observer Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Well it seems the powers`that be are discovering that un-managed immigration is placing a strain on public services and compromising anti-poverty efforts in poor areas.

observer Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 "NET CONTRIBUTION" - still touting that myth Mutz? And assuming they catch and round up this gang; will they deport them? Nope, into our overcrowded prisons no doubt, or even worse, community service. Tough on the causes of crime? You must be joking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer Posted April 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Not quite sure on the actual mechanics but; I've read that EU immigrants arriving in this Country are issued with an NI number, which entitles them to benefits; should they be unable to work and contribute to our economy!

observer Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Seems OUR Government is well and truly hamstrung by European Human Rights Legislation. Yet another reason to exit the EU; exit the Human Rights Legislation and get these characters back where they belong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky71 Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 careful, to some on here, anyone who says anything negative aabout immigration MUST be a nazi, paid up, raging BNP member. On a serious note though, shouldn't we be getting our Burberry cap wearing locals who congregate on Mersey Street with their mobiles, working, before we allow migrants in to take the menial jobs.

observer Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Unfortunately the BNP believe in the divisive concept of mult-culturalism; which is basically a form of apartide. As for the "burberry set"; if you mean OUR young folk; I thought they don't do "menial", and prefer to qeueue for the X factor?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Kennedy Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Originally posted by observer: Two suspected terrorists from Libya, cannot be deported back to THEIR homeland, because they may suffer torture. Bit radical, but maybe Mr Justice Ouseley, the Chairman of the Special Immigration Appeals Commission (Siac), who said they could not be returned, should be held personally responsible for any criminal actions that the two might commit whilst in the UK. Soon see a swift change in the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Observer maybe Britain should reintroduce torture then they wouldn't want to come here either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 There's a kind of reverse logic in that!!! However, if you look closer; you may find our military still do torture unofficially; and the Yanks even have contracts with "torture States" through an arms length system called "extraordinary rendition"!

observer Posted April 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 Part of the reason we are losing the so-called "war on terror"; we've thrown away the moral high ground, and the actions of Bush and Bliar have merely become a recruiting sergeant for Al Quaeda.

Peter T Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 I think we have become TOO humanised and have forgotten how to fight fire with fire. As in N.I. the IRA were at war, Britain was just policing the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
