The Red Cross lost my support when it refused to display anything to do with Christmas in it’s shop windows.I agree with the comments before me.

Thank goodness, refugees have finally got some positive press!

If this country is ‘bollocks’ then feel free to move. Most of us are fortunate enough to have that freedom.

If most of us can’t afford to go out then the refugees won’t be able to either. I don’t know where you’re getting your facts from but as soon as they arrive in this country, refugees are in exactly the same position as the average English citizen; they have no privileges. Most do not live under their own laws – they follow ours.

You have a house, halfof12, which is more than can be said for some people. The stories about refugees being given housing priority is also a complete sham.

It’s disappointing to see so many comments buying into the Daily Mail’s usual paranoia and negativity.

Congratulations Yahoo! on supporting this initiative. We should be setting an example to other countries in welcoming those who have been denied democratic rights elsewhere, who have faced war or natural disasters, who are under threat of torture or violence and have been forced to flee their homes. There seems to be a lot of ignorance around the plight of asylum seekers and anything to celebrate the positive contributions they make has to be good news.

Don’t ask us to help refugees when we cant even hold St Georges Day, why ask us to pay the price of their countrys dilema when most of us cant afford to go out anymore, as for living under our laws as mdnss69 says thats not on either, most live under their own, if you don’t believe that come to where i live, and i cant even get a larger home which i need as a CVarer for my wife due to these people taking everything first. British Labour Party you say, ugh! no fear, this countrys gone bollocks.

This is a disgrace. Britons can’t even hold a St. George’s day parade without being called racist, now the refuges who are living here, under our laws, under our protection, in our culture, are having a larger say as a minority group than the majority group. I ask you, is this fair or right?

Shame on you Labour party, shame on you
