I think you'd be a very refreshing home sec! Hi, Nick. Thanks for that insight. It is a terrible thing to lose hope.Welshcakes Limoncellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209759237794290941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-61129266646279796612013-10-30T11:09:03.911+01:002013-10-30T11:09:03.911+01:00Having met and spoken with several people who spen...Having met and spoken with several people who spend years in refugee camps in the Middle East and Africa before being allowed to enter the United States, I have a slight understanding of their experiences. One woman was born into a Middle Eastern refugee camp and spent the first 19 years of her life living there. For most of those years she had no idea what life was like beyond the camp.<br /><br />The one thing that all of these immigrants spoke about was “hope.” Each of them had struggled to maintain a sense of hope for a better future. They told me stories of people, including their relatives, who had given up, who had lost hope. These were sad stories. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16939152657551690867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-77160465661584079382013-10-29T20:15:06.030+01:002013-10-29T20:15:06.030+01:00It's awful, all that "sorrow"...

I once saw a clip on TV of this thin, bedraggled African man literally washed into a crowded Italian beach on the tide and these shocked sunbathers giving him water and not being able to communicate with him and not knowing what to do... it was truly shocking. And of course you CAN'T go to the police because they'll just call him an illegal immigrant and do God knows what.<br /><br />(I'm (theoretically) ANTI illegal immigrants by the way but EVERY TIME I see an individual case, I think they should be allowed to stay! Wouldn't make a good Home Secretary now, would I??!!)Gledwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09308172310486574510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26674022.post-71172736206725493462013-10-29T19:33:31.649+01:002013-10-29T19:33:31.649+01:00It is an alarming and depressing scene that you pa...It is an alarming and depressing scene that you paint. At present, it seems to be smaller places like Malta and Sicily who are bearing a disproportionate amount of the brunt of this sad situation.

It's really a big problem, I think no one knows what to do about it. Saucy Sicilianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10044337117600868975noreply@blogger.com
