    And it might be a mini-pr coup as it shows we are fairer...

    I completely agree with the decision to grant him asylum - he has served his time and should be protected from torture and death like other asylum seekers.
    "Look I’ve got my old pledge card a bit battered and crumpled we said we’d provide more turches churches teachers and we have I can remember when people used to say the Japanese are better than us the Germans are better than us the French are better than us well it’s great to be able to say we’re better than them I think Mr Kennedy well we all congratulate on his baby and the Tories are you remembering what I’m remembering boom and bust negative equity remember Mr Howard I mean are you thinking what I’m thinking I’m remembering it’s all a bit wonky isn’t it?"

    So, is this a man who engaged in terrorism against Britain?

    If so, why in the world is the government going to protect him?!

    Tricky one that , the embassy is Iranian territory .

    Because civilised nations don't deport people to countries where they may be tortured or killed , something to do with human rights .

    Look what these bastards have done to Wales. They've taken our coal, our water, our steel. They buy our homes and live in them for a fortnight every year. What have they given us? Absolutely nothing. We've been exploited, raped, controlled and punished by the English — and that's who you are playing this afternoon Phil Bennett's pre 1977 Rugby match speech

    Even if this is true, we show ourselves to be superior by acting this way. Remember we are talking about human rights, not rights for human beings we think deserve them.
    We all learn from experience. Unfortunately we don't all learn as much as we should.

    He probably quite likes it now. Morals can be surprisingly flexible when cheesegraters are potentially involved.
