I have not forgotten that morning when internment was introduced, but things have moved on, and a new political era has been entered into, its nearly 2 years since i have been home, but i am supporting two causes, (1) extradition of Sean Garland to the USA, and , the extradition of , Pol Brennan fro the USA, as you well know Pol was one of the 38 who made the Great Escape, i am awaiting confirmation of permission to upload a video to YouTube to let the world know of Pols plight and his status, as of 18/5/09, pol has been given 3 days stay of deportation, so things are looking a little promising for him and his american wife. i would like to help in any way possible, as i live accross the water now, i know that help would be limited. please email me if i can be of any assistance.
