RIP and I hope the poor sod's death isn't weaponised. That's probably a forlorn hope. We don't know the circumstances of this case, but as a general point I think it shames us the way we treat refugees. It shouldn't be difficult to treat claimants fairly but firmly and remember that these people are often very vulnerable. Speed the whole process up too and it would save us a good amount of public money. But I suspect our current govt are not interested in actually solving a problem from which they can generate political capital. It's a mess the next administration will have to tidy up. We need to be exerting a lot more pressure upon the bad actors in those parts of the world that are producing the refugees too. At the moment there seems to be an endless supply of refugees fleeing political and military persecution. We can't do much about those displaced by natural disasters, but we can seek diplomatic solutions to try and improve political instability or regimes blatantly abusing human rights (even though we're also eroding our own moral authority on human rights at the moment - but gain, that's something the next administration can hopefully begin to reverse) |  |
