Migrant Shame

The UNHCR describes the situation on three small Greek islands on which tens of thousands of migrant refugees have landed as chaos. Greece, its economy on the brink,  has no resources to cope and has appealed for EU help. So far none has been forthcoming. This is appalling. According to the UN most of the migrants are from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. These are all states in varying forms of dysfunction as a consequence of western military interventions, either political or military. Britain has been in the forefront of all of it. We are still members of the EU and the policy failures over the migrant issue are as much our fault as anybody elses. Time for some leadership from Cameron. The how and why these people got there is now irrelevant. They are there and they need help. Time to give it.
