My comment……..
Where have the British consul been since 2005 when all this blew up in our face? People have died,become ill and even committed suicide whilst they have ignored us to date. In my case my MEP sent me a meaningless letter when I ahd problems. fact we got most of our money back cos’ we had a BG doesn’t mean I have no sympathy for others…….I would love to see justice for all!
