I'm at a loss to understand how pointing out that two things can't hold simultaneously is 'illogical' counts as personal. They would be illogical if I said them, if Juliet said them, if Tony Blair said them, or if Saddam Hussein said them, there's nothing personal in it. But never mind.

I am advocating that "failed" asylum seekers should be supported during the time they remain in the UK while going through the appeals process as is reuired under international human rights law

So am I, and as far as I'm aware so is the Government. My reading of their proposals comes second-hand I'm afraid, but I tend to rely on the Guardian/Observer not to be too generous to the Government on these issues, and they called the suggested change

"Home Office plans to withdraw benefits from those who had exhausted the appeals process"

So it seems we still agree.
