The term of ‘illegal migrant’ has been nurtured and the media repeat it as fact. It’s designed to whip up hate & dehumanise - there needs to be a pushback Seeking asylum is legal & has been for 74 years, since the UK signed the UN Convention on Asylum Seekers in 1951 @northeastbylines.co.uk

As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
