It’s snow joke

Let’s not turn this into a refugee sob story. He doesn’t have the right documents to travel. I wouldn’t get to go to Majorca without a passport either.

Vicky Feathersto­nehaugh Tell all that to a wee boy and his classmates. What do they know of all of this? They are children. They want to go. All of them.

Lydia Reid Although I’m sympatheti­c that the boy won’t make the trip rules are rules so fast tracking his applicatio­n isn’t fair for the people going through the appropriat­e channels to get their paperwork. Pathetic decision by the Home Office.

Linda Martin That’s a shame! He can’t help it. Of course he should go.

Liz Workman Sad, but isnt it the rules regardless off nationalit­y to not book a holiday until you have a valid passport or at least give six weeks or more before travelling for a first passport. Yes, it was a school competion but the school and the company should have been aware of the rules.

Margot Hadden What a shame, hopefully he gets to go.

Linzii Forrest Hope he is able to go with his friends. No wonder there was confusion, the whole system is as clear as mud.
