Mythbuster! “Most refugees come to the West”. Actually 85% of the world’s refugees are hosted by developing countries. Turkey – the only OECD country to feature in the top 10- hosts the most refugees, followed by Uganda , Pakistan, Lebanon, Iran, Ethiopia and Jordan.

There can be few acts of greater evil than the massacre of peaceful people at prayer. The attacks in #NewZealand were terrorism of the most despicable kind, callously planned and motivated by the scourge of #islamophobia. All faiths and people of goodwill are united against hate! – at Sunderland, England
