Around 40 'child' asylum seekers who arrived in the UK without papers and were judged by immigration officers to be adults and thus held in adult detention centres have received £1 million in compensation. A further £1 million was paid to the British lawyers who fought their case.
How do these sums get calculated? That £1 million averages out at £25,000 each! How, on the one hand, can we be told that in their home countries, families survive on less than US$1 a day and then give such a huge sum as compensation. Were they mis-treated while in detention (no claims lodged so I suspect not!0.
This sum equates to a very significant lifestyle change being made available to these 'children' and their families.
Oh, and remember. They arrived without papers and so the immigration officers had to make a judgement.
Madness doesn't come close.
