War is war... and we must help all victims

When we come to the rescue we help the world fight evil

- SAIRA KHAN

The response of the European Community to the crisis in Ukraine has been commendable. The degree to which countries have imposed sanctions on Russia is unprecedented - and so it should be.

Every one of us should do our bit to help innocent victims of war.

Being of service and coming to the rescue helps the world fight evil, overthrow greedy leaders, expose corruption and restore faith in human kind.

So I felt immensely proud of my husband Steve when he said to me: “We should definitely open our home to a Ukrainian refugee. I want to do my bit.

But why, at the same time, did I feel pained?

The brutally honest answer is because I'd never seen him so compassionate about a refugee crisis before.

I don't want to come across as "insensitive” and “tone deaf” during a human refugee disaster.
