Rejected petition Allow the 1000 refugee children in France immediate access to the UK

Two days ago a 14 year old boy trying to climb on to a lorry heading for the UK was killed. 400 children in France are living in the so called 'Jungle' but have already been granted asylum in the UK. A further 600 are waiting their fate.

More details

If we are unable to show compassion to the young people of the World what hope is there for Humanity? The Government need to cut through the red tape and allow all 1000 children into the UK without any delay, i.e. TODAY before any more perish. The young boy who was trying to reach the safety of his family by joining his brother in the UK died unnecessarily and this must stop. Allowing 1000 young people to live in fear and anxiety when they are on our doorstep is a scandal
