Have you heard the amazing story recently told on BBC R4's Book of the Week, "The Boy with Two Hearts"?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kfq2
An Afghan family, the mother under threat of execution by the Taliban, desperate to get to the West where their son's heart disease could be treated, spent a year and a half on the road at the mercy of people-smugglers and criminals.
They made it, the son was treated and for fifteen years dedicated his life to paying back the NHS for giving him a chance of life.
Five short but uplifting episodes, leaving me proud to be British, proud that my country (once) welcomed and cared for refugees, proud of the NHS for their amazing even-handed treatment.
Worth a listen; it might even cheer you up in bleak times.

Allen.

Best answers are not set in stone and can be altered if you wish by selecting another.

Entirely your choice.

Live and learn, Mamya, thanks. Now let me see...
Yes, that's a better 'best answer' for this thread.
Keep up the learning curve - you might, eventually, learn to be less obvious when pushing your agenda.
