As I mentioned on a previous comment that the west have destroyed families and infrastructures in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria you will see that more will come to seek asylum from brutal regimes yet others will come for retribution for the families killed by western interference.

We must get a grip on unidentified illegal migrants, we can't simply keep allowing woke agendas to dominate common sense.
Look at the latest speculation of allowing a family of 6 from Gaza to settle in the UK because they have a relative that has been here (probably of an expired student visa) for 10 years, this could open the floodgates for up to 2 million Palestinians in through the back door of the Ukraine family scheme settlement programme.

It's also could open the door to others in conflict zones that have a relative in the UK, this is a massive threat to national security and we will be paying for it in more ways than one - it is insanity!!!

This idiotic Judge is using the ECHR (Article 8) for the right to a family life rule, this needs to be scrapped and rewritten under new British law, but with an ex human rights lawyer as our commie, anti British P.M you can guess that's not going to happen while he is at the helm.

Who makes the laws, the decisions on immigration, Parliament / Gov, or these judges that use the ECHR not only to appease their personal political beliefs but also to earn substantial amounts on money from it.

The judge by the way is Hugo Norton-Taylor, his father is an ex-Guardian journalist who campaigns against Israel online.

We are going to see more attacks, more poverty and lose more rights at cost.

Ticket Touts How??

Post by Musicman1965 »

Lots of information on the internet but nothing that explains how ticket touts can buy tickets in high numbers, online denying real customers that actually want to see the gig. How are they defeating the the website? Don't you have to supply a name for the person buying the ticket? Is there a bot protection that you have to fill in on site to prove you are a human customer.....? How are they getting away with it? and how can this be changed to defeat the touts.

John Eustace Decision!!!

Post by Musicman1965 »

When you think of ex players taking over as manager not many succeed. What makes John Eustace so unique he has passed on a real chance of getting Blackburn Rover into a playoff position and the opportuninty to get into the Premier League through the back door playoffs. The achievement would have put Eustace's services at a all time high, even though we all know he is a very good manager.
His words state that he want to go and manage Derby County where he sees a brighter future and a long term plan. Derby are sitting in the lower half of the table with enough games left to get them out of trouble. Is it the right decision? Will Derby show loyalty in return..?
Either way there are not many managers that have taken jobs to battle relegation while coming from a top 6 club in the same division. Hope it works out for him

Manchester Airport Attackers plea 'Not Guilty' despite video evidence and witness statements.
This comes after they were not charged for months, then when they were charged by the CPS they were released on bail where others were arrested, sentenced and jailed for Facebook posts within 72 hours.

Let's see where this goes.

Is this the one where they attacked the police, went on tele with their solicitor pleading innocence, then video evidence emerged showing them attacking the police?

Yes.

They released the video of the one of the brothers getting stamped on by an armed police officer.

Then someone released the video footage of what lead up to that, which was them attacking the armed officers and broke one police officers nose.

Then the CPS were looking into prosecuting the ones that released the phone footage. :roll: yet it took them months to even bring charges to these numbskull brothers, one of which attacked his own mother - it's on the video.

This is in an airport where security is paramount and attacking armed officers, that officer is allowed to used what ever force necessary to deter an attack where a firearm is in close proximity.

This will now go to trail at the tax payers expense.

Unbelievable!!!

By the way the lawyer Akhmed Yakoob that represented these mugs, then quit when the other video evidence emerged now wants to be a Islamic Party Leader to enforce more secularism into British politics.

Thank you for the clarification, how on earth can they plead ‘not guilty’, beggars belief 🙄🙄🙄

It's crazy, BB.

Some say they are playing the race card victims as the videos were silent, so it's trail by jury now without being remanded in custody.

I personally think that those that pleaded guilty for hurty words on social media were told to plead guilty but Starmer insisted they were given harsh prison sentences as a warning to others, which you'd think they'd get less time for - they didn't.

The evidence against them is purely overwhelming, how on earth they can deny it is beyond belief or just how they got bail is another one.

Many think that they'll get away with it.

J. D. Vance gets a cool reception in Munich. Says many things about free speech an immigration and also elections, and the audience just didn't want to hear it. Most of the speech was met with a stoney silence. He spoke softy but carried a big stick, and the Europeans didn't like it.

The silent video thing means zilch surely, they were literally attacking the police. Didn’t one policewoman suffer a broken nose.

Absolute disgrace if they get away with it.

Hypothetically they 'could' claim that the cops used racist anti islam words that were not picked up on the videos and they reacted to it.

Just a theory but let's hope the cops all had their body cams on.

Bradford Council have spent a fortune on a huge islamic minaret sculpture to be installed before summer and a Ramadan arched Pavilion in the name of inclusivity and diversity.

:roll:

Let's face it Labour need those votes.

Immigration not so simple!

Post by Musicman1965 »

You would think that English people have rights? Well when it comes to bringing your wife or husband that you are legally married to then there is a problem. Its not so simple if you want to go the legal route. Any wife or husband that you are married to that is not a UK citizen is subject to a spouse visa.... my god its bad.. Ok firstly we are talking about a British Citizen married to someone outside the EU.
Now it starts, Visa application £1100.00, this is to apply and non refundable if unsuccessful.... Next we can't have anyone bleeding the UK system ( this never happens) so the Uk partner has to earn £18,600 as a wage to allow his wife or partner to live in the UK. Recently this has been changed to £36,000, who the feck earns this amount outside London.
There is more you need prove that you earn this before your wife or partner is allowed in the country.. Not great... now I have to be in the Uk get a job and earn the money for 6 months so my legal wife can stay with me in my own own country of birth... It doesn't end there, once all the criteria has been met my wife needs to take a English test to make sure she knows enough English language to fit in..... Its a joke isn't it.
We see so many people being allowed to stay in the Uk under the asylum system.... It doesn't matter if you are a UK citizen, you have more rights to remain as a family then me................ Bit of a sore point ............ off down to the local Sports Direct to buy a rubber boat and claim that I am from Ukriane, Syria, Albania and the list goes on so I can get everything for nothing... Feckin UK never looks after its own....

We are in Singapore right now. Here are a couple of observations
It looks and feels like the United States wishes it was. Clean, modern, safe and caring.

It is nice to see so many white dads and grandad's around town with their Asian daughters and granddaughters.

I suspect there is more to this than meets the eye. Moving from a potential top six club to on facing possible relegation is not one that many would take.

As they are out on bail it is likely that they will have disappeared by now.
