I find this channel tale sad, for the little girl, his daughter. Ahmed Alhashimi had been in Europe 12 years, arrived from Iraq, I believe he was registered in Belgium and his daughter was born there, I know he and his family had lived In Sweden for a number of years. The rest of his history is jumbled, he says his asylum claims had been denied, and they wanted to deport him back to Iraq, he says his last option was the UK, where his 2 daughters could get a decent education.
So if the rest of Europe wouldn't grant him asylum, his last chance was the UK, unfortunately he didn't make it. One point I would like to make, those living in absolute poverty in the UK, or part of a family living in one roomed B&B accommodation somewhere far from a school. Would you pack your bags and move to the EU, somewhere with decent weather, warm much better prospects, for health, housing, education and chances of accommodation. Unfortunately the women (If single) and her kids wouldn't be allowed to stay in the EU because the UK isn't a war zone, yet those arriving in Dover without documentation can claim what they wish, yet everyday we see more and more evidence that the migrants are economic and that is all.
France and the rest of Europe doesn't want them, sleeping rough without help is the most on offer, now they are bypassing the UK and turning up in Eire, but they aren't welcome there, so they are fucked. If the father is still alive, he should serve some prison time, brutal it might be, but he caused the death of his daughter, the little girl had spent 12 years in Europe, born there, it was her home and I am sure she could have stayed there, along with his other daughter.
