The Scandal of the Child Migrants

With the recent apology from the Australian Prime Minister over the plight of the so-called Child Migrants, no doubt there will be renewed calls for a similar apology from Gordon Brown, and possibly from reresentatives of the charities and church groups involved.

The plight of the children is so harrowing that I coudn`t possibly do justice to it in the limited spare time I have for this sort of thing, and to deal with it hastily would be an insult. In any case, the Nottingham-based Child Migrants Trust are quite capable of explaing the issues themselves, and can probably do it better than I can in any case. Check out their website at www.childmigrantstrust.com.
