I have always been quite curious that whenever Political leaders or a dictator be it an deposed Prime Minister, an insecure political party head or an ousted dictator is forced to leave his country he/she, always beelines straight for London ?.Most of them being from the South Asian country's.

What attracts them to choose this particular destination ?one would wonder !.Possibly,Madame Tussads famous wax museum or the London bridge, which we all seem to have have been so brainwashed in school day's with repeated recitation of the old nursary ryhme attributed with it and which went as "London Bridge is falling down,falling down....."No,I think it could be the world famous cricket grounds or maybe the beauty and splendor of the Queens,Bukingham Castle.Whatever may be the appeal which draws them to England one thing is certain it attracts them like bees on honey.!

The best part of it all is that they are always welcomed with open arms! They are given a free hand and even facilitated to open their respective political offices to carry out their political activity's, which at time could be deemed as interfering within their respective country's day to day affairs, through press conferences and public address via satellite tele-conferencing, to huge gatherings of their activist and sympathizers.

In, a nutshell their respective shops doing usual business within the safe haven of its Majesty's, soil.

While on the contrary, I have yet to see a British or a European political leader heading to any other country even under extreme threat or fear of being executed etc.

This makes me wonder why Britain is so liberal in accommodating them with greatest of ease, and not those who are keen to travel to their country to attain higher educational or professional studies or business opportunities. The latter groups of intending visitors suffer a great deal to clear many difficult and cumbersome rule and procedure in order to get a clearance to acquire a visa for entering her Majesty's, Great Britain.

The way my layman brain perceives this is that possibly, British intelligentsia or their ally's find these political heavy weights presence in their country as advantageous and beneficial for easy access through them to gain in-depth knowledge and latest information pertaining to the developments taking place within those country's, to whom these exiled or self exiled leaders belong too ?.And if necessitated or required use the asylum leader's links to promote their vested political agenda and interests there!

I could be wrong in my perception to, maybe it is solely due to humane reasons!
