Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey said in The Telegraph that the disproportionately small percentage of Christians among Syrian refugees resettled in the UK shows ‘institutional bias against Christians’.
Christians made up 10% of Syria’s pre-war population, but are less than 2% of refugees coming to the UK. He observed that the present government made a manifesto pledge of ‘supporting persecuted Christians in the Middle East’ and put the blame for the failure to implement this largely on politically-correct officials.
