THIS may seem old news but I could not put it out of my mind.

I refer to little Amy Houston’s death at the hands of an illegal immigrant in his car.

Many politicians have condemned the fact that he is still in this country, Jack Straw and David Cameron among them.

They are the people who are able to change these laws but they can’t care enough, or this man would not still be here.

It’s a total travesty of justice and we are a laughing stock to the world.

I utterly admire Amy’s father, Paul, for continuing to fight for justice.

Amy’s parents could be walking in town this weekend, or in the park, and could bump into Amy’s killer at any time.

I don’t know how our pussyfooting politicians can sleep at night.
