The sister of a woman who died during childbirth in Winchester hospital, is facing deportation back to the Phillipines.

Jas-min Pickett’s sister Narissa came to the UK, to help her brother-in-law care for her nephew.

She has now been told by immigration officials to travel to Heathrow and leave the UK by 8pm tonight.

    this is a fantastically strong story – reminds me of woman from Ghana who was deported and died when she could not get kidney treatment. Really strong human interest angle, and well written – punchy and in classic style.

    Please blog more often and comment too on other blogs.

    Please blog on something – you’ve not added anything for a couple of weeks. Keep bashing it out. Practice makes perfect and builds good habits and confidence.
