"The scale, complexity, and urgency of today’s humanitarian crises are unprecedented. There is no easy solution and we cannot help everyone but we must do everything in our power to help as many as possible. Europe must stand up for its values and live up to the expectations of many European citizens. Instead, we see a commendable action from our German colleagues and sheer panic in the voice of many other European leaders. The European Union is not just about grants, development funds and the single market. It is about values. This is our chance to show the world that the EU is committed to the principles of liberty, democracy and respect for human rights – the freedoms we all hold dear. While the UK Government struggles to show leadership, Scotland stands ready to offer sanctuary to refugees. The Syrian civil war, now entering its fifth year, is the main reason why we see a mass exodus of refugees, until their homeland is safe men, women and children will do anything to find safety. As our First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said our response will be judged by history and I also hope that the next generation will be proud of our response."@en1
