Despite Mancie's attempts at spin, the fact remains that governments of both political stripes are guilty of creating this ludicrous situation.
The "tough on immigration" Tories for allowing him to stay in 1994, despite his dubious claims for asylum. And the present Labour government for allowing him back into this country, instead of taking the commonsense approach of flying him back to Ethiopia (business-class). This man has no business and no right to be in the UK and any government which thinks otherwise has clearly lost touch with reality.
Like Cashy, I'm bemused at the way that Accywebbers who are members of mainstream political parties are carefully avoiding this thread (apart from Jaysay who, as we know, is a bit of a loose cannon anyway
). Could it be that they know if they defend the view of their parties that this individual should stay in this country, they'll alienate the public at large...or alternatively, if they take the view of most of the British public that he should be sent back to Ethiopia, they risk censure from their party masters? I wonder...
