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.

Broseph said, ## Obviously this country has the best future for her and her family. What's hard to understand? ##

What I find hard to understand Broseph, is there are many British people born and bred here, that don't have what she has here!

[Broseph]

/What I find hard to understand Broseph, is there are many British people born and bred here, that don't have what she has here!/

Guilt maybe?

[B00]

"What I find hard to understand Broseph, is there are many British people born and bred here, that don't have what she has here! "

Like what?

[Svejk]

A house? An astounding sense of entitlement?

[Mamyalynne]

//Hanan says: “I want to thank the British government for everything they’ve already done to help me. I’m very grateful.”//

[B00]

And there's many British born and bred who don't have these svejk?

[Mamyalynne]

She may also desperately want to work but the Government won't allow it until her status is resolved.

[ummmm]

Yes, Mamy, my cousin is married to a man from Trinidad and it took him a few years to get a work permit.

You have a hard working person being stopped from working. (he obviously works now)

## "What I find hard to understand Broseph, is there are many British people born and bred here, that don't have what she has here! "

Like what?. ##

Like a house, furniture, TV etc, clothes, food, benefits, and probably a school not to far away, that a lot of UK Mums don't have a choice with.

[B00]

I disagree trt, she'll not be receiving any more help than anyone else would do on benefits.

[ummmm]

trt...how many people do you know with nowhere to live, no clothes or food to eat?

[Zacs-Master]

"living in a sparse terraced house in a run-down suburb of Coventry."
"Now relocated to housing for asylum-seekers"
I really don't see a problem here. In fact I'm proud that we have taken her and her son in.

[Svejk]

I'm not. Why don't you have her in your house.

[ummmm]

Why do people say daft things like that?

Just because you're happy to live in a country that helps people in need why would anyone take in complete strangers into a house that is probably just big enough for them and their family.

[baza]

Didn't someone say about walking in someone elses shoes to know, many of us have not lived in war torn countries. nor know what it is like to split a family to try to save ones child. I was lucky to be born in this country at the time of the birth of the NHS. I need for nothing.

[Fusion5]

So why didn't she stay in the Netherlands with the family she has there. No they all want to come here, benefits and plenty of help. Just waiting now to get her other two sons here. More school places to be found.

Sorry, it is horrendous what these people face, but what happens when we literally are at breaking point in this country. We can't help everyone for gods sake !

[Zacs-Master]

If you read the article, she was raped in front of her son and so fled here.

[ummmm]

The media would have you believe that people come here, get benefits, and a free house.

It's not as simple as that.

## trt...how many people do you know with nowhere to live, no clothes or food to eat? ##

Dont know personally ummmm, but take a walk in any big city's in the UK, and you will see plenty living rough, and some are ex-soldiers!!!!!

[Svejk]

As I said before, this terrorist's moll was in a safe country. To wit, to whoo, Turkey but 'they don't look after you there'. She's since been in at least 2 European countries. Presumably they didn't 'look after' madame to the standards she considers she deserves.
I'm very much in favour of genuine asylum seekers, however, if we fill the country with her ilk there really will be no room for those that really need it.
