A migrant mother has told how she and her two young children nearly drowned trying to reach the UK by boat – but she is still planning another perilous crossing.
Of course she is. Because she's an 'asylum seeker', you see.
Wait, I thought she was a 'migrant'..? Can't you professional journalists get your labels straight?
Joan, 32, revealed that she and her son Zanyar, ten, and daughter Sidra, nine, were among 33 would-be asylum-seekers who nearly died last week when their ramshackle vessel capsized at night after seven hours at sea.
After they were rescued, French authorities put them up in a hotel for three days, before returning them to a squalid camp in Dunkirk where they are planning their next attempt.
And why? Why does this woman want to flee the safety of France?
For her part, Joan – widowed when her husband was shot dead in 2014 while serving with Kurdish forces against Islamic State fighters – said she had spent around a year travelling to France and that she had no choice but to attempt to reach Britain again.
While she previously led a comfortable life, she claimed her father-in-law took away the family home and car following her husband's death. Joan said she worked for two years as a cleaner and, with the help of her brother, who sent money to her from the UK, she managed to buy her own house – only for her father-in-law to return and take away her son, too. When she managed to get Zanyar back, she decided that she had no option but to leave.
She managed to get as far as Serbia, where people smugglers arranged for her to travel in a van to Italy. She and her children then went to France after being hidden in a container and arrived in an unknown city where she was given a train ticket to Dunkirk.
She's not an asylum-seeker at all. She was safe in Serbia. She was safe in Italy. She's safe in France.
But she wants to come here because she has family here. Well, then, apply to settle here like everyone else! Or is it because you know you don't qualify?
Calling this woman an 'asylum seeker' is like calling a burglar a 'visitor'.
All true, plus are these guys any relation to the MSM that insists you can't report on the immigration status of convicted killers as it's unfair to single out individual cases (no matter how many there)?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, if this cow gets busted five years from now for trying to blow up the London Stadium the same MSM that runs these 'story behind the story' soft-focus profiles of asylum hustlers will do anything NOT to report on the backstory.
She'll be a 'Luton woman' and you'll need to be Sherlock Holmes to find out just how she got there in the first place.
Ah the plantive cry of the benefits seeker it always touches my heart, I think. Anyone who even considers supporting these invaders should do as I did and visit the migrants camps in France. After seeing for themselves just who is trying to get here to sponge on our benefit system I defy anyone to support any but a tiny minority of the so called asylum seekers.
ReplyDelete"...arrived in an unknown city where she was given a train ticket to Dunkirk."
ReplyDeleteThe French aren't daft then are they? They know exactly how to pass their problems onto us.
"She'll be a 'Luton woman' and you'll need to be Sherlock Holmes to find out just how she got there in the first place."
ReplyDeleteIndeed so... 😒
"Anyone who even considers supporting these invaders should do as I did and visit the migrants camps in France. "
It probably wouldn't change their mind. What might is if they were housed in their neighbouhoods.
"The French aren't daft then are they?"
No, they are a lot of things, but...not that!
