Well spotted Andy - nothing either about claiming Asylum and the raft of benefits that go with it :yikes:

I've just recd an email from Mrs May's office with a letter from Damian Green (Immigration Minister) responding to my concerns about "Roma EU Nationals" sleeping rough in London. I'm a bit busy at the moment but once I have a chance to digest it I'll try to post it on here.

I for one will look forward to that Dedworth.
You have my genuine respect for the way you follow through on your principles.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
