The Migrant Crisis

There is so much hype and counter-hype, so much scare-mongering and rumour-spreading about the whole "migrant crisis" that it is a relief to come across an article that treats the problem sensibly and at the same time acknowledging that it is a problem that really needs us to develop a sense of compassion.

Although there are huge problems involved in tackling the situation, one thing for sure is that we cannot decide that there is no solution. If we ignore the political posturing and grandstanding, we can come up with some kind of solution. But the problem then is whether the political will exists to apply the solution. Hopefully so.
