As tragic as the little boy's drowning is I am really struggling to see why, given the circumstances, this dreadful image is making so many people we feel we should take more in to the UK. I'm not saying we shouldn't take some genuine desperate asylum seekers, but I just don'tyet see how it would have made any difference in this case

He was trying to get to Europe to have his teeth fixed, for free, according to his (Canadian) sister.

I can only hope the rumour of the father wanting new teeth is just a rumour

Pretty much what has been said on AB over the last 24hours. Not by the loony left though. Can't argue with what he says.
I'm convinced Richard Littlejohn is an AB member. I wonder who? :-)
