no english spoken here

OK, fun’s over. Riots have stopped for now and authorities are getting serious.  Nothing like locking the barn door, eh.

UK riots: Home Secretary considering new general curfew powers
Police could be handed new curfew powers to clear the streets of rioters, Theresa May, the Home Secretary, said today.

Oh good. So somebody noticed. Meanwhile ......

So what DOES it take to deport a criminal? Judge cuts drug-dealing migrant’s sentence so he won’t get kicked out

* Vincent Miller had already been deported twice

* Stole identities so he could get work

* Decision provokes fierce backlash from critics

* Home Office insists it will seek to deport Miller

By JACK DOYLE and JAMES SLACK

A judge cut the sentence of an illegal immigrant and drug dealer yesterday to help him escape deportation.

Vincent Miller was kicked out of the UK twice but managed to return and stay for more than a decade by stealing the identities of British citizens.

Yet when the 33-year-old was sentenced, the judge said sending him home to Jamaica would be ‘devastating’ for his three children.

Incredibly, he deliberately shortened the sentence Miller would have received from a year to 11 months. Criminals given 12 months face automatic deportation proceedings.

Recorder Farook Ahmed told Miller: ‘The sentence I have had in mind was 12 months, but it seems to me that it isn’t necessary for me to pass a sentence of 12 months because a sentence of 11 months will have the same effect, and it would take away the automatic triggering of deportation. I have taken into account that if you were to be deported it is bound to have a devastating effect on your three children, who I’m told are lawfully here in the UK.’

The judge’s decision provoked a fierce backlash.

A huh .. the judges name is what? Farook? Ahmed?  Well Farook you dummy. Gotta wonder where that guy’s head is. But then, why should he care. Bet his loyalty isn’t English based. Yeah I know. I’m being stroppy. No, more mean spirited I think. Just tired of the BS is all. Tired also of seeing names in papers no English speaking person could pronounce. Not talking about this judge but others in the news most days. Both good and bad but all sharing a grouping of letters that pass for names. And we’re all suppose to become linguists I guess.

Well I suppose that official wanted to guard his human rights to a family. All very understandable. Right? 

Now take a look at this one.  It’ll probably get buried under all the riot news and the latest murders of a family of 6 stabbed to death by angry immigrant husband.

It’s racist to bar me from your country! Meet the Indian husband in immigration battle who refuses to learn English and is calling on others to join him
By SANJAY JHA and DAVID WILLIAMS

The Indian man challenging immigration laws which block non-English speakers from coming to live in Britain said yesterday he hopes ‘many other people’ will come if he wins.

Talking about his case for the first time, Vali Chapti, a farmer who wants to join his wife in Leicester, also insisted that he would never learn English.

Speaking to the Daily Mail in his remote village, he said he could easily ‘get by’ without English because there were many Gujarati speakers in Leicester and it would be the main language where he would live.

The 57-year-old also branded Britain’s immigration system ‘racist and discriminatory’ and said his human rights had been breached in a ‘disgraceful way’ by rules introduced by Home Secretary Theresa May requiring immigrants to have a basic command of English.

His wife Rashida, 54, has begun a court challenge funded by legal aid against the rules, which are aimed at ensuring immigrants can integrate into British society.

Mr Chapti said he was confident his case would be successful and added that hoped to bring one of his sons with him to the UK.

‘How can the British Government deny me the right to live with my wife at this late stage of my life because I am unable to speak the language?’ asked Mr Chapti, who has been married for 37 years.

He said several of their seven children had previously applied for visas to join their mother but they too had been turned down.

Mr Chapti, who has seen his wife once in the past six years, said: ‘I have faith in the right of a husband and wife to be together. I want to come as soon as I can to England.

‘However long it takes we will fight until we receive justice in this case. If we are rejected, we will appeal again and again for our human rights to be respected.’

And he claimed that if the challenge is successful, it will set a precedent that will ‘open the gates’ for other spouses around the world kept apart by the rules introduced as part of the Government’s attempts to curb net immigration.

‘My wife may be fighting for me, however when we win the victory it will help so many other people who want to come to the UK but can’t due to the present immigration law making English mandatory.’

Mr Chapti said he had dropped out of school aged nine – he can barely read or write in his mother tongue, Gujarati – and has no intention of trying to learn English.

‘It’s not easy to learn a foreign language late in life especially when I have not even finished my proper education at school in India and, except Gujarati, I don’t speak any other language properly.’

Perhaps at his age and level of education, it might not be possible to learn a new language. But his wife could always move back to where he is.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
