Boris Johnson slammed by ex-Archbishop for failing to heed plea for child refugees

mirror.co.uk:

Boris Johnson has been criticised by a former Archbishop of Canterbury for failing to heed a plea to help child refugees. Rowan Williams hit out after the Prime Minister did not respond to a letter from 250 faith leaders, first published in June.

The letter accused the PM of not doing enough to extend help to child refugees, including those in Europe with links to the UK.

It added: “We call on the government to embrace that humanitarian spirit and as our Prime Minister, we urge you to act now and offer child refugees safe passage.” Campaigners Safe Passage International say the letter, originally an open letter on its website, was sent first to Conservative HQ, then to a top government faith advisor, then to the Prime Minister himself.
