Trading people

We read of the new EU arrangements for refugees; they solve the problem.

We met individuals in Lesvos, people like us. They happened to have lived in Syria, Iraq or Afghanistan, rather that England. That was the only difference.

The words of the press releases read as if the mothers and fathers, grandparents and children we met, were cattle: some to be sent to country A, some to country B.

This is wrong. Ultimately, wrong is always wrong. Subsequent reports add a further dimension.
