SURELY the UKIP poster, showing a snaking line of Syrian refugees arriving in Slovenia (not Britain), should move us to compassion.

Imagine gathering up our families and a few scant belongings that could be carried on our backs, and walking into an uncertain future; homes and livelihoods gone, decimated by conflict and bombing.

Jo Cox fought for more recognition and aid for refugees and better services at home for her own constituents.

May we honour her memory with generosity, not fear of ‘the other’.
