  Council Official : Can you confirm your name, please?

  Tanya : Tat'yana Krush-i-na.

  Council Official : You should have registered here yesterday. This is a general information pack. These are your food and toiletry vouchers for the week.

  Tanya : But, I don't need them. I want to go to London.

  Council Official : No, you can't do that.

  Tanya : Why?

  Council Official : You've applied for political asylum.

  Tanya : Yes, and so?

  Council Official : All applicants must stay in their designated holding areas. Look, it's in here.

  Tanya : You mean I can't leave?

  Council Official : No, that's right.

  Tanya : But, I don't... I don't understand why. If I have money, if I have place where to stay in London, why I can't go?

  Council Official : The world and his wife would go to London if we let them.
