Refugee Crisis Reported By the Bbc

A permanent fixture on the news over here on the BBC Is the Refugee Crisis so much so it may just as well be given it's own individual segment And the general running theme throughout is how we aren't seemingly doing enough for them Or treating them in the way or in the matter they are accustomed to or were expecting due to according to their human rights But given that they come here uninvited without any form of official documentation and as a country we are struggling to provide for our own And yes i know what I am about to say will be deemed by some as not being politically correct or unemphatic But whatever happened to that little thing called gratitude towards your host and not complaining about everything and everything and nothing being good enough But hey then again I have to stop and remind myself They are all refugee's and asylum seekers Wanting nothing more that just to flee political repression human rights abuse and the war raging in Calais France And are willing to do whatever it takes to escape and get here even if that means making the treacherous perilous 23 mile journey across the channel to England in a rubber dinge And put not only their own lives in danger but their children's lives at risk as well for want of a better life And how bad must thing's be in Calais France if none of them even wanted or wished to stay But it must have been worse than whatever reason or place made them escape or leave in the beginning And obviously England according to the news accounts coming out reported by the BBC Ain't much better either
