Channel 4’s main evening news yesterday reported from Venezuela, where there are elections this weekend.
The poverty and the effects of that poverty in Venezuela flashed across our screen. Millions of people have fled the country, parents have left their children with relatives and friends, with the hope of earning money to send it back home.
Anyone who saw the Channel 4 report must realise the horror and desperation people have before they decide to leave their homes.
And life is far worse in many other countries around the world than in Venezuela.
Wasn’t the Gospel of two Sundays ago about welcoming the stranger? And what about the stranger who is living in subhuman conditions?
