NO MERCY FROM THIS GOVERNMENT...

Just read on the BBC website that a woman forcibly removed from this country has died
Welsh First Minister Rhodri Morgan stepped in to try and stop the deportation of Ama Sumani (pictured) who had been undergoing dialysis and was receiving other drugs at the University Hospital of Wales after being diagnosed with malignant myeloma.
She came to the UK five years ago to become a student but began working in contravention of her visa regulations.
The decision to remove Ms Sumani, who has two children, was described as "atrocious barbarism" by leading medical journal The Lancet.
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams also criticised the way cases like hers were handled. What was the response of her local MP Alun Michael?
He said at the time: :"Isn't the debate really about the quality of treatment and medical services available in her own country?
"The question anybody has to ask themselves is whether it's right for somebody who has no right to be in this country to be given medical treatment which would not be available to them had they not become an illegal resident."
I am afraid that, in the face of such basic inhumanity, I am lost for words.One can only hope the law of karma returns to haunt Mr Michael. And the rest of his colleagues who impose such draconian rules with not an ounce of compassion.
