I don't see this as a political issue. This is an urgent humanitarian issue, and if some individuals at an event with a huge worldwide TV audience can help get this message across, then it's a positive course of action. These people need help now.

I have a spare room, used by language assistants for various schools over the years.It is at the service of the refugees whenever they arrive, and welcome.
Stated in off-topic but I'll say here again. The anti-Brigada posters on the H&V facebook post of that guardian link really bug me. Shouting off about Celtic, the IRA and our veterans being more important than anyone from outside the country.Kids are fucking drowning in the sea as families escape war zones, and people are so ignorant.

These people need help now. Precisely.It isn't political, it is about human decency.Human decency should override any political considerations given the seriousness of these people's plight, of course. That being said, the link between our own government's actions in the middle east and the numbers of refugees is one almost totally missing from press coverage, which really ought to place additional responsibility on us to help as much as we can.
Governments are the problem not the people, if the suburb i live in was asked to support twenty families of Syrian refugees i have no doubt that they would be welcomed with open arms, replicate that across developed countries and that would go a long way to solving the problem. With the prime minister we have there is no chance of this happening. Save the children.
