Anders Fjellberg: Two Nameless Bodies Washed Up on the Beach. Here Are Their Stories

Spoilers: They were Syrian refugees trying to swim the English Channel.

While it leans toward the "those poor refugees" side of things, I found this interesting because: informed citizens (hello, Morons!) know there is a huge influx of militant yoots into Europe, a dangerous tide of threatening, low-culture Islamists, including criminals, rapists, and terrorists. But, it seems (seems!) these two refugees, well, one of them, really were fleeing the destruction of their homes in search of a better life.

Also interesting for its glimpses of the terrible conditions in the refugee camps (which are a consequence of bad Euro policies, of course).

Maybe most intriguing sheerly in its detective work on "who were these bodies?"
