Britain: And the Case of Contradictory Policies Working to Opposite Purposes

Britain's Prime Minister,Boris Johnson, has announced an increase in Defence spending. Defence is to prevent these islands being occupied by foreigners. But taxpayers' money is also provided for legal aid for immigration cases. This litigation contests immigration decisions, and, often successful, enables foreigners to live here. These decisions are often based on the 1951 UN Convention on Refugees andon Human Rights. Both set up during the Cold War and with the Second World War in everyone's minds. Now clearly outdated in their intent when considering immigration. The contradiction between spending money on warfare while spending money to bring about occupation is very stark. And absurd. And should be ended. Forthwith. If not sooner!
