maybe all these folks stranded miles from 'home' should just sit back , take a deep breath and say to themselves "its the journey not the destination " ....... Blazey stuck in China could follow the old silk route home, following the steps of Marco Polo and get a better education about life than any book learning at Lancaster Uni (horrible Australian affectation) folk stuck in Greece could enable themselves of a ride on the Orient Express and see Europe as it really is . Travel can't really be that hard these days if 12 year old penniless refugees from Somalia or the Congo can make it to London with no problem ...
As one of my old British Passports (Blue hardback) states ......"Her Brittanic Majestys Principal Secretary of State ....requests and requires in the name of Her Majesty..to pass freely without let or hinderance and to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as necessary" .
For some reason the above quote has been shortened in my red soft backed UK issued European Community passports .
