The Home Secretary actually overruled the UK courts who had kicked out the extradition application !!!

Yes; we are back to my original point; the final ruling and 'nail in the coffin' was the Strasbourg court and would have been so regardless of whether we had the Human Rights Act or not. Reform is needed there and the rest will follow down.
The 'witch' as you call her is a member of Matrix chambers, she seems to be a woman of brilliant intellect but devoid of any everyday common sense (my opinion anyway). (Also money grabbing).

This is really, really, frightening. - although it does state the obvious. When one dies, another takes his place.

6 May: Daily Mail (UK). Boyband Blue have been given the thankless task of saving our national pride at the Eurovision Song Contest with the song I Can… Last year the UK polled last … Blue members Lee Ryan, Antony Costa, Simon Webbe and Duncan James are using Eurovision to relaunch their careers … And if it all goes wrong? ‘We’re emigrating,’ says Antony. ‘I’m going straight to Goa,’ adds his bandmate Simon Webbe … The Eurovision Song Contest airs on BBC1 on May 14.

We will have to tell them about the visa situation!:rofl:


US: Protests Continue over Indian Visa Rules.

6 May: Indo-American News. Seldom has a cause galvanized the desi community in Houston as much as the changes and requirements over the past two years in the issuing of visas by the Indian government …This time the furore is not just over bad service and delays but also over rules that inflict additional inconvenience and burden on to the desi community settled overseas as well as tourists…The two-month rule is a particular irritant … “You mean a terrorist would apply for a re-entry visa?” fumed one protestor

actually thinking about it, maybe if the std Injun is anything to go by, it was the drag of their ever expanding Y fronts that proved the obstacle and all that was needed was some correctly fitted swimming attire.

EmailPrint......Kuala Lumpur (The Star/ANN) - India is reviewing certain aspects of restrictions on tourist visas which now require a mandatory two-month wait before re-entry into the country.

External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said exceptions were made to bona fide tourists and visitors in certain cases.

"This is a policy which applies to all countries. Aspects of it are being reviewed by our government," he said in an interview before leaving for New Delhi.

Asked what aspects were being reviewed, Krishna, who was here to attend the Fifth India-Malaysia Joint Commission Meeting, said the matter was under the purview of the Home Ministry.

"We do realise the discomfiture that it has caused (to Malaysian tourists). With internal security uppermost on our mind, we will have to balance the advantages with the disadvantages," he added.

The Indian Government tightened its rules on all categories of tourist visas in January last year to counter terrorism threats.

Malaysian tourists who had enjoyed six-month multiple-entry visas to visit friends and relatives prior to the ruling are restricted to two visits within the visa period.

Krishna said he had received appeals from tourists who had been hit by the restrictive ruling.

Indian travel agents here had appealed to the Indian High Commission to review the policy. Malaysia has the largest Indian diaspora in the world.

Krishna said the visa ruling aside, people-to-people exchanges between India and Malaysia were developing satisfactorily.

"We have agreed on ways to sustain these trends in the coming year," he added.
