I’m back, after a prolonged absence and thoughts of ending it all etc etc. The blog, not me. I’m fine, thank you. The news is that of the 6000 or so (roughly 6,800, apparently) families who were the first to receive Legacy questionnaires, most of them will be getting status...

I heard a great story the other day about the country guideline case that had been listed to deal with the situation in Iraq and the new ‘serious harm’ definition in the EC Qualification Directive. I had wondered what had happened to this, but what with the delay with coming...
