As you say, they are our brothers and sisters in Christ, and they are just looking for refuge as our Lord's family did.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875708145472914122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-83012034926410854652015-08-17T17:08:46.766+01:002015-08-17T17:08:46.766+01:00We thought the programme was well done, facts with...We thought the programme was well done, facts without sentiment or sensationalism.

I have spoken out when untruths have been written about the situation in Calais, and immigration in general, and have been told by one blogger that I ' live in cloudcuckooborough' because of my views, whereas in actuality I live in a town which had 20% of its population declare themselves to be black or Asian at the last census, and which has a growing Eastern European population. Unfortunately, the situation in Calais is inflamed in people's minds by the use of terms such as ' swarm' and 'marauding' by those in government, and by the right wing press which so many people read and believe to be unfailingly correct in what it prints. There are those who believe that people who are in Calais will arrive here illegally and be given money and a house ( I have read such comments on blogs). Those entering illegally are far more likely to find themselves living in terrible conditions, and being exploited by an 'employer'.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.com
