Britain’s response From the leaders: “already welcomed 216 vulnerable Syrians to the UK.” Furthermore, “since the crisis began we have granted asylum to nearly 5,000 Syrians and their dependents.” The UK Government has offered to accept 20,000 refugees over five years. Many people feel that we should take many more. One retired judge said the UK could cope with taking in 75,000 a year.
