YP Letters: City's response to those who seek sanctuary
I FOUND the recent article ‘Inside the ‘disgrace’ of Yorkshire’s asylum seeker postcode lottery’ excellent, well researched and balanced.
The comments column, however, made a depressing read.

At the last count 176 organisations, large and small, across Bradford had signed up to commit themselves to welcoming and supporting asylum seekers and refugees.
I am proud to live there.

YVETTE Cooper needs to put her brain into gear before putting her mouth into motion. I, and many others, are not against helping refugee children, but many of those allowed in are obviously not children – some must be in their 20s by the looks of them.
