Re: Unstoppable migration?

Quote:
Campaigners say they have identified almost 400 refugee children living in the so-called Jungle camp in Calais who are eligible to come to the UK.
They have urged Home Secretary Amber Rudd to accept the children - many of whom reportedly have family in Britain.
The list is to be handed in at the Home Office, on the anniversary of the drowning of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi one year ago.
The Home Office says it already plans to transfer 150 children this year.

I wonder what sort of additional provision is going to be necessary to deal with those who have been badly traumatised by war, torture, etc. Let's face it, the mentally ill have been getting a pretty raw deal in the UK for years and we have male suicides at record levels and the single largest killer of young men in the UK. If these are truly the most vulnerable, then a good many are going to have been badly scarred by events and need a great deal of support.

Meanwhile, try getting help for your very own young adult with mental health issues...

Still I'm sure the great and the good will do their utmost to ensure there are adequate resources for all those in need as opposed to those who are in the news.
