Not a bad idea, they certainly know how to treat women!

Almost certainly. The Coalition will control the Senate from 1 July so don't be surprised if you see an amendment to the Migration Act coming through.

[QUOTE=Larissa]What we go through for visa applications is *nothing* in comparison to what some of these poor guys go through. [QUOTE]

Please, Larissa, tell us, WHAT are they going through? Skill assessment, medicals? Sorry, they are not sudanese.

Well Said.

I too live in London and have seen it go to the dogs since President Blair was
elected. Increased crime (forget the statistics that say crime is going down, it isn't), increased anti social behaviour, etc ,etc, etc.

How far reaching are the implications of this case?

[QUOTE=Koza][QUOTE=Larissa]What we go through for visa applications is *nothing* in comparison to what some of these poor guys go through. Skill assessments are a doddle compared to packing all your possessions into one bag and running the gauntlet of trying to get into a country that will consider assylum. Would you like to put your family in the hands of people smugglers? The assylum application itself probably makes ACS RPLs and TRAs seem like primary school stuff.

l think johnny howard will find some way to overule the high court by amending the legislation or something, because his hard line on asylum seekers is probably the only reason he has remained Prime Mininster for so long.

Those that are coming to the UK tend to be men aged between 20/30, we use agents to help us where as the assylum seeker uses solicitors who can string out the process at the expense of the tax payer while being housed, given benefit support and still be able to buy a car, mobile phone etc. One example that is in the news today, a illegal immigrant whoes application has been turned down 4 times was convicted of killing a 12 year old boy while driving in a uninsured car with no driving license, he got a 7 week sentance which he had already served 6. The parents said if the assylum process was working that there son would still be alive today.

One example from the 1000s. Very representative. Are you saying car accidents are to be blamed on assylum seekers or that English people never drive uninsured? A lot of assylum seekers work illegally on the side because the supposed benefits are so hard to live on. You nearly touched on the real issue which is the speed of processing which is shocking. Speed up the processing so illegitimate applications can be rejected and those who have genuine cases can be allowed to get into British society. BTW assylum applications in the UK are dropping.

Shock, horror lawyers stringing out processes at tax payers expense. Never would happen elsewhere in the world, especially Australia!

My brothers partner is being done for racism at work because she called Sven Goren Erikson a 'big girls blouse' and said the English team should have an English captain....meaning in the same way as to play for England you have to be English so to manage England you should be English. Who ever heard of racism againt the Swedish... :scared: .

You say that they work to supplement there benefits that are low, well they still seem able to go out night clubbing and buy the latest trainers. Lets get one thing clear i have no problem with people escaping persuction, it's the volume of economic migrants that is the biggest concern, who be it through people smuggling or illegal entry we have no idea who they are . Again recent concerns about the migrants that are coming to the UK with no health checks and the rising inncrease of TB,AIDS, and other diseases ( yes aware that we have our own health problems) . Is it true that you can not claim assylum in Germany if you have crossed another countrys borders to get into Germany. The recent expantion of the EU, Germany said that people from these new member states could not go there and claim benefits for two years the Uk lets them claim straight away.My point was not to single out one case but to show that the system has failed (as has been agreed with by the new home secretary). All we need is some one with back bone to say that this country has had its share, but you would get linched by the loony left calling you racist, burying there head in the sand instead of talking about the concerns of a large part of the population.I live in Birmingham which in 2 years the white population will be the minority. I think this shows the fact that the UK is a tolerent place but we must draw the line some where.
