We need to care about people

The existence of mass arrivals on the south coast – an Exclusion Zone because of its criminal activity – makes us think.

It makes us consider vulnerability. It makes us think of poverty. It may also cause some of us to question those who are its victims.

It’s not something we’re good at. We’ve looked into it, and the results were shocking.

The lack of care ordinary people show is disgraceful. The abandonment people feel is stark. We’ve witnessed immigrants beaten by gangs. We’ve seen bruised, bloodied faces.

The amateur bloggers among us reckon there’s an answer. They look for days of salvation for such souls. However, they too are to blame for the problem.

They remove themselves by acting as spectators alone. They sow seeds of doubt against us. They’re an ivory tower, with no experience, and no real love in reality.
