Save this for when you get really po’d re. American immigration/border policies, and then

BE DAMN THANKFUL YOU DON’T HAVE THIS.  Or do we?

Another gem from Richard Littlejohn.  There’s two actually and I’ll post the other one separately. For now however, put you eyes on this.  It’s been going on a long time now, and I can not understand how or why people who hold offices and who are generally well educated, can at the very same time be so damn stupid.  They really are killing this country with kindness.  Or maybe it isn’t intended kindness at all.
Bottom line.  As he is so often, Littlejohn is correct.

The lunatics now have full control of the asylum.  Not funny.

When it comes to asylum, the lunatics really have taken over

By Richard Littlejohn

This morning’s edition of You Couldn’t Make It Up stars 31-year-old Moroccan Rashid Ali, who came to this country six years ago in search of a better life.

He tore up his passport and pretended to be Algerian, in the belief that he stood more chance of being granted asylum.

A short while after arriving, he decided that Britain wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. So, naturally, he decided to leave.

With the myriad problems we have deporting failed asylum seekers and terrorists, you might have thought the authorities would be happy to see the back of him.

After all, the Government has resorted to bribing illegal immigrants to go home, even chartering special flights to repatriate them.

So they should have been offering to drive Rashid to the airport and bidding him a fond farewell. Missing you already.

But the Moroccans are in no rush to get him back and have failed to issue him with a new passport. And because he has no papers, British officials refused to let him leave. When he tried to escape, he was arrested and put in detention.

So far, he has stowed away on six cargo ships, but each time he has been brought back. He has even been offered his own flat to persuade him to stay put, but refused.

Rashid is currently being held in a ‘removals’ centre near Heathrow, even though he won’t be going anywhere fast.

This Kafkaesque farce has been running since 2004, during which time Rashid has been jailed for nine months for stealing a coat and made the subject of a deportation order.

More than a year ago a judge promised to ‘kick some backsides’ at the Home Office, saying the refusal to repatriate him beggared belief.

It costs £43,000 a year to keep him in detention. The bill to the British taxpayer, including legal fees, adds up to more than £300,000.

We have known for a decade that Britain’s asylum and immigration system is absurd. But this case is beyond bonkers.

If Rashid Ali wants to leave, let him. If Morocco doesn’t want him, he can try his luck somewhere else.

Where he goes next is not our problem. He is not a British citizen and we have no obligation towards him.

Rashid is being held in a secure unit because of fears he may abscond. But he wants to abscond, for heaven’s sake.

Officials also say they are concerned that he may hurt himself if he tries to stow away on another ship. I suppose it was inevitable that elf’n’safety would have a walk-on part in this fiasco.

Ever since the pernicious ‘yuman rites’ act was passed into law, the British authorities seem to believe they have a moral and legal obligation to feed and water the world’s waifs and strays, however undesirable.

And they will go to any lengths to carry out their ‘duty’.

It has also been revealed that the Foreign Office is supporting an attempt to remove seven foreign terror suspects, currently living in Britain, from a UN watch list.

All of them are said to have links with al-Qaeda and the Taliban. They include people who have been convicted of involvement in bombings in Casablanca, accused of blowing up two U.S. embassies and found guilty by a military tribunal of plotting terrorist attacks.

Currently, the men are forbidden to leave the country. Why the hell were they ever allowed to enter Britain in the first place? They should have been kicked out years ago.

Even when we try to deport terror suspects, our hands are tied by ‘yuman rites’. In another ludicrous development yesterday, the High Court ruled that two suspected terrorists, one Libyan and one Iraqi, who have been subject to control orders in Britain since 2006 - because it is illegal to detain them in prison - are entitled to sue for compensation.

They were given control orders only because sending them back to Libya or Iraq would break their fundamental rights.

That’s not all. Europe’s top law officer has announced that the wives and families of men linked to al- Qaeda should receive tens of thousands of pounds in benefits from the British taxpayer.

Refusing to pay them is - you guessed - a breach of their ‘yuman rites’. No wonder Britain harbours more terrorists than any other Western country.

The insanity of our system for dealing with foreign terrorists and illegal immigrants is beyond parody.

You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave, even if you want to.

WHEN IT SOMES TO ASYLUM, THE LUNATICS HAVE REALLY TAKEN OVER.

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.
