I'm still trying to work out just how much **** the Brits are willing to swallow. I honestly don't get why this should be going on in the fourth/fifth/sixth biggest economy in the world : what kind of kicking has to be doled out to the truly deserving before enough people realise how f
g pathetic this is ?
Rather than the usual GBP hand-in-pocket reaction, how about a flood of e-mails to the MPs, informing them of the case, suggesting either immediate intervention through parliamentary channels or direct contribution from their own tidy incomes, and perhaps a gentle reminder that standing up for men who've risked all is a) the right thing to do and b) in their own self-interest.
Failing that, if there's a fund set up slap the details up here.
