Heard my usual limited time at dinner to listen to Jeremy Vine who was discussing this subject.
Kept doing lots of U-turns on this issue as every difference of opinion was put forward. Felt at first,yes, we let the Gurkhas down, the Cossacks, Vietnamese (ok USA did) and let's, at least, protect these people who have aided us, after all lots of political asylum seekers here whose cases have been suspect. Then the point came up about all the other locals who were cleaners, drivers, cooks and bottle washers (plus their family) to our armed forces .. this could then leave us vulnerable to hundreds of thousands. They were paid well and knew the risks. Hek though, sounded like torture and death to the interpreters was inevitable after we leave (which we will after total failure)
Really confused on this one, and William Haigh was correct in saying that each one should be taken on its merit, otherwise could open the flood gates to lots more asylum seekers.. oh hek ! really don't know .. help !
