My GOODNESS, Jeffrey Adams, to which obscure branch of Christianity do you profess to belong?

I am not a believer, but I would say I do appear to have more compassion in my little finger than you have in your entire body.

As usual you use obfuscation to make your so-called point.

Unaccompanied, asylum seeking children rocketing by 50 per cent.

That statement is only relevant if you give the original figure; 50 per cent of 2, 50 per cent of 20,000 – it is scaremongering at its most basic.

Do you honestly believe that to abandon your country, leaving property, possessions, friends and family, in order to seek sanctuary elsewhere, is an easy option?

These people are human beings in desperate straits and deserve compassion, not exaggerated opprobrium.

Read your Bible from which you are so fond of cherry picking - Luke 18:16 Suffer little children to come unto me.
