Britain's Home Secretary Priti Patel (2L) speaks to Afghan refugee Malalai Hussiny (C) who arrived on an evacuation flight from Afghanistan, at Heathrow Airport, London on August 26, 2021.
I AM very concerned that our county can only offer to help so few refugees and the article, ‘Refugees fleeing Afghanistan could be welcomed to Herefordshire’ seems to doubt our suitability for them.
Why? This sounds like a ‘Not in My Backyard’ excuse.

I am ashamed that we have not immediately offered a serious increase in the number we can accommodate.
