MeadowArab Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Mercy Baguma: Govan mum found dead next to 'starving baby' - https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-53904251 Couldn't see a thread for this and I thought it merited one. This is a horrible story, and I was wondering if anyone on here has experience of relevant charities and/or the Home Office? My inner cynic tells me that the Home Office just cgaf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Richey Edwards Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 My girlfriend used to work with this poor woman and is quite upset about this. I personally find it disgusting that people are prevented from earning a living and are allowed to die in this manner, just because of an expired right-to-work. Why is there such a deliberately cruel, callous and inherently discriminatory asylum system? Surely the most humane solution would be to allow the right-to-work to be on a rolling basis if someone is currently employed and intends on staying here or, at the very least, there should be adequate systems in place to support people until they can work again. The way I see it, if someone can perform a job, they should be allowed to carry out that job. Where they came from shouldn't matter. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 25, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 25, 2020 This lies right at the door of the fucking racist Tory c***s and every arsehole that voted for them. Still, the dinghy watchers will no doubt be out again tonight. 22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 This is awful. A lot of clichés spring to mind about it being the 21st century etc but it really is absolutely abhorrent that people can get essentially murdered this way in one of the richest nations on earth 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I once volunteered for a project in Glasgow to help asylum seekers with their interview skills. There were a range of people with various experiences. A couple I remember was a women from Iran who was looking after a 100 year old woman in a home which she was enjoying. Considering some of the horror stories about abuse of the elderly it was good to hear from someone who genuinely seemed to care. Another guy had run a gas plant in Libya and I thought "Give him a job at Mossmorran. I don't think the UK is overrun with qualified petrochemical engineers and it seems a waste of a resource" 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
101 Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 Anyone who thinks this is as good as it gets for Scotland is off their rocker. This should not be happening in our country hopefully the day is coming and we can send the home office packing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin_Nevis Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I saw this story earlier on today and it's an utterly fucking abhorrent that in so-called "modern" Britain a woman who wants to work and contribute can starve to death and her baby require hospital treatment for malnutrition. I genuinely despise the UK more and more each day. Fucking shameful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely despise the UK more and more each day. Fucking shameful. Whilst there are obviously alot of questions to be asked in relation to her death I don't think the cause of death has been revealed. The baby was described as being malnourished but not seen anything saying she had starved to death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had been relying on handouts from friends and the occasional food parcel in one article in the article I read. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is what Patel meant when she said she was going to unveil something that would "send the left into meltdown".

She manages to combine the cold hearted evilness with being so thick she comes across as stoned/ suffering from a sever brain injury. It's quite a feat anyone elected her in the first place and like you say she's a stand out in a cabinet full of people who should only be able to dream of holding such high office. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 This is the government who banned being homeless around Westminster ffs, sadly this isn't a shock in the slightest. Until people start standing up and really making those in charge accountable for their actions, horrific stories like this will become more common. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Wait, you mean The Foreigners aren't all sitting with massive tele's claiming all the benefits available?! Do the public know!? Absolutely fucking disgusting that this has been allowed to happen. If people want to work,let them work. I'll go out on a limb here and guess she was doing a job that thousands of work-shy arseholes wouldn't dream of doing. How the f**k people can vote for the Tories is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
