ONLY THE NATIONAL FRONT IN WALES WILL PUT WALES AND THE WELSH PEOPLE FIRST!
PLAID CYMRU - THE SHAME OF WALES!
report here from wales online;
Plaid Cymru leader Leanne Wood has called for a “humanitarian response” to the crisis in Calais where more than 3,500 migrants have this week attempted to get into the Channel Tunnel.
David Cameron has warned that the UK will not be a “safe haven” for migrants and came under fire for speaking of a “swarm of people coming across the Mediterranean”.
Plaid Ms Wood said: “The disturbing and increasingly desperate situation at Calais is the result of instability in the Middle East for which the UK should recognise its part in creating. As things stand, southern European countries are bearing the brunt of the crisis and thousands of desperate people are losing their lives and thousands more are risking theirs as they flee war in their homelands.
“Action is needed now to prevent the crisis getting worse at Calais. This must involve all EU states – including the UK – accommodating a fair share of refugees as soon as they enter the EU, rather than standing aside until there’s a crisis at the UK border.
'Papering over the cracks'
“Current UK refugee policies are failing and it is suspected that the UK government will fail to fill its current, modest refugee quota.
“Plaid Cymru proposes increasing UK refugee quotas and setting specific quotas for each of the nations of the UK, in partnership with devolved governments. We further propose UK agreement with states such as Italy and Greece to accommodate refugees on entry to the EU.
“Whilst Plaid Cymru supports sensible measures to secure the Channel Tunnel for safety reasons, more fences and police will amount to little more than papering over the cracks.
“Humanitarian action is needed at Calais immediately, alongside an EU-wide effort, with the UK meeting its full obligations.”
