle Syrian refugees in order to supposedly take the pressure off of Turkey and other Muslim countries.   This is Syria’s civil war, right?

From Ekklesia:

Leading UK refugee charities have called on the Government to work with European Union member states to establish a resettlement programme in the UK and Europe for Syrian refugees.

The Refugee Council, Refugee Action, the Scottish Refugee Council and the Welsh Refugee Council are calling for a co-ordinated effort across Europe to relieve some of the pressure on the burgeoning refugee camps on the Syrian border.

Readers in the UK should be closely following the ‘work’ of the groups making up the refugee industry in the UK.
