Me being very vocal about this stuff, because I strongly disagree with it, even I was quite moved when I read this.
A young mother killed crossing the channel bringing her children is awful to anyone with any human empathy.
Thing is though,.and without casually dissmissing this and her tragic death…(I aint ) , it illustrates a number of valid points.
Firstly the futility of all this, as to what constitutes ‘asylum’ .
Correct me if I am wrong but it is to reach safety from persecution from an opressed or war torn state I thought.
So when they have left behind a NUMBER of safe countries to get here,
why do they want to risk their lives coming to a small island when they have already achieved safety on the Euro mainland.
It is nothing mote than for the incentive of free benefits and facilities that we as a country can not afford, and nothing to do with the literal definition of ‘Political Asylum’.
The young girl wanted to become a dentist and learn English which is all commendable, but that does not excuse illegal entry into any country, and what is wrong with learning dentistry (and English) in mainland Europe, rather than risking, and in this case losing, life.
A waste of life eith a girl with potential which could and should have been prevented.
Not to put too fine a point on it either, but it also illustrates how the left wing press excitedly and gleefully jump on a negative story like this, usually tragic ones, involving women and children crossing the channel.
It’s purely for their own warped agenda, to dispel what they try and tell us is a myth (it aint it’s a fact) that the VAST majority of these economic migrants are young fit men…we see them in gangs walking our streets, usually menacinglly, well those of us with our eyes open, but evidently not the lefties.
Yep all already overly discussed ‘old chestnuts’ granted, but given the current cluster ■■■■ of a state we are presently in has MUCH to do with all this, …and the fact that it is being brushed under the carpet, denied and ignored by our new illustrious leader, it needs discussed and pointed out again and again !
