Lovely story about a seven year old, threatened with a return to the Congo from his UK school because his parents had split up and his mother’s visa had expired. His schoolmates signed petitions and raised awareness of his case and he has now been granted leave to stay. One amazing thing about multi-cultural Britain is that children are exposed to the workings of politics at such a young age, and have the confidence to fight for what they believe is right. Children see things with amazing clarity, and to them “the right thing to do” is obvious and unassailable. Naivety can move mountains, and thank God for that.
