Frogs boot out Roma

Generally speaking, I have no time for our Gallic friends south of the Channel. However, I am now starting to develop a sneaky admiration for the way in which they put their own citizens first and completely ignore any of this european human rights nonsense.

Today, our garlic-munching chums began to implement the policy of expelling Roma (aka gypos or travellers) back to their country of origin, mainly Rumania and Bulgaria. These characters have formed squatter camps all over the place and as such crime rates have rocketed wherever they are to be found.

I saw a similar picture of our East European neighbours in Peterborough only the other week...camps set up in parks, by roadsides...even in the middle of a roundabout. What do we do about it? Absolutely nowt. And it is the same with our traveller friends who frequently visit Hyndburn, many of them from Southern Ireland. We can't even move them on - never mind kick 'em out the country. I think the last excuse in Church was that one of 'em was waiting for a hospital appointment.

The first planeloads left France today. Good news for the French, but I have a suspicion that they won't be in their home country for long but will shortly be turning up in merry England. What will we do? Probably give them housing, welfare, medical care and of course, legal aid to avoid expulsion.

Lets see what happens.

Good grief Tealeaf I find myself agreeing with ya for a change;)
 
I think we should treat the Human rights act with the same disregard the Fenchies have for it and look after our own folk first.
It is the same with everything, the continentals seem to interpret the rules differently and seem not to be penalised in any way...the Brits follow the rules to the letter, and what do we get?.......a country that is full of undesirables.

Its the British trait of the stiff upper lip and a sense of Fair Play Margaret, which is always held above everything else, that may have been great when Britain was at the forefront of world order, but its now time to say enough is enough, and take a leaf out of every begger else in the European union, and tell um up yours sunshine and on your bike:(
 
The French have a history of this sort of thing. I wonder how many of the ones doing the booting out are the grandchildren and great grandchildren of the French who collaborated with the Germans in order to get rid of the Jews.:confused::rolleyes: And these are the same Germans who refused to leave France until the British, Americans and Canadians kicked their asses back to what the Russians left of Berlin:alright:

I had a chat with a Brit the other day (not surprisingly in a pub). He wants to move to Canada; but, he is overwhelmed by the hoops he will have to jump through to get in .... And here's one for Jaysay. Over here it's the tories who are super tough on immigration. I guess the bottom line is: if you don't have the cash to support yourself, or you don't have skills we need, you don't get in. Well, not legally anyway. There are, of course, exceptions. Haitians got a break, and thousands moved to Quebec (it's a French thing). Race, religion, nationality are not an issue.
 
Eric, am I right in saying a boat has just turned up on the west coast of Canada with about 400 so-called Tamil asylum seekers on board?
 
No...all the way across the Indian and Pacific Oceans (But India being 50 miles away from the start point),

Just been reading about this as I sat on the flush with my morning coffee, and a copy of the local rag: The Whig-(Sub)Standard. At present the rules go something like this: All of the so-called refugee claimants, some of whom paid up to $50, 000 to get here, were immediately detained ... that's ok, 'cause we got nice jails with great views of beautiful British Columbia ... Each claim for refugee status will be judged on its merits. And to be a refugee, Immigration Canada has to be convinced that a claimant faces death, torture, or having to watch re-runs of Oprah, if he is returned to Sri Lanka. However, if it is proven that a claimant is, or has been a member of the Tamil Tigers then he will be incarcerated because the Tigers are a terrorist organization.

Also in the Whig, which is now somewhere in my recycling box, were the results of a poll which suggest that over 60% stated that any refugee ship approaching Canada should be stopped in our territorial waters and escorted back to where it came from by the Royal Candian Navy. About 25% didn't give a damn, or asked for a beer, and the rest said they should be granted refugee status. Poll results here are shown region by region: respondents in Quebec and Alberta are more likely to want them escorted home without setting foot here ... I think the figure in Alberta was 74%.

Me ... I'm for sending them home.:alright:
 
The French model for a quite a few things is beginning to seem like far better common sense than we have in England, fair play to them for getting their own house in order first.

It strikes me a rather bizarre that certain immigrants are eager to flock over here for a better way of life but then seek to replicate what they had back home by crying 'racism' at the first opportunity and being staunchly patriotic.

Or is my perception filter on the blink again?

Think I can agree with you there Ken, I just wonder why we can't ship these people out instead of housing them in centres so they can appeal against deportation on legal aid funded by British Tax payers, before disappearing into the countryside never to be seen again

Regrettably John, the legal and political ins-and-outs of such things are way above the level of a humble local functionary such as myself.

My watchword for everything in this life is 'get your own house in order first' and it seems to be echoed by the masses but who are we to say what goes on in England?

Quite right Ken I have always maintained that we are using laws designed for the 17 century in the 21st, its time we had a bonfire on Parliament Square of all the legal books and start a fresh with laws which are applicable to today and the future

Just another thing too, why don't we reform Parliament along the way, all this pomp with Black Rod banging on the door at the STATE OPENING is a load of crap and a waste of time in my eyes, a simple, parliament is now open, lets get to, it would suffice:D
 
The problem we have here, Ken, is the human rights industry. It's growth rate over the last 20 years or so has been substantially greater even than that of financial services or IT; there is now not a high street within the UK that does not have some legal firm offering 'immigration advice' or similar.

If only this was all exportable then the position would not be too bad; but of course it is not, because this industry is 100% dependent upon public subsidy. We may readily purchase French cheese, but can you imagine the Frogs purchasing British human rights lawyers? I think not.

What is particularly sickening about these characters is the way they will wring their hands as they plead how their criminal clients' rights will be abused, should they be returned to so-and so, while taking no account of the rights of their victims here.At the end of the day they then pick up a nice, juicy taxpayer's cheque. If lawyers do want to do this work, then stop public funding and let them do it as a matter of principle, or as they say in the legal trade, 'pro bono'. Then we shall see how long this industry will survive.
