What Goes Around Comes Around (II)

The official figure in 1979 for the number of men using marriage to live in the UK was about 10,000. Mrs. Thatcher's 1979 election manifesto promised to close this loophole. But she did not keep her promise. The Immigration Minister, Mr. Timothy Raison, when asked Why not? replied "Because of the fuss." As a result at least 300,000 men are living in these islands. The British Empire was built on the principle of divide-and-rule. Now it is the British who are divided....

Welcome to the Asylum

"Welcome to the Asylum", Centre for Policy Studies's booklet in 2001, page 1:"Our immigration policy is an exercise in wishful thinking.... Attempts at reform have been piecemeal and have mostly failed, partly through mismanagement and partly through lack of vision. Any strategy on immigration requires vision, morality and courage.... The last 15 years have seen a dramatic change in all categories of people who seek to enter the UK; asylum seekers, economic migrants with permission to work here and illegal immigrants." Overstayers (in 2001) are put at about 200,000 annually, and London alone is estimated to have a million people living there illegally.

LoL = Land of Lunatics (II)

When David Blunkett was Home Secretary he abandoned plans to deport 30,000 failed asylum seekers a year. ("The Times", 16 July 2002, p. 11) Both he and Theresa May when Home Secretary criticised judges for interfering in immigration cases. A few years ago there was a TV programme on the Supreme Court (BBC Four "The Highest Court in the Land") in which the senior judge responded to this by saying (with a smile) "We're only doing what the politicians want us to."

"stupid, divisive and wrong"

David Cameron called Donald Trump "stupid, divisive and wrong". Mr. Cameron has just taken the UK out of the EU contrary to his own wishes! The main reason a majority of people voted to Leave the EU was because of lack of immigration control. Mr. Cameron was responsible for that. Mr. Trump wants stricter control of immigration to the US.....

Mayday! (= M'aidez! = Help!)

Mrs. May in her first speech (4 mins. 16 secs.) in Downing Street yesterday made no mention of the main reason Britons had voted to Leave the European Union and why she had just become Prime Minister - immigration. So the new broom swept the elephant in the room under the carpet. The talented Mr. Cameron said on resigning after 6 years as Prime Minister his greatest achievement was same-sex marriage. (!) So now foreign men can become British by marrying a man! For me, yesterday was not a gay day.

LoL = Land of Lunatics

Discontent with immigration to the UK caused millions of people to vote to Leave the European Union. In charge of immigration for the past 6 years has been Theresa May. Today Mrs. May becomes Prime Minister! Lunatic. In charge of the asylum.

Appeals

During Britain's Coalition Government the Home Secretary, Mrs. Theresa May, said she was going to reduce the number of appeals in immigration cases from 17(!) to 4. The reason for appeals is in case the first decision is wrong. But it could equally have been wrong the other way. Someone could have been given "Indefinite Leave to Remain" wrongly. There is no appeal against that. The Republic of Ireland had a Referendum on the EU. The Government didn't like the result. So they had another one. The Government liked the result, and that was the end of the matter.
