A poster which mocks the recent arrival of child refugees in the UK has been taped in Parliament's kitchen.

Onwurah said the poster appeared over the weekend, above the sink in the communal kitchen near her parliamentary office.
It coincided with press coverage by some British tabloids of the arrivals of child refugees in the country from Calais. Several newspapers questioned their age and suggested refugees claiming to be minors were actually over 18.
It led MP David Davis to call for dental checks to establish their age -- though the Home Office later rejected his position.
"Upset someone in Parliament thought it funny to display this in the communal kitchen over the weekend," Onwurah tweeted.
The poster was found by Onwurah's researcher Sarah Pine, who said the kitchen is used by 17 MPs from Labour, the SNP and the Conservative party.
"I think it demonises and dehumanises Syrian migrants - I think that is xenophobic," Onwurah said.
"To demonise and reduce people fleeing Syria, when we've seen what they are going through, to a meme basically saying they are liars and dishonest - I think it is offensive.
"I want to make sure it doesn't happen again and I want to make it clear that it isn't acceptable."
A Commons Spokesperson said: “It is against House rules to display offensive materials on the Parliamentary Estate. This is inappropriate behaviour and the poster in question has since been removed.”
On Monday, some 1,200 French police and officials started to clear the so-called "Jungle" migrant camp in Calais, which has been housing 7,000 people.
