Should the UK take in more refugees?

David Cameron is facing growing pressure at home and abroad for the UK to take in more of the many thousands of people fleeing to Europe.
It comes after a picture of a dead boy lying on a Turkish beach sparked an outcry over the crisis's human cost.
Ex-Tory party chairman Baroness Warsi said the UK should be prepared to "share the burden" and a senior UN official said the UK could "do more".
The Victoria Derbyshire programme heard a range of views towards taking in refugees in the UK, including the opinions of Conservative MP Johnny Mercer and Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan.
