³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ from ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ
Michael Morpurgo says he finds the government’s current response to the refugee crisis ‘shaming’.
'Over the centuries', writes Michael Morpurgo, 'we have been a safe haven to so many, and they have helped make us the people we are today - at our best, a deeply humanitarian people. I fear we are not at our best today'.
Michael argues that, although we need to address the issue of people smuggling and deaths from dangerous Channel crossings, we must not lose our capacity for kindness and 'generosity of spirit' towards those who need our help.
