“Old, deeply engrained systems take time to change, but we can't leave it to time.”

“The Islamic State does not want us to open our doors to their refugees. It wants them to be hopeless and desperate.

It wants us to huddle in our houses, within our own social groups, and close our doors in fear.”

“If our values are worth anything, we should stand up for them and live by them, both within Britain and across the world.”
