Brits have taken to the streets to let refugees know that they are most definitely welcome and it’s bound to give you the warm and fuzzies.

Thousands of activists are pounding the pavements of London with welcoming banners and signs.

The past fortnight has seen an outpouring of grief following the harrowing picture of Aylan Khuri.

In the hope that other refugees fleeing for lives don’t meet the same fate as they attempt to reach the safer corners of Europe, Brits have donated their time and money to those affected by the refugee crisis.

There’s thought to be a traffic-stopping 10,000 people taking part.

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK

John Major praises 'guts and drive' of immigrants in the UK Comments: Mr John Major  is right about migrants in the UK and worldwide. Most of  migrants  leave their countries as asylum seekers fleeing persecution, lack of freedom and human rights abuses. Other leave their countries just to look for new opportunities.
