What they do care about I'm sure though is being involved in wars with other countries -  and on the last occasion this happened with the UK, the majority of british people were clearly against it, yet it went ahead. Will the people be listened to in the future? I'm thinking of the possibility that the USA decides to take military action against Iran and  asks  for our assistance."" Show less »

    I submitted my full UK contact details to the FCO bureacrats in Indonesia in my support and complete sponsorship for a visit/tourist visa application for a 3 month visit to the UK for an Indonesian citizen. This application was refused based on incorrect and discriminatory attitudes and biased opinions of the ECO/ECM and despite my escalation to the FCO for names and contact details of the decision makers, I have received nothing but stonewalling from the FCO.
    Mr Milliband I shall be forwarding my FCO correspondence for your direct review and your procrastination or refusal to review this FCO impasse and pettyness is not acceptable. 
    I await your email response before I haul the FCO to court for breaching my European Court of Human Rights.
