Yes obviously the face should not be covered on official documents I can't understand how such a photograph would be accepted. I dont think you can ban headscarves as such (Hijab). The Queen likes them!:D As to Abu Qatada I think the Home Secretary is doing her best, it depends on Jordan convincing the European court he will get a fair trial. |

How is this possible Dread ? surely a photograph with face covered would be rejected by passport office, DVLA etc.?

Apologies - use of wrong term - instead of jihab, read abeyah or bhurka. Bipat I have news for you............they do not get rejected by UKPA or anywhere else. Often as well these people have immigration status for full asylum and a foreign passport, but because of having indefinite leave to remain, or having leave to remain without restrictions, they have entitlement to NI numbers and benefits whilst they apply for citizenship.

Even a headscarves are dangerous when driving, as you cannot see out of the corner of your eye if it inadvertantly moves. So if the Queen was driving I would also tell her it is dangerous. As for AbuQatada, just send him home, never mind the consequences, he made his choice and has to live with it. Our children's security is far more important that this guy. |

It is not his importance, it is the consequence of going against the European Court. We have signed up to the European Convention it is not possible to pick and choose when to follow the judgement. (I agree the Convention needs updating and amending).
B-Liar forced the Human Rights Act via back door policies when it was not needed in the UK - the only difference it made in the Uk was to disable our ability to deport people - statute laws already existed covering all the other 'freedoms' listed in the act. If I were a cynic, I might wonder what the point was - after all Cheri B-Liar was a human rights specialist lawyer and made millions out of the HR Act ........... :frown::thumbdown: Dread - x |

I do find it rather ironic that the UK cannot deport people like Abu Qatada and others of his hate preaching ilk, yet the governments of France and Germany and other European countries don;t hesitate to deport undesirables, regardless of what countries they are returning to.

Is India a good place to retire?
26 Feb: The Sunday Times (UK). By Sally Howard. What's life really like for Britons retiring in India? On the face of it, the appeal is obvious: 20c curries, top-notch healthcare and reliable sun. But so too are the downsides: poverty and potholes; bleating horns and baffling bureaucracy… John Phimister, 72, is a retired salad farmer from London, but now lives in Siolim with his Indian wife, Babi, 52, and their sons Malcolm, 24, and David, 19… In December, a group of European retirees living in Goa petitioned the government to create a special visa category for the over-55s… Delhibased property developer Sumeet Bhalla is raising capital for a string of garden retirement homes across India, with on-site medical care. "One of our key target sectors is the overseas market," he tells me, "initially British NRIs living in the UK." … -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NO SPECIAL STATUS FOR GOA 27 Feb: IBNS. Taking a U-turn on bestowing a special status to Goa, Congress on Monday said that no new states will be added to the special state status category… The statement is a stark contradiction to what UPA Chairperson and Congress President Sonia Gandhi assured in a rally in December 2011 www.goanvoice.org.uk |
