Read this in full to realise how this woman and her young child finely arrived in Britain.
The story brings tears to one's eyes, but I am afraid not tears of pity, but tears of despair.
Marvellous she is at least housed and her child has a place in school, more than can be said for some of our own.

Perhaps the Queen could open up a few of her houses to help a few thousand or turn a few golf courses in the rich belt in Surrey into refugee camps. No just keep putting these poor souls in the over crowded cities.
Ah, more socialist nonsense I see. Asylum seeker housing, (which, incidentally, is controlled by the Home office and is separate to the general social housing provided by local councils) isn't going to be in any rural or even suburban areas with high property values so let's not get silly and talk about turning golf courses into refugee camps.
Just to summarise this woman's journey, from the article itself ...
* Syria
* Lebanon
* Turkey
* Greece
* Smuggled "across Europe" through countries unknown to ...
* Netherlands
* "Fled" through countries unknown to ...
* Calais, France
* Smuggled in a refrigerated lorry into the UK
* Now lives in housing for asylum-seekers in Coventry, speaks to her other sons every day using the mobile app Viber, and lives in hope her asylum case will be "solved" so she can request her sons' relocation to Britain.
I think it's clear why many UK taxpayers would have a problem with this, even if you take as gospel truth the stories of why she left Syria and all the rapes and beatings en route ...

That is exactly what it is, a conspiracy. I can assure you that not many, grown up, working class people asked for, wanted or arranged this flood of immigrants. Yet they are the ones who suffer the consequences. And the guilty parties sit smugly, immigrant free, basking in the warm glow of righteousness.
