I am both angry and frustrated that the UK political parties continue to swipe at each other like barking dogs over the asylum seeker issue. I am a GP and part of a dedicated team who work in a primary care service that has been set up solely to respond to the health needs of asylum seekers in Leicester. The latter are a very vulnerable and disempowered group who do not appear to share the same rights and liberties that other members of our society experience. They arrive in this country with minimal material assets and little understanding of the systems that underpin our social fabric.
Not all failed asylum …
