. What we send is peanuts compared to what Turkey has spent.

Not true.
The neighbouring countries only provide the ground for the camps.
The refugees are supported by international humanitarian aid.

We do not have homes to offer.
We have to house an extra population every year much bigger than that of Greater Manchester.
That increase far outstrips our ability to build.
We have had a shortage since WW2 and every year it gets more hopeless.

Germany's population has been falling!
They need more people.
The inescapable fact is that every newcomer here deprives someone of a home, a school place, a GP etc.
We should give what we can.
We have money. We do not have homes.
