THE BASRA EXPAT

Did you see that English woman on the telly who was telling the British soilders “You’ve got the weapons, go and sort them out” as the looting threatened to get out of control in Basra?

The Guardian has a little piece about her life as an expat in Saddam’s Iraq – she arrived with her Iraqi husband and just six months later the Ba’ath Party took control of the country. The Mirror also talks to her.
