Speaking in Washington when asked about the ongoing refugee crisis, The Rt Hon Dr Liam Fox said:
“It is time for the international community to accept its moral responsibilities and create a safe zone in Syria using its military capabilities. The pitiful sight of families risking their lives to escape the thuggery of Assad or the barbarity of ISIS is beyond endurance for most decent people. Doing nothing is a policy position which has consequences we cannot tolerate. There is a world of difference between keeping out economic migrants from Africa and Asia who simply want a better standard of living and those who are fleeing from the most inhuman behaviour we have seen for many years”.
