Have your say
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.

I totally agree with you Amy… They all think they will get an easy ride here. If they just wanted to get away they would be happy wherever they put their head down, but no they are picking and choosing and we are too full already… We need UKIP to sort this.
