Of course, this is far from an isolated case.  Quite the opposite in fact, it is official policy.

As noted by the above link, the Home Office has basically told the Iraqis to get stuffed and apply at the UN for refugee status instead - presumably along with the hundreds of thousands of other Iraqis, who may or may not have risked their lives helping British troops.

Even the American military has plans to provide for those who work for them.  But not Blair, nor Brown.  Proof, as if any more was needed, that despite a leadership change, New Labour are still filled with scumbags who care very little for human life at all.

APEC Conference in Sydney Social Engineered

The APEC conference is a big deal in Australia right now, and the security is serious. They've blocked off a major part of Sydney, implemented special APEC laws allowing extra search powers for the police, and even given everyone in Sydney the day off -- just to keep people away.
