Don't disillusion the blinkered members please, and pop back in your little box they've made for you, just like the rest of us.

Happily the little boxes they insist in putting us in are Jack-in-a Box boxes, unbeknownst to them, and you're free to jump out and suprise them at random, when they least expect it.

Well to quote a twenty year old Eat My Shorts

Someone asked if I could come on here and defend the Government's decision on this. I cannot, in all honesty, do so.

This man applied for asylum here many years ago and was refused - at this point he should, in my opinion, have been deported back to Ethiopia where is a citizen. Instead, he was allowed to remain in the UK. He repaid our hospitality by visiting Afghanistan (why?) after the allied invasion and was arrested in Pakistan, apparently in the company of Jihadis. Whilst I certainly don't find what happened to him subsequently acceptable, I can see no reason why he should be allowed back into the UK. I understand that the Government are currently reveiwing his immigration status but I can see no reason why he cannot be removed to his country of nationality.

thanks fer the response greg.

Wynonie Harris · 26-02-2009, 14:44

Good post, Greg and I agree with what you're saying. It's a pity that more mainstream politicians either don't have these views, or are afraid to state them publicly, as their absence simply leaves the way open for right-wing extremists to exploit the situation.

However, I think you're being a little optimistic with your last statement. I'll bet you a pint of Black Sheep that he's still here in five years' time!

Can't fault that reply Greg, at least you are in touch with what the most of Britain think on this issue. fair play to you

Well let's hope Greg's in a more prominent position to ensure it happens, perhaps in the Cabinet.

Thanks for the reply Greg, its just a shame the rest of the Government are not as in touch with reality as yourself.

Morecambe Ex Pat · 26-02-2009, 18:03

I take my hat off to Greg Pope for giving a straight forward answer to a straight forward question. It makes a welcome change from some of the cross party bickering we have witnessed in this forum recently. Anyone who applies for asylum or citizenship and doesn't get it should be returned to their native land ASAP.

Happily for his constituents, as far as I can recall, it's happened every time a question has been asked of him here on Accy Web.

Which in itself is really quite a remarkable feat, as the questions may be hidden anywhere on a thread, amongst the banal musings of the Trolls.

As long as you come out with a clean sheet..font of all knowledge...that is all right with me....trolls is your word not mine.
I still think your opinion sucks until you convince me different.
Pantomime dame is one thing but real life situations as far as the government is concerned, which you refuse to address is something quite different.
Go for it Rindi...make a real star of yourself and take on the real problems.
If you are able?
