maddyone, I don't think anyone has disputed that Britain 'did nothing' . Most of us will have had parents who fought in WW2 and we certainly grew up with it (and WW1) as a backdrop to our childhoods and young adult lives. This country fought a just war ,thanks to all those brave men and women.
I don't entirely agree with you that 'we do our fair share of accepting refugees and asylum seekers and they're treated well here'. I don't believe we do take our fair share, neither do many other countries. WE have an international disaster as a result of wars in Africa, Syria, Lebanon etc. I idon't have any simple solutions and I do understand the fears expressed by some that we lose our identity, cripple our already stretched public services if we operate an open door policy. I wish there was more international co=operation and also, that we didn't support the arms race by selling arms.
Lesbos is a small Greek island which survived reasonably well with tourism. The refugee camps on that island is wrecking their economy. If we're talking about fair shares, they seem to have many more than their fair share.
