Petition Have a referendum on whether the UK should accept any more refugees.

We are constantly hearing politicians say that the people of the UK want the government to act and either sign8 up to the EU refugee redistribution plan or accept more than the 20000 that we have already agrees to.
They should hold a referendum before presuming that the people want more here.

More details

We are constantly hearing the media call them refugees and say they are escaping danger. They aren't. Once they leave Turkey they are economic migrants. The UK has a chronic shortage of social housing and the influx of refugees that are safe in Turkey will make it worse and young people will stand even less chance of getting there own home.
We are not racist we just want the UK s government to consult the people before presuming they know what we want.
