after a heartbreaking two days of detention centres and snide custom officials at manchester airport cars can be blue have been deported this morning. they have been seperated, interrogated, and treated like criminals.

we are going to lobby mp's and campaign for better treatment of bands and our dear friends becky and nate (if you know any crooked mp's or judges let us know so we can give them a back hander)

and you can help by donating to the paypal account on our main page to fly them here again, if they'd ever want to

love h r h q
