When war broke out, his wife pleaded with him to return to her and their three daughters. Fatefully, he did.

RT @johnelworthy: Am I naive in thinking that if UK issued asylum seekers with temporary work visas this could solve several issues at once? Each applicant for asylum reviewed 6 monthly? Visa extensions possible? Crisis in agriculture, hospitality, care eased?

RT @Lord_Snoooty: @AkanKwaku The reason we are having an explosion of small boats is after #Brexit the Dublin convention no longer applies. Under that convention we could return any migrants back to France. Once we left that no longer applied meaning less control of our borders not more. #Projectreality

😱if true this is a serious wake-up call! For the BBC, but also for U.K. politics. Just awful. The risks to staff and residents near the centre were horrific, leaving aside the awful sense that migrants are a target.
