Failed asylum seekers have no rights to benefits, accommodation or work. They exist on the goodwill of others.

The domestique experience is, essentially, always going to be in some varying degree of Beta; RC; or possibly Alpha. More or less so on any given day. Fun isn’t it? Seemed relatively ok at one point. An updated version of the site shall be online shortly – version 3 (or thereabouts). Outside of several navigational improvements one shouldn’t encounter anything particularly catastrophic. There remains little doubt it’ll not be fully cross browser compliment nor shall it satisfy the overly pedantic w3.org validator, but frankly….. (“;)
