THE Government has reduced the number of unaccompanied refugee children to be admitted to the UK from 3,000 to 350.
This is because local councils say they have not got enough money to look after them.
As a result of this, Lord Dubb, backed by high officials in the Church of England, presented a petition with nearly 50,000 signatures to No 10 Downing Street urging the Government to admit the 3,000 total as originally agreed.
If Lord Dubb, Archbishop Welsby and 2,648 other signatories of the petition agreed to take one child each the problem would be solved.
Watch this space. You may see pigs flying in it.
