The pictures of Aylan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy found washed up on a beach in Antalya, Turkey, appear to have (finally) brought it home to the British commentariat that more must be done to help those refugees currently fleeing from war and dictatorship.
As such, David Cameron is coming under increasing pressure to let in more refugees. Up to now the prime minister has responded that Britain is doing a great deal to help refugees – but by spending money on aid to be sent to the areas where people are fleeing in the first place.
But are the prime minister’s critics right – should Britain take in more refugees? Or is Britain, as the PM likes to point out, already doing its bit?
Have your say – the results of the poll will be published early next week.

Poverty world-wide is a universal thing and why the wealth inequality will perish thank-goodness.

I agree they perhaps should, yet bringing down mass western elites a far cry better and healthier on the whole.

Perhaps not and yes no.
What is very clear however is that class socio-economic divide within western communities will soon collapse for the greater good and human civilization will find a brave new existence.

Agree Mr.Fatty – the wealthiest will hopefully perish and a new brilliant human civilization shall emerge and once again humans will be free and rule their own existence – I pray to the holy ghost that I get my place in a renewed world of de-populated existence. It is why my cherished and much loved pets died and why I hang on to the hope of fending for myself one-day and not on government hand-outs that undermine my need and want for unpopular survivalist attitude.
