I overhear a conversation in the office.

The man who
has just come in is looking for some advice. He is originally from
Palestine but was a refugee in Iraq for a time. He claimed asylum in
Britain and was refused so he went for voluntary return (whereby people
are offered £3,000 to leave the country). He said, okay, fair enough,
I'll go back. But… Iraq wouldn't take him – he's not a citizen there,
and he was refused entry to Palestine by Israel ( a relative had once
been a member of a Palestinian political organisation) and was put on a
flight back to Britain.

So here he is in the office, officially
stateless, no right to work, no right to benefit or housing and nowhere
to go. He tried to go back! Where to from here?
