Hi, McGrath:
That's a very moving song. Nice to hear your voice (even if the audio file is slightly rough).
We've had similar people-smuggling deaths here in Canada.
The link to Guardian reports on refugee issues was also very enlightening, especially the article comparing current anti-immigrant sentiment to the punitive Poor Laws of 17th & 18th century England.
Thanks, Hester
