I couldn't read that letter without doing it in his voice, so only made it halfway through the first para. What was the gist of it?

Maybe things might have been quite different if she had been blond and blue-eyed ... ?

I just try to imagine what she has to do to breathe and get through each day now. How many people do we know who gave birth to 3 children who all died of sickness and malnutrition? Nobody actually seems to feel human respect for this major loss she has suffered. The question of 'who supplied the sperm' and under what cicumstances seems to be most relevant to demonising her.

Obviously a bit of a psychopath though isn't she?

Couldn't she do then just buy a passport from the Government? That's how it works for the rich, isn't it?

She'd surely earn enough to afford a ticket in a channel dinghy.

$250000 would get her a 'golden visa'/citizenship in Latvia which should enable her to get back here easily enough. It's on.

Pundits on BBC believe eventually the Government will have to let her back in. Very few civilised countries are now taking the UK line ( and that includes the Yanks ).

These camps contain some bad people that their countries of origin would rather not have to deal with. I'm pretty sure the people that are involved in running the camps are well compensated.
