We Wuz Tricked!

This Government is in power because of Brexit. Which would never have come about but for voters' concerns about immigration. Which has gone up since Brexit! Conservative MPs currently vying to become Prime Minister will talk about anything to boost their chances, but none of them will say a word about immigration. Why? This wilfull ignoring of the problem makes them appear as if they are dissembling - like Putin. We wuz tricked out of Leaving the European Union. But nobody'll notice if we just talk about the Cost of Living, Energy Prices and Raising/Cutting taxes. And the War in Ukraine.

"Rights" mean only what lawyers want them to mean

"Everyone's right to life shall be protected by law." Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights. This means that countries that are signaturies of the Convention and have conscription - like Russia and Ukraine - are breaking the law. Either that or the concept of "rights" is a nonsense. Which is it? (Come to that, what about volunteer armed forces? They are put in harm's way, so how are they legal?).... "Is there any point in having armed forces?" is on this blog on 1 July 2018.

Jarring

The privileged position of women has long been recognised by the international community, according to the Council of Europe, because they can live in other countries through marriage - while men often cannot. Foreigners can live in Britain while Brits often cannot live in their countries. "Equality" laws then entitle them to deprive Brits of work, housing, etc. But do the British complain? No..... Instead actresses complain about being called actresses. so we have to endure the BBC and others calling actresses actors. This is ghastly, jarring and offensive..... Please see this blog of 18 April 2017 for more on the power and misuse of language (i.e. disinformation) and 26 July 2018 for more on the politicisation of the BBC.

End Ongoing Injustices

These boats crossing the English Channel with illegals could soon be stopped. The illegals could have claimed asylum in France so they are clearly not genuine refugees. Give a warning that the next boatload will be deported, if not to France then back to their own countries, and they will be kept in a detention centre until they are. Then do it.... We are told some countries don't take back their illegals (e.g. Iran, China, Vietnam). It implies they can never be deported. This injustice has been going on a long time. Mrs Thatcher complained of "economic migrants" back in the 1980s. The guilty countries want hard currency sent back to them. Politicians/diplomats should have ended this scam years ago.

Muggers Mug Mugs!

Labour's Sir Kier Starmer and David Milliband both say asylum seekers whose claims fail should be deported. But the Conservatives' Security and Borders Minister, Damien Hines, says (BBC Radio 4 "Today" today) that none are deported. (!) So why vote Tory? And why have an elaborate and expensive asylum system, employing many thousands of people, when its decisions aren't acted upon?.... The nonsense of Britain's asylum system was exposed, for everyone to see, when, last August, hundreds (thousands?) of British nationals were repatriated from Kabul. These were Afghans. Who had come to Britain, claimed asylum, got British nationality and gone back to Afghanistan for their holidays! "Asylum" is exploited by mainly young men to get around normal immigration controls. Muggers mug mugs!

Passing the Buck

More than 20 illegals drowned in the English Channel yesterday. The British Government blames people traffickers. But the British Government is the biggest people trafficker. It provides a Ferry Service from midway across the Channel. And moreover it's Free! Besides, by not deporting any of the 25,000+ illegals who have entered England this way so far this year the British Government sends a signal to everyone throughout the world that the way to avoid normal immigration controls and get permanent residence in the UK is to cross the Channel in a small boat. (!) .... These illegals could've claimed asylum in France, so they're clearly not genuine refugees. They should be promptly deported. But they're not. Prefering to live in the UK, partly because English is a more international language than French, is no reason why they should be allowed to live here.... But they are. Unjustly.

"Dead in the Water"

Home Secretary Priti Patel has ordered the UK Border Force to escort small boats with illegals crossing the English Channel back to France "if it's safe to do so". This plan is "dead in the water", said an Immigration Service union official on BBC Radio 4 "Today" because it requires the French to co-operate - and they won't. When the first (?) of these smalll boats arrived in England with illegals in 2018 the Immigration Minister just meekly said "It's deeply concerning". This was an open invitation for more to come. They should, instead, have been promptly put on a ferry back to France. If the French had refused them permission to land they should then have been sent back to their own countries. That would have stopped these crossings dead in the water. Instead, many thousands - more than invaded England in 1066! - have been allowed to take up permanent residence here, bypassing Britain's elaborate, expensive and "broken" (Priti Patel's word) asylum system.
