David Cameron faced accusations of heartlessness after he insisted Britain should have no refuge over the war-torn Middle East, such as community groups willing to show that councils in the UK are willing make thousands more.
The Prime Minister knows that he and Interior Minister Theresa May, will be pressed on the issue of migration when Parliament returns next week, but some senior MPs Tory said he expected Cameron to change their land after distressing images of a drowned child, who had been found stranded on a beach in Turkey, it was viral.
Cameron insisted that the best solution to the crisis was to bring peace and stability in the Middle East. During a visit to Northamptonshire he said: “We have taken a number of bona fide asylum seekers from the fields of Syrian refugees and keep under review, but we think the most important thing is to try to bring peace and stability in that part of the world.
“I think there is an answer that can be achieved simply by taking more and more refugees.”
But in a sign that the political temperature was rising theme, Cameron faced calls to make both the Catholic church and two Labour leadership contenders.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, said: “It is a shame that we are letting people die and seeing dead bodies on the beaches, when they are together, Europe is a place so rich.. We should be able to design a short-term response, not just a long-term response.
“It is no longer an abstract problem of people in the scrounge. It’s not. It’s people who are desperate for the good of their families, their elders, their youth, their children. And the more we see that the more the opportunity a policy response that is a little more generous, is growing. What is screaming is the human tragedy of this problem, which can be more generous. ”
Yvette Cooper, the shadow Home Secretary and Labour leadership candidate, accused the prime minister to give back to the immigration worst crisis since World War II.
“We is heartbreaking what is happening on our continent can not continue giving back to this we can -.. And we -.. Do more if all areas in the UK took just 10 families, we could offer shelter to 10,000 refugees are not going to look back with shame for our inaction. ”
May Cooper urged convening a council leaders to discover how many refugees Local authorities are willing to take. The task of organizing a conference is being delivered to the citizens of the UK, the campaign group of the community, and there are signs that the conservative-led some municipalities to offer help.
Conservative leader of Kingston upon Thames council, Kevin Davis, has already written 50 tips led Tory to ask them to get involved in a scheme run by UNHCR, the refugee agency of the United Nations, to help find private housing refugees for a year.
