Bob Geldof offers to share his home with Syrian refugees

Bob Geldof has offered to accommodate four refugee families in his London and Kent homes. The aid campaigner and singer said he felt sick at seeing images of three-year-old Syrian Aylan Kurdi’s body being washed up on a Turkish beach. He said he would be willing to take three families immediately at his place in Kent and a family in his flat in London. Geldof criticised the limited response from governments to date and said he decided to put his money where his mouth is.

I look at it with profound shame and a monstrous betrayal of who we are and what we wish to be.
