    Even children fleeing war are not welcome here according to the UK government. Let that sink in.https://twitter.com/jessicaelgot/status/829354596799827968 …

    Government ends its commitment to Alf Dubs' amendment to take lone child refugees. Cameron suggested it would be 3000. We took 350.

        'We'? As someone who works in social care, where are the children's homes with space for 3000 and who will be the carers?

        The care sector is chronically understaffed. How can we magic up the care staff to support these children?

        Maybe by stopping wasting resources on bombs making them refugees in first place? Crazy I know....

        You still need the care home places and staff. Recruiting care staff is difficult. Also not enough foster carers.

        so leave them to die/be abused and exploited? Pretty sure we could manage... Sweden/Germany taken 10s thousands.

        We need to be careful not to confuse 'cant currently take addtional 3k' with 'no more, ever again, full stop'?

        It's a question of looking at detail of, and asking for clarity on, ANY policy/stance by ANY party at ANY time, for me.

        Do I think we should take the 3k yes, absolutely, if we can house / relocate safely to checked & vetted locations & people.

        I agree. However, it's symptomatic of the nastiest, vilest and most right wing government I have ever seen.
