Richard is an ex-Royal Marine veteran. He fought for his country in the Falklands, was wounded in battle, suffered a devastating PTSD-induced breakdown, lost his partner, lost his home, and ended up sleeping rough. When he needed his country, there was no safety net.
Meanwhile, “Stacksa Pula”, fleeing “war-torn” Botswana that’s never had a war, steps off a dinghy and straight into taxpayer-funded hotel accommodation with free everything.
The contrast is obscene.
