Radio Five Live’s ‘Pods and Blogs‘ show has been kind enough to pick up on and feature the ongoing blog campaign in support of those Iraqi employees who’ve worked for, and are still working for, UK forces and who now find themselves under threat from local militias and death squads.

Yes, it’s one of the bits where the style sheet needs a little tweaking
August 14th, 2007 at 6:08 pmI had just started to like the old style. This looks kind of good though.
The post titles behave badly in Firefox if they are long - they go onto two lines and obscure the meta info at the start of the post

August 16th, 2007 at 7:53 amGood to see the Muslim faith spreading the message of tollerance. Britain gives you housing, infrastructure and a standard of living the most could only dream of and how do you show gratitude? By spreading religious poison in your own communities and around the internet.
