Lampedusa

Text of the day: “Migrants don’t hide their taxes in the Caymen Islands. Migrants don’t privatise the NHS. And migrants don’t scrape together their life savings, leave their loved ones behind, bribe and fight and struggle their way onto the undercarriage of a train or into a tiny hidden compartment of a lorry with forty other people, watch their mates die or get raped, all for the express purpose of blagging sixty-seven pound forty-six pence a week off of Kirklees District Council. People just don’t act like that.” (Denise in Anders Lustgarten’s Lampedusa)
