I READ in a national newspaper that the Home Office has persistently refused to give Duncan Fletcher, our England cricket coach, a British passport.
This is despite the fact that he has British ancestry, but unfortunately for him, he was born in Rhodesia, therefore he does not meet the criteria for getting a passport.
Yet at the same time I read that Peter Mandelson, "our man" in Brussels was living with his gay friend who he'd brought back from South America.
A visa was first obtained for this person, and now he has been given a British passport. The mind boggles. I believe this is just plain wrong.
