Andy Player is obviously confused about the recent tragic deaths of the 58 Chinese people in Kent (Opinion, June 22). All parties of whatever persuasion will acknowledge the tragedy of this but for Mr Player to blame it on capitalism seems strange.
He is presumably aware China is a communist country and therefore if these people were desperate, hungry and repressed it is due to the situation in their native country and it was only the prospect of a better life in a capitalist system that persuaded them to trek halfway around the world.
It would seem Mr Player is keen for all potential immigrants to be granted carte blanche to enter this country despite the fact we are unable to provide a decent standard of living for many people already here.
