A Two Way Street

While all current attention in London is whether the U.K. will leave the European Union, on the back page is the story of a Sudanese refugee who wants to leave Europe and enter the U.K. He walked the thirty-one miles thru the Chunnel dodging trains going 100 mph to reach his goal. He was promptly arrested and the charge was "obstructing a railway carriage" - a 19th century law. He was released after time served. It used to
 be that people tried to swim the Channel - now they walk it at their peril. Rule Brittania!
