Letter: Shame of not providing refuge

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: According to your map of refugee distribution (29 July), Luxembourg has received more refugees from the former Yugoslavia than has Britain. Our government's attitude is as mean and parsimonious as in other matters affecting overseas aid.

Previous British governments helped to bring about the present situation in the former Yugoslavia in two ways: first, by helping to overthrow the Regency of Prince Paul in 1941, and second, by ditching the successor government in favour of Tito.

What moral worth has the EC and European union when it puts the rate of VAT before the well- being of hundreds of thousands of fellow Europeans?

Yours faithfully,
