There was a family of asylum seekers, here in Glasgow, that found their way out by jumping off the veranda and to their deaths. Mother, father and son left a simple note “We died for freedom”. People are obviously talking about it, how it is all so sad, but they can’t understand why would anyone do such a thing for freedom. There’s a immense void of real life experiences if you can’t understand why freedom is so important. British society is, as they say “broken”, it’s a bit more complex than that… if you’re sheltered and spoiled all your life, what do you really know?
