So, Bleughh and Blunkers’ half-arsed, oh-so-public attempt to reduce the number of asylum seekers by starving and freezing them out of Britain has met with total defeat at the hands of the judiciary. Anyone surprised by this outcome? Bleughh and Blunkers aren’t. They knew exactly what would happen, hoping their bogus attempt at reform would fool us all into thinking the government was actually “doing something”.
“New” Labour incorporated Europe’s human rights legislation into English Law. They were warned that it would open the floodgates to the gross abuse of Britain’s asylum laws but, in their now familiar arrogant fashion, went ahead and did it anyway. Now the human rights issue hangs around their collective necks like a very large and putrefying albatross. See the maggots wriggle!
Who has the most to gain from this multi-billion pound industry ( Surely you mean human rights legislation? Ed.)? Who was responsible for forcing it through Parliament and onto the statute books? This feeding frenzy only attracts one type of shark – lawyers! It is not in their interests to prevent bogus asylum seekers entering this country because any such restriction (like the one practiced most successfully in Holland) would severely restrict the flow of cash into their already bulging pockets. The fact that Cherie Bleughh is a senior partner in Matrix, a firm of lawyers who specialise in the lucrative Human Rights legislation, is, we are told, not a conflict of interest – probably in the same way that Bleughh’s mentor, Lord Chancellor Irvine, didn’t get his job through an act of blatant cronyism.
To muddy the waters further, information regarding the last census has been released and it indicates that there has not been a significant rise in the number of ethnic minorities residing in Britain. Call me stupid but surely the form would only have been completed by people who had a legal right to live in Britain at the time of the census, including foreign students and foreign nationals with work permits. What about the hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants who did not complete a census form and those who have entered the country since then?
Britain cannot continue to take in all comers regardless of status. Genuine refugees must be made welcome; to do otherwise would not be humanitarian. But there must be put in place a process by which the genuine can be sorted from the bogus and the bogus claimants deported. The Human Rights law needs either to be drastically amended or thrown out and redrafted. Of course, the judiciary will have something to say about any such move to reform Human Rights laws. And the loser, as always, is the poor bloody taxpayer!
