The Afghan deportations

"When I go to Afghanistan, I realise I've been spared , due to a random genetic lottery, by being born to people who had the means to get out. Every time I go to Afghanistan I am haunted by that" – Khaled Hosseini   View this email in your browser A rare moment of calm in the election today, with the rush of manifestos temporarily over and just the opposition debate tonight to look forward to.

That could well be coming to an end soon, given the sudden deterioration in the country. But before that happens, the Home Office appears intent on sending out another charter flight of deportations.
