Rejected petition Britain must accept its fair share of refugees seeking safety in Europe

The latest pictures of a dead child washed up on the shores of Bodrum must serve as a wake-up call to David Cameron. No longer can we turn a blind eye to the plight of needy people fleeing war-torn countries. It's time for Britain to accept a quota of refugees alongside other EU countries.
