Welcome to "Sunny Britain", the home of terrorists & criminals where anything goes!

Another "hiccup"

"It springs to my mind these people appear disposable, almost like slavery, and no-one seems to care.’

"A UK Border Agency spokesman said: ‘Each claim for settlement is considered on individual circumstances and in line with published policy."

Then someone should ensure that the policy should contain some "common sense", or is that too much to expect?

"Sapper Hiri’s supporters have urged David Cameron to intervene, pointing out the UKBA’s decision is at odds with the Premier’s pledge to uphold the Military Covenant, society’s duty of care to servicemen."

C'mon Del-boy, get off your ass & start taking actions that count!

"But Mr Clegg's demands are not just ideologically at odds with the aims of his Coalition partners, they are also economically illiterate.

Surprising coming from someone of this stature....Deputy PM

"He worked as a business consultant and part-time university lecturer before his election as MP for Sheffield Hallam in 2005" Are those business'es still viable?

Del boy & Rodney's silliness

I've been castigated for rubbishing these 2 plonkers, so will the castigator attend parliament & complain about the following?

"For that reason, Tim Yeo’s damaging phrase on these pages on Tuesday may stick. For one of the godfathers of the Tory modernising movement to ask if Mr Cameron is “a man or a mouse” is the equivalent of Lord Mandelson admitting that Tony Blair is fallible.

Privately, some other Tory MPs don’t rate their current leader as highly even as a mouse. “I’m afraid people sense he’s not got greatness stamped on him. And now he’s got Boris on his case,” says one. “There is no idea of where we are going,” says another. One young MP is even more bleak. “The guy is finished. Cameron doesn’t know what to do.”

I love it when officialdom backs me up!

July 7 survivor faces deportation from Britain

A university lecturer injured in the 7/7 bombings faces being expelled from the UK even though he was born to British parents in a British colony.

Ok lets try and tweak out the salient facts here.

He was born to a British Army officer in pre-independence India. Unknown to him, this conferred a lesser form of British nationality known as a “British subject without citizenship”. He was, he says, never told about this status and was issued with a British passport in the normal way.

After a degree at Cambridge, postgraduate study at Sussex and a career in UK academia, Prof Tulloch took a job in Australia and was granted Australian citizenship. Unlike with a full British citizen, and again unknown to him, this automatically cancelled both his British nationality and his right to live in Britain. When he applied to renew his British passport, it was confiscated.

A UK Border Authority spokesman said: “It is the responsibility of an individual to check that they will not lose a previously acquired nationality or citizenship on acquiring an additional one.” However, Home Office sources said that it was still open to Prof Tulloch to apply for leave to remain in the country if he wished.

Good post as you've highlighted the problems most Civil Servants have to face on a daily basis. Laws, rules & regulations are in place for a specific reason as without them, it would be total chaos.

The main problem is that the majority of civil servants do act correctly & go out of their way to assist people with the "correct" advice, however, there are times when they find their decisions overturned by higher ups that just does not make sense. When this happens enough, those servants just end up going with the flow, which only makes matters worse.

As for the passport situation, this really does need cleaning up & thoroughly defined. Every member of my family which included my late parents could hold (& do) a British passport, yet I am not, & all because I was born after 1948. Makes one wonder!
