		<title>Peo Strike 24/03/2010</title>
		<link>http://www.ukresident.com/forums/topic/125872-peo-strike-24032010/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Why has my last post re: the PCS strike on the 24/03/2010 been removed??<br />
<br />
It is very relevant for those visiting PEO's in person as they will probably not be able to process the application on the day due to Border Agency Staff striking.<br />
<br />
PS Now I know how it feels to have relevant posts removed. I always thought people were mistaken when they stated they had posts removed.You think you are helping people but others have another agenda it would seem]]></description>
