I wonder how cynical some people can be?

This article suggest very, it's not the first time Britain has decided to deport someone back to a country with a murderous regime. On this occasion even if the person going back isn't the victim of recriminations for being an anti Mugabe activist he will almost certainly die for the lack of treatment available to cover his illness.

I can't help but think part ofthe reason he is being sent home is that he has HIV, considered a burden on resources why not just pap him back home where the problem will take care of itself. Given the taboo that still surrounds HIV to a large extent i imagine a lot of people simply won't care about the mans plight so the government don't need worry themselves in the slightest about his fate.

As it happens the cricket coach getting his citizenship granted the day after winning the ashes, a coincidence? Yeah right i can just imagine the home secretary browsing through a list of files, catching the name thinking that looks familiar and upon proper scrutinising of his application passing it. Yeah sure thing, as it happens the england cricket coach probably does deserve to be granted citizenship, his parents and grandparents are british and he was having problems getting his own citizenship made official because his job involved touring with Englands cricket team. For gods sake whats the guy meant to do, give up his job to go coach cricket only in side the UK? Why it has taken 14 years, well probably just standard government bureaucracy.
