#1 Contrast Mr Alouneh and his sons and nephews with the two Brit bombers at Mike's Bar. Perhaps they deserve British citizenship? And a bunch of back pay. Don't be cheap, Tony.

#3 Indeed, and jobs for the boys too, I'm sure. Maybe he'll finally be able to even the score in that darts league tournament that was so rudely interrupted...

I think something very similar happened in Kabul when wrested from the Taliban - former employees were found to have watched over the embassy, sure that one day the staff would return.

#4 Blair had better pay these guys back salary - the intelligence documents they protected are probably woth a lot in saved lives themselves. The Crown shoudl step in if Blair gets his hands tied by Baby Saddam (Glasgow George) in parliament. Hey - there's an idea - sieze the illegal payoff that Galloway took, and hand it over to that guy and his family!
