Robert Poste's Child Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I just loved, loved, loved this news story.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5777403/Paris-hero-climbs-four-storey-apartment-block-rescue-boy.htmlIt made me wonder, does the UK have a fast track for migrants who demonstrate outstanding citizenship, courage, loyalty or otherwise exemplify UK values - so not just the wealthy or those who have a job lined up? I think it would be a fantastic way to reward people who deserve it, model good citizenship and create new role models.What does anyone else think? It's got 'Harry & Meghan' written all over it.

IlonaM Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Amazing video and brilliant outcome for all concerned - apart from the father who is in a wee bit of bother for leaving a toddler home alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I can't understand how the child clung on for so long.Brilliant outcome, as Ilona says, and I hope the child's father is suitably punished.ETA: Don't think he was a toddler, apparently he was four. Child not father, obvs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quia Differt Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Have to say as someone who can be to the right of Genghis Khan, certainly Kubla Khan anyway that this is a fantastic story and has gone viral and the great news is he is assured of a place in the Country and has secured a job as a Fireman so well done Mamoudou Gassama :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's the basis of the British values we're all searching for ... Personally, it really drives me up the wall to hear politicians trying to adopt a British version of the American Dream.

AllanLambert Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 With all the negative press about illegal immigrants which reduce them to something less than human, it's a great story of a real human being who is a real hero. Makes me think that many, if not most, of the people who risk life and limb to get "somewhere" other than where they currently live, deserve more than hostility, and certainly more than many, if not most people, who come to their natural citizenship because they were born to the manor.
