Japan earthquake: UK rescue team 'foiled by red tape'

Our Embassy staff should hang their heads in shame. Or perhaps they are going to this work themselves?

The FCO must look into this and ensure that Britain is never again put in this ignominious position.

I don't understand what the embassy has to do with it, I did not need embassy permission to live in Thailand, I needed Thai permission.

As a retiree the embassy had to confirm my income, but if I were a volunteer relief worker It would be the Thai government that dealt with me.
