Signed. This morning's Herald had an article by David Pratt, a very experienced foreign reporter, who has strong views on this subject. I was left feeling quite disgusted at the attitude of our government to these poor children, so I was delighted to sign the petition - thanks, Jess
I wish there was a way to know that it's a petition that I've already signed. That's three times today I've been told I've already signed a petition. Not that it matters that much. I'd rather waste a minute doing that than not sign something I think is important.
There is growing pressure on the government to do its bit to help the EU look after unaccompanied child refugees, currently in Greece, Calais, Macedonia and other locations. Some of them have lost parents during their flight. Some have relatives in this country who would like to give them a home if David Cameron would allow them into the UK. All of them are at risk. It is thought that large numbers are disappearing - possibly being abused and exploited. Please see this article in The Guardian, written by a Tory MP - one of the ones who voted against the government on this issue, earlier this week. www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/apr/27/refugees-children-at-risk-voted-tory-whip-stephen-phillips
Yvette Cooper and Alf Dubs are doing a sterling job keeping this issue live in Westminster. Yvette made a powerful speech - see link.
