  1. I suspect there is more to this story than the headlines. As I understand it he claimed to be Algerian initially. Who’s to say he isn’t Algerian? The Moroccans may very well be stalling over issuing travel docs because they doubt he is one of theirs.

    As for the rest of it sadly it is par for the course now. I somehow doubt the Conservatives will repeal any of the legislation brought in by the socialists if they are elected in May. Too many of the MPs on both sides are lawyers so it would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

    OCM the difference between the US and the UK as far as illegal immigration goes is that in the US illegal immigrants do not automatically tap into welfare. They are not given a place to live and a weekly cash handout as soon as they say the magic word “asylum”. Oh and by and large they are not from the religion of peace. If the US shared a border with an islamic country then I think you would really have something to worry about.

  3. ocm ... Nobody was crying in their tea. As an American living here I can see the differences.

    The point of the article was really about how desperately stupid the PC authorities are.
    This guy actually wanted to leave the country, not stay here. And Littlejohn is right. The lunatics are running the asylum.  Not that we don’t have some serious and some pretty stupid problems back home. But I can’t see this happening there. I think if someone wanted to leave, he could.

    Another thing to keep in mind is size.  America is huge, the UK is an ISLAND.  This island can not accept the numbers as readily as a country the size of the USA.

    The problem you mention of 200 years isn’t exactly a fair one.  Our immigration problems are more recent and have a lot to do with bleeding heart liberals on the left and the various human and civil rights groups, which I see as a fifth column in the USA.

    The kind of immigrants America accepted 100 or 200 yrs ago were not at all like the majority of those we get these days.  Was a time in our past when immigrants desperately wanted nothing more then to fit in, they even changed foreign names that were hard or impossible to pronounce, and had an honest desire to be Americans. We were very lucky in the kind of immigrants we got once upon a time. They built America as we know it. And they didn’t do it as anything hyphenated either.  They did it as Americans.

    200 yrs ago we didn’t have any immigration problems. Heck ... we wanted “SKILLED” people and we got em.  In fact, we got more during the un-civil war when the north damn near emptied the jails of Europe with the offer of land in exchange for fighting the Confederacy. Lots of northern boys with no homes to fight for stayed away from that one.

    And btw ... Lyndon is right as always when he points out the fact that one thing America can be thankful for is that the America DOES NOT HAVE ISLAMIC COUNTRIES ON OUR BORDERS. 

    England damn near does. Those folks are much closer to us here then they are to you over there.  You would have to live here and share the experience to appreciate how, with all our problems in the USA, just how lucky folks are in the USA.

    That’s another issue as well.  American really do not know how lucky.

    Finally .. thanks for the link to that site. Very interesting and btw, the writing was interesting as well.

  4. Land of wimps my ass. That they have em is not deniable but then ,, so does America.

    As an American living here, I see and read the DAILY death and casualty reports from a war zone, where young Brit kids are fighting and dying and worse. Coming home so badly maimed they might as well be dead.  I see the reports of honors too, by kids (woman as well) who have committed acts of bravery in the tradition of their proud past.
    I have seen the interviews with regard to a wounded nurse (female) who refused to evacuate while there were wounded soldiers to tend.
    WIMPS MY FUCKIN ASS ....

  5. (Cause GB is the land of whimps

    Pardon me Walking Eagle ... but I believe that is YOUR quote above.
    All I am saying is, it is not a land of wimps just because there are wimps here.

    The USA has em too. Would you then say that the US is also a “Land Of Wimps?”
    That’s all I was saying and now the subject is closed for me.
