Of course the appeal to fairness runs through British history

It was good to get an update on Ali Abbas, the Iraqi boy who came to Britain after a US missile liberated his arms, family and home.

I know this probably wouldn’t look too from a public relations angle in the short term, but now that Ali is making the same progress as his home country (according to the Home Secretary), isn’t it time we sent him back? I mean fair’s fair.

      Yes, I saw that. I suppose it’s an attempt at some kind of consistency.
