“We will not dehumanise, we will not demonise, we will support them.”
Liberal Youth members have made a video in solidarity with the refugees in Calais. Joanne Ferguson, who joined the Party in May and has written for this site several times, tells David Cameron: “You have the power to save human lives, use it.”

Can I just say that this is Jack Davies’ thing, not mine. He got people to give stuff in, edited it all and it’s on his YouTube channel. I was happy to take part but I wasn’t even going to do a video message.
To sum up, go Jack!

Clearly the UK is not at this point but it is incumbent on politicians from all parties to separate the issue from the people. You don’t need to support unlimited immigration to recognize that describing desperate people as “swarms” lends legitimacy to the comments of abhorrent individuals such as Katie Hopkins.

Good stuff guys, exactly the kind of thing that it’s good to see Liberal Youth doing.
Yeah, thanks Joanne! I thought your vid was epic and it deserves to be quoted. Thanks for supporting the campaign, now lets get tweeting and show people that ‘weareallhuman!
Congratulations, LY .We are 100% with you and invite you all to come to our Lib Dems for Seekers of Sanctuary stall at Conference 19-21 September in Bournemouth to make another selfie for Unlocking Detention. The UK currently detains for an unlimited time more asylum seekers/ migrants than any other EU country Let’s tell people that as well as making safer routes for refugees, we should be treating them far better when they do arrive.
