I'm certain the plight of the Rohingya tribes in Burma is one with which we'd all sympathise, (if we remotely knew anything about it) alongside the plight of thousands of other tribes/communities/groups across the world who are subject to oppression.

The interesting point here is why the MP has singled out this particular issue rather than any of the thousands of others, given that the Burmese community in his constituency has hardly been vocal in calling for his support.

I think the majority of his constituents would prefer him to concentrate on issues nearer to home. Like why it takes 52 minutes to travel a couple of hundred yards from Union Street to the Royal Bank of Scotland.......
