22 March 2006 Lin Liang Ren, a Chinese national who came to the UK as a student in 2000, was convicted today of the manslaughter of 21 cockle pickers who drowned after being trapped by rising tides in Morecambe bay in 2004.

My name is Helen Moore and I am a published writer/poet wanting to offer all people in Britain a poem I have written, called 'The Drowned' as a memorial to the people
who so tragically lost their lives at Morecambe Bay recently...
The Morecambe bay tragedy is devastating. It is devastating not only for the victims and their families, but also for the Chinese community as a whole.
