#HeadlineTherapy Days without migrant boat crossings nears longest stretch in seven years.

Thanks Ian Jones of the London Standard for this headline

We have reduced the human story behind these journeys to a line graph showing that according to records the last attempt by someone to reach the English Coast from mainland Europe across the channel was on the 14th November.

There is the data in black and white, no matter what the truth is . The boats have not been crossing. Which does make me think that the authorities know exactly where these boats are, when they are leaving and where they eventually land for them to be intercepted. That is if they don’t sink in between and then if this is so why aren’t they all rescued?

I feel like waving the graph at the lunatic fringe who go on about immigration being the cause of all our ills and stopping the boats is what it’s all about. I wonder if it would satisfy them. They’d probably say the migrants have no backbone as they can’t stand the cold. There will be hoards of them in the summer.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading.πŸ™
