Re: Hyndburn Foreign Policy II

Have a heart you lot - once we send somebody to represent us in Parliament their party then expect them to join committees and debate on various other matters than what's best (in his view) for Hyndburn.

Now that Burma has stopped isolating itself from the world and is holding out the begging bowl we in the west need something in return. If we don't want another massive influx of asylum seekers, I think we need to try to alleviate the tribal situation. I once saw a documentary a few years back where a journalist had secretly sailed down a Burmese river and had come across tribal villagers deep in the forest who were hiding from the Burmese army who were doing a bit of ethnic cleansing.

As for the Palestinian situation - Blair has always said it's their own fault. I think our MP was right to publish the other side of the coin.
