Bad immigration makes for Fake "equality"

The Archbishop of York came to Britain because of Idi Amin. The Ugandan dictator is long gone, but the Archbishop is still here. This is a serious flaw in the asylum system. His successor next June has already said he will promote "diversity". Unequal immigration laws (biased against Brits) result in fake "equality". Everyone in the world in a war zone has the legal right to set up home anywhere in the UK. Take back control of our borders makes no sense unless and until we Leave the 1948 UN Convention on Refugees. So, come on, Boris Johnson, "Get it done!" Just sign a piece of paper. Baby Jesus was allowed into Egypt because the Egyptians and/or Romans had control of their borders, not because of a decades-old international agreement. And he soon returned to his own country.

The Struggle to Cast a Vote

In the 3 TV debates in the run-up to the 2010 General Election immigration was the most discussed topic next to the economy. The Conservatives' David Cameron said he wanted a "cap"; Labour's Gordon Brown said he wanted a "points system" - he was Prime Minister, so he could have had a points system, but didn't!;and LibDem's Nick Clegg said he wanted to legalise the status of illegal aliens (which he also said, 3 times, wasn't an amnesty). What must foreigners think of all this? I wondered. They must think we're all daft! I didn't want to waste my vote, so I voted UKIP. But I voted Remain in the 23 June 2016 EU Referendum. (My reasons are in this blog of 10 June 2016.) One-third of the electorate didn't vote in the election of 12 December 2019. #Me too. I didn't. The Conservatives won with a big majority, and a promise to Leave the European Union and to bring in an immigration points system. This latter promise is a smokescreen to disguise what could/should be done but won't be - e.g.ending the privilege of Muslims to bring in 4 "wives" and their children to live in the UK; reforming the chaotic asylum system; and stopping foreign men from using marriage to live in the UK....Not to mention deporting the over 1 million people who are living illegally in the UK, contrary to the much-vaunted Rule of Law championed by Western democracies.....

Border Control

Election Promises! We will control our borders! How can Conservative politicians get away with saying this when everyone can see that illegal aliens aren't deported? The UK Border Force (which, perversely, helps them get to England! contrary to its original purpose)is allowed to operate in France. This great concession may well be denied after the UK leaves the European Union. As it is, the UK is greatly privileged because, together with the Republic of Ireland, it's not signed up to the Shengen Agreement, and so is independent of much of the EU's immigration laws.

Points System = No Freedom of Movement

Britain's Brexit crisis is mainly caused by immigration. But there was no question about immigration at the last of the TV debates (held last night) before next Thursday's General Election. However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson did say a couple of times that, if the Conservatives are elected, there would be an Australian-style points system. Western Europe has had the benefit of freedom of movement since 1945. So my question is: Will there still be freedom of movement throughout Western Europe except for 4 countries in these fractured islands in its North-West corner? Because a points system is incompatible with freedom of movement. And it's not just England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland that have to be considered when it comes to immigration controls; there is the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.... Borders are porous if loopholes aren't catered for, and controls rendered pointless....
