I don't suppose Blunkett could read the letter properly anyway ;D

If you want utter stupidity, just call the Welsh Assembly, complete waste of money.

When we were in the Liverpool Immigration office the other day we were both shocked to see how organised it was. You are informed of everything they are doing as they go through your application.

I know they are improving with extra offices anf staff now that the goverment is rebuilding them after the hatchet was put to them by the Tories.

Even the Aslyum seekers their new what was happening, and all the ones we spoke to were happy with the treatment. Bit different than what the press make out!
Yes - the government started ploughing money into it to clear the huge asylum seeker backlog (both at the Home Office for the initial applications and with the courts to clear the appeals tribunals) - good to hear it seems to be having some positive effect.

As always, the press, with its own agenda, conveniently ignores this aspect, but one can always rest assured the Sun will manage to dig up a family of 7 asylum seekers in Bolton temporarily living in a 4 bedroom house whilst permanent accommodation is found, and splash them all over the front pages for its next scandal.

I hear the Welsh Assembly is starting to follow the healthy precedent set by the Scottish parliament and is about to massively blow its budget for the cost of the new public buildings. Must make you proud to see your council tax used so wisely :
