Desperately Seeking Asylum


The Labour Campaign for Lesbian, Gay Bisexual and Transgender Rights has issued another double-sided PDF masquerading as a "Labour gay manifesto", this time on international lesbian and gay rights.
As well as the usual hopelessly vague platitudes ("Ban homophobia from our shores"), it also includes some additional stuff that no-one really cares about ("Ensure every British embassy [is] licensed to hold civil partnerships").
Now what would you say if I were to ask what is the most important subject for this manifesto to cover?
Here's a little clue; it begins with an A and rhymes with "osylum".
Now try and guess one subject that it doesn't even pay lip service to.

"Give me your hungry, your tired, your poor,
I'll piss on 'em."
Lou Reed, Dirty Blvd.
