It is coming up to Christmas, that time of year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, who fled Israel when his parents saved him from The Massacre of the Innocents. The thing is, when his parents sought asylum in Egypt, they did so illegally, being required to remain so Jesus could be murdered along with others of his age.
Today, if his parents tried to seek asylum in the UK, they would have to cross the channel illegally to do so, risking death. The reason for this is because there is no safe and legal route for many to come here who are seeking asylum That is, or course, if they wanted to come here. Other nations take in more refugees than we do.
