Capitalism is a ruthless socio-economic and ideological system that creates endemic inequalities and injustices throughout the world. Imperialism and neo-colonisation uproots people and forces them to move elsewhere to look for safety and shelter. Wandsworth Council in London should be in the vanguard of providing these services for refugees.

Now is the time to rise to what is best in all of us, and make welcome people from Syria who have been through the most terrible experiences.

The Council could open Centres in Wandsworth staffed by local residents where donations of food and clothing and toys and medicines could be distributed and advice given.

Wandsworth is a large borough and could easily accomodate some of these desperate people, it is immoral to turn away.

I am in favour of Wandsworth Council resettling refugees from war torn countries. Please act now.

We're all able to sympathise with these people - and they ARE people, not statistics..

I fully endorse this petition as a long term resident of Wandsworth, We are fortunate enough to be in a position to welcome and support some of these unfortunate families. As I am sure we would hope to be helped if we were in a similar situation, we have a colelctive duty to do so.

This Putney resident says refugees welcome. Migrants too actually.

One of the few things which Wandsworth can be proud of is the way that people from many parts of the world happily live together; therefore we are well suited to accept refugees.

Of course I welcome refugees in WANDSWORTH with open arms, warmth, and support. After all it's only the way I would like to be treated if the tables were turned so let's all do the right thing and open our hearts and arms.

I wrote to Councillor Govindia last week (copied to the leader of the Labour group and and my ward councillors) to ask what Wandsworth Council planned to do about the refugee crisis, but did not receive a reply. Good to see that the Greens are on the case.

An important message for the present worsening crisis.
