Accept LESS refugees and force other countries to stand up to their obligations.
Britain must accept LESS refugees and force other European & Arabic nations to adhere to their lawful & moral refugee obligations.
Britain must not be forced to further over-burden it's struggling welfare system when other countries are geographically, morally and lawfully better placed to do so.
Asylum seekers, under European convention, are supposed to seek asylum in the first safe haven they arrive at.
Britain has one of the highest densities of population in Europe. There are already more people per square kilometre than most other European countries.
Saudi Arabia and other oil-rich Gulf nations have enough money and resource to house all the refugees fleeing the war in Syria yet proportionally they do much less whilst Europe gets criticized for not 'doing enough'.
