I\'m tired of hearing about refugees and this screams \'stunt\', despite it being a nice touch. Without being a meanie, I do question how many would go back once things settled from where they have fled from? I\'d hate to think.
Personally, I find the gesture shown by several ex Manchester United footballers to be more touching.
