Yesterday there was a woman on the radio who I think her brother or father was helping in Syria with humanitarian aid. And the government won't let him leave and she criticised the UK government for not doing enough to get him released. I do wonder what they can realistically do? Appreciate other countries have managed to secure release but the UK is higher in the hate stakes but not as powerful as others. If you leave these shores for good or for bad and enter a war zone then surely you appreciate you're on your own to a very large extent? This is one matter I do feel sorry for politicians who obviously can't say anything publically but must be seething at the criticism behind closed doors?!
