Miliband warns about UK double standards

UK former foreign minister has joined others politicians calling on the government to shoulder its responsibility towards the refugees fleeing the war in Syria and other conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa.

David Miliband also warned that continued failure of the government to fulfill the responsibility amounts to an abandonment of UK’s legal and humanitarian traditions.

Miliband went further saying:” The strict limits Britain has placed on the acceptance of refugees represented a double standard that would ultimately undermine Britain’s influence abroad.”
