Anna Smith Column: Welcome to terror
Anna SmithWHATEVER your views on asylum-seekers, spare a thought for Somali refugee Faduma Mohammed.
Having left her war-torn country in fear of her life, she must really think she is now in a very dark place, because of sick, pond- water scum who don't deserve to breathe the same air as the rest of us.
Poor Faduma had to throw her baby from the top floor of a tenement after thugs started a fire outside her door. Then she broke her back trying to escape.
Welcome to Glasgow, Faduma. Somalia must seem a safer bet at the moment.
The only glimmer of hope in this depressing tale is that she and her baby are alive today thanks to one decent local hero, James Gunning, who caught her baby and broke her 30ft fall.
It just about restores your faith in human nature.
