MIGRANTS

The questions we need to ask are related to the push factors which are making their lives at home untenable. Much like the situation for Jews, trade unionists, etc. in Germany in the 1930’s. fleeing from conflict – who is providing the weapons? Fleeing from man oppressive regime – who is funding it? Fleeing from environmental / climate change – who is generating this?

Many of the asylum seekers come from countries that suffered from military interventions by our government (and yes labour has blood on its hands – Tony Blair). I am a bit surprised that we have not had more migrants coming to get a jab! We have been pathetic in supporting the rest of the world. We have rolled out vaccine to 20-40 year olds to ensure night clubs and other activities can open for economic reasons, rather than saving lives in poorer countries. Actually we have cut aid to these countries, but might have offered them some nearly out of date vaccines.
