    Stay in Pakistan and your daughter will likely die, or go to the UK and she will live... hard choice for a father

    They are safe here isnt what this is all about? Compassion? Just because they were not invited does not mean they are not safe in their own country.

    I think there's little doubt that we did do the right thing in allowing her to come here for life saving treatment. That's what countries like ours are supposed to do. What happens afterwards is up to the politicians.
    As she is in line for a Nobel peace prize which from what I've read she fully deserves the cynic inside me says that she will provide our Prime Minister with many photo opportunities in the run up to the next election.
    I just wished that we would show as much compassion to all the children suffering in the world at the moment at the hands of illegal activities. But obviously the Children of Gaza would not get as many votes as this young lady.

    Indeed Rayna but as we both know the Children have little choice in this but still end up among the casualties.

    I know Marco. It's not their choice being born in a country where they have a high risk of dying.

    Well, those kids needed help too. But I'm sure if even one of them was taken here for refuge, would no one complain? I'm sure there are still people of this country that would say they would only take the taxpayers' money.

    it has to be embarrassing for the Pakistani government that they cannot protect a 12yr old girl or provide her with the medical treatment she needed

    its good that there is people out there that do care who ever you are, its called kindness to many of us, but to others its called what can i get out of this for myself,if all of us men on here did not have a bride or partner from far off shores i dont think we would be bothered, its because we have and we know what we all have to go through to try and get them here, who ever is born in england has the right to marry who ever they want and to bring their wife to the place they was born, but we all know different, thats what gets our backs up

    Your right steve. I would like this to be bought to attention too. Of course I feel sorry for the girl. Here is an example. Picture this girl is in hospital here. Your elderly father or mother or wife or close relative for that matter is taken Ill and is in need of a hospital bed but cant get one. How would you feel? I think first off you would be throwing abuse at the health staff. Who in turn would blame the government. Who would you be looking at next?. I have a pretty good idea.

    Just shows that even the government of rich countries don't know who to take care of, or give priorities to.

    As I said before why didn't the Pakistani Govt arrange for her to go to one of the expertly staffed & lavishly equipped hospitals in the relatively nearby Middle East?

    Who knows, no one would know why unless someone would ask them directly.

    That's a question to address to David Cameron and all......at a guess it was a politically oriented move.

    or not ... as a taxpayer you've every RIGHT to be miffed about a politician being granted leave of absence [whether paid or unpaid] to go swanning off at will, to take part in some , nonsensical, "high jinks" abroad - at the taxpayer's expense - a so called "reality show" that bears no more resemblance to real life than the Pope sharing a duet with Ian Paisley.

    It riles ME no end, too!!

    Yes ... you received a sympathetic response from Theresa May. But does she intend pulling out all the stops to ensure there's no chance of crass, irresponsible indulgence - of the kind displayed by Nadine Dorries - being repeated? I very much doubt it! Any more than she's likely to back-down on the controversial new Immigration Rules she herself pushed through last July.

    Nevertheless, the action you took in highlighting such breach of privilege by an elected Member of Parliament is to be commended.
