If 'safety' is the reason for granting people refugee status, a good proportion of the world's population will qualify. Plenty of people here don't feel safe and plenty of people here aren't having their needs acceded to. Plenty of people here are suffering in one way or another, being destitute, helpless and even being left to suffer/die because they're told the drugs needed to help them are too expensive for the NHS to provide. Where's the media coverage, national sympathy and petitions for them? This awful stuff overseas has been going on for decades and I believe that in a lot of cases, this response is more about making people feel less guilty than anything else.
