On a Radio 2 interview earlier today, someone stated that to date, a total of 250 interpreters have been killed/murdered in Iraq. This obviously is not good. They've put their lives on the line for us, although some may say purely for financial gain. Why do they want to come to the UK? Possibly because they know of the benefits system here? We can help them in other ways. Their relocation in another part of Iraq or a neighbouring country would give them the climate, diet, possibly the language etc. that they're used to. Surely this would be the best option and there would be few complaints? After all, we relocate rapists and murderers here, complete with change of identity for their own protection!
