    With so much unpleasantness in the world it was nice to see the young Thai lad win his appeal against deportation.

    I think also the Shetland community has come out of this with their head held high. Good on them!

    I know news of kindness tends to fall between the cracks but I thought it worthy of record.

    There are presently 25 afghan refugees on hunger strike in our centrum protesting deportation.

    " ...sparking a major campaign to try and prevent the move."

    If he's been there since he was 10 its the right move . But setting fires that's insane he could of hurt someone . You know , if he spent 8 months in jail he paid his debt but get the boy some help !

    It was, if I am correct, a one off following a bout of drinking with friends which in itself was triggered by the death of his step-dad closely followed by the death of his new born child. I don't believe he has made a habit of this sort of thing.
