We have heard this week that the right-wing Reform party in Britain, which overtook the Tories in opinion polls last month, are now neck and neck with Labour and heading to be the most popular in the UK very soon.
And it’s no wonder when the majority of the public are so furious over Britain’s failure to get on top of the massive immigration problem.
Here’s yet more examples of how it is going horribly wrong – and these are in the last two weeks alone!
A Pakistani immigrant has been allowed to stay in Britain despite preying on “barely pubescent girls” when his wife would not have sex with him after catching Covid.
The paedophile, who has been granted anonymity for his own protection, was caught in August, 2022, for messaging decoy children he believed were young girls online. He had originally come to Britain on a spousal visa.
He was sentenced to 18 months in prison after admitting three counts of attempting to cause a child under 16 to engage in a sexual act. While in prison he was told he faced deportation. But, of course, he appealed under Human Rights grounds, arguing that his family back in Pakistan would take a dim view of his sexual activities and reprisals could be taken against him. His first appeal failed, but back to the Tribunal he came, and a weak judge decided he would face “significant difficulties” in his home country.
It means he is legally allowed to stay in the UK despite being on the sex offenders’ register until 2032.
Is this the sort of person we want in Britain? If an immigrant commits a crime, and especially a sexual crime against children, it should be deportation, and no ifs and buts and nonsense from Human Rights lawyers and weak judges.
Shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick called this case “disgraceful”. He said: “The public are right to think that our immigration system is rigged in the interests of people who mean us harm, illegal migrants, against the interests of the British public.
“We’ve got to change our human rights architecture in this country so we can get these people out of the country as quickly as possible.”
Reform MP Rupert Lowe weighed in, saying: “My three-step policy solution for dealing with these creatures – deport, deport, deport.”
And what sort of unbelievable nonsense do we get from the Labour controlled Home Office?…
“Foreign nationals who commit crime should be in no doubt that we will do everything to make sure they are not free on Britain’s streets, including removal from the UK at the earliest possible opportunity.”
“We remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring there are no barriers to deport foreign criminals, as it is in the public interest for these people to be removed swiftly.”
Believe that when you see it. It’s no wonder people in Britain are increasingly afraid for their own safety and that of their children.
And if all that is not enough, how about this?
An asylum seeker has been given £100,000 after she complained that she had been “treated like a criminal” after she overstayed in the UK.
A woman – yes, again from Pakistan – was able to fight a 16-year legal battle against the Home Office to remain in the UK.
She came to the UK on a student visa in 2004, argued that she could not return home due to religious reasons.
She said that her Christian faith would make a likely victim of religious persecution in her home country.
How often do we hear of people and countries using religion for their own purposes?
After that she was kept in limbo, in Britain’s ridiculous legal system.
Between 2005 and 2014, she made six applications to stay in the UK.
In 2018 she was detained by Home Office officials who informed her that she would be deported. However, two weeks later, she was released from Yarl’s Wood immigration removal centre.
For three years while she waited for the Government to grant her refugee status, she could not work or travel. She also could not claim any benefits.
During this time she had to rely on friends and family to get by, an experience that “undermined her self-esteem and caused her embarrassment”.
This was a breach of her rights to a family life under the human Rights Act, the judge ruled, and so she gets her £100,000 payout. It’s no wonder that Britain is near bankrupt.
All this could be avoided if such immigrants are instantly deported.
And if all this is not enough, we hear that a UK tribunal has allowed an Albanian illegal who was convicted of a crime to stay in Britain “because his son doesn’t like foreign chicken nuggets”!
Oh, and STOP PRESS: We’ve just heard that Palestinian migrants from Gaza have been granted the right to live in Britain after applying through a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees.
A family of six attempting to flee the Gaza strip have been allowed to join their brother in the UK after an immigration judge ruled that the Home Office’s rejection of their application breached their human rights.
Get ready, Britain, for a Palestinian “invasion”.
It makes me wonder whether people judging these tribunals will accept anything to protect immigrants and illegals, and what planet they are on!
CUT OFF
My last rant focussed on people who use their mobile phones in public, speaking far too loudly in places like restaurants, and I suggested that a law should be introduced banning the use of phones in public places like restaurants and shops.
So hats off to the French. A passenger has been handed a €150 fine for using his phone on loud speaker within a train station.
Let’s toughen up on the use of these wretched mobile phones.
UTTER MADNESS
When we first moved to Spain a woman who I barely knew suddenly kissed me on both cheeks of my face as a greeting.
To say I was surprised was an understatement, but over the years I accept it. No problem – what I didn’t do was to rush to make a complaint of sexual harassment.
At the time of writing, former Spanish football chief Luis Rubiales is on trial for sexual harassment and coercion. Rubiales kissed Jenni Hermoso in front of millions at the 2023 Women’s World Cup final, in Australia. After Spain beat England, Rubiales, during the medal presentation ceremony, lifted the star Spanish player Jenni Hermoso off her feet, grabbed her by the head and appeared to pull her toward him to kiss her on the lips.
If she was so offended by it she should have done what many women do and given him a slap around the face.
And when he discovered she was offended by it he should have given a profound public apology.
But no, and now we have a ridiculous trial, which does the credibility of Spain no good at all, and Rubiales faces the possibility of a jail sentence.
What utter madness – with so many problems around the world why on earth are people being stressed out over a kiss?
THE AMERICAN GULF
Trump is at it again, renaming the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America and slapping 25% tariffs on any country importing steel or aluminium into America.
He wants to turf all Palestinians out and create some sort of tourist utopia in Gaza. He’s turning his sights on the EU and other countries to slap sanctions and goodness knows what else on them.
He seems to want to upset everyone on his quest to put America first.
The danger is that America will become totally isolationist, and that will encourage competitor countries to band together with others who would like to do America harm – and goodness knows where that will end up.
