The Murdoch Times reports that the Government is about to change its policy on leaving Iraqi collaborators to freedomise themselves as best they can. It appears that "interpreters who have worked for the British Government for 12 months will be given the opportunity of asylum in Britain" and "a few hundred vital support staff" will also be given some as yet unspecified help. It is far from clear just how many people will benefit from this act of compassion, but we are assured that the Government is taking every precaution against opening the floodgates to a lot of asylum seekers "with equally strong claims" from some of our other wars.
