...there shouldn't be 'illegal' in humanity...go back and make yourself legal before you come knocking on our door for refuge...it's like someone turning up on our doorsteps, bleeding or whatever and saying...how it that you went past that door or that door to knock here, rather than help that person...I just don't get it...who knows why it's this country but it's missing the point of why the refuge is needed in the first place because to flip it around..these poor people have bypassed other countries where they could have had less risk to their lives...I do understand fear but the thing is, that fear starts to lose focus of what people in parts of the world are going through/what their daily lives are and in being fearful of 'young men' it loses focus of women and children../families...one of them was a 13yr old child, some were between 15yrs and 17yrs old...one elderly man suffered a fit and they were all suffering hypothermia...and they would take those risks just to claim benefits or something because maybe they watch Benefit Street while they watch friends/family/neighbours die....?...and think oh I'll have a little bit of that...


..and to be harshly blunt as well, it's really sometimes hard not to think prejudice because in cases of police brutality and killings of ethnic minorities, it's sometimes said ..stop judging, you don't know the whole facts and it's media portrayal...but this is exactly the same, it's judging and media portrayal and we don't know the facts of why it's the UK that refuge is sought...but the 'common factor' though is 'not the same skin colour' so not the same understandings/empathy and not the same humanity...and we only really have the 'luxury' of judgement and prejudice because of where our parents lived in the world...we moan and groan (encouraged by the media)...of so many in the UK claiming benefits and being so harsh on them because of it/they shouldn't be/they're not entitles to and all of those things that are thrown out...until it comes to those old overseas immigrants and then it's all ours, don't you know...we need to be looking out for own../our own that we often say aren't entitled and manipulating a system...

..the world sucks sometimes...
