the lunatics HAVE taken over the asylum...

sales of cats in certain areas have rocketed..


Quote:
A JUDGE who ruled a migrant could stay in Britain because he has a cat said the moggie "need no longer fear Bolivian mice".

The South American was ordered to leave by the UK Border Agency after remaining here for four years - longer than a visa allowed.

But Home Office officials were left stunned when the man argued at an Asylum and Immigration tribunal that parting him from the pet would breach his human rights.

He said ownership of the cat with his girlfriend was evidence that he was fully settled in Britain and in a committed relationship.

Iraq sends Iraqi asylum seekers back to UK - entry refused


A number of Iraqi's who were deported from the United Kingdom and sent back to Iraq have been refused entry when they arrived at Baghdad.

The group of 40 or so asylum seekers and now been brought back to the UK and are waiting to be deported again at the Brook House detention centre near Gatwick airport, London.

A Refugee and Migrant Justice spokeswoman said: "One would have expected with such a high profile remove, the Home Office would have sorted this out with the Iraqi authorities."

"For such a high profile groups to be returned is unprecedented."

For a less hysterical version;

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho ... 05460.html

An immigrant facing deportation from Britain cited ownership of a pet cat with his girlfriend as part of his legal battle to stay in the country, it was revealed today.

The man, a Bolivian who came to the UK as a student, gave cat ownership as one of "many details" to prove the long-term nature of his relationship, his solicitor Barry O'Leary said.

But the solicitor insisted that his client had "never" argued that he should be allowed to stay on the grounds of the cat. Nor had he been allowed to stay because of this, he said.

The Home Office had appealed to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal against a judgment allowing the man to stay in the country.

Mr O'Leary said: "We were never arguing on the basis that the cat was material. We argued that there is a Home Office policy they should have applied in this case because of the long term nature of the couple's relationship.

"The immigration judge found that was the reason the appeal should be allowed."

I thought that when the solicitor stated;

His logic was OK on this one.

When you have a World War you get loads of the kind of people who beat up, rob, stab & kill taxi drivers & others & they are in the front line on all sides in the conflict. They blow each other to bits & then when the population has been 'pruned' the Generals say, 'arley barley'.

If you get my drift.

Sadly it's true what Brum's dad said, it brings back a sense of unification and respect after it's all finished, it also reduces numbers so you find those that remain can compete for the communial pot in a more beneficial way, personally I think the Chinese have it right and their lesson should be moved out to other parts of the over populated world, limit birth and you don't require war, in another 50 years China will be able to rid itself of the poverty and gain all sorts of other benefits due to a population reducing by at least 50% by then due to natural causes, it's the man model of the future, regulate birth, remove all sorts of resource problems.
