Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

rochdale paedophile ring face deportation
are we seeing a much-needed toughening on the rules regarding citizenship withdrawal?

the following needs (re)checking, but if i heard correctly on the wireless a couple of hours ago, the 6 ringleaders, all british nationals but of pakistan origin, are to be stripped of their citizenship and deported

the appeal court rejected their claim to be able to stay in uk

The wireless? Have you changed the valves in it recently C? That case has been going for a while with the judge telling their lawyers off for deliberately delaying the case. The judge was deciding an appeal against the Home Office taking back the passports they were awarded by naturalisation. They lost. But they can appeal again, so on it goes. Why they are not simply deported back to Pakistan while their appeals are considered is too much for our soft legal system. Let them appeal on their time and coin.

Make you proud to be a con artist in a Banana Paradise.

Rochdale
Rochdale sex grooming gang citizenship appeal fails

Despite the ruling, the legal battle to deport the men could drag on for some time as there are further steps the Home Office must complete


above is within the last couple of hours

These cost's to the British Taxpayer are staggering , in a murder case two women found guilty of murder had cost £ 400,000 thousand pounds . They were guilty the minute they were arrested terrible case really .

that is penalty for having an open judiciary - ie innocent until proved guilty

move away from that, and you quickly descend to kangaroo or show trials with pre-set verdicts

Even if they lose their appeal, they just go scurrying to the european court
of human rights claiming their deportation deprives them of a family life..

Don't expect these individuals to be deported in a month of Sundays...

yes you are off filter again, at least for now :-)

you may be right, but at least it shows a willingness by the british judiciary to take a much tougher line than in the past

Does "off filter" mean you can dodge answering any challenge when you want to?

9-)

Just wondering?

??? ..... on filter meant i could avoid his nonsense

re - filter

for "cynic" on and off, is his passing time, just like the wireless, I should know by now

I must be racist as I laughed when I saw it on TV :-)

The Guardian

It was intended as a lighthearted joke, but a promotional video for the Six Nations coverage has left the BBC red-faced and accused of racism.

The 30-second advert for this weekend's Wales v England rugby game asked "What's Good About England" and showed Welsh fans struggling to come up with an answer.

But BBC Wales' attempt at 'banter' backfired spectacularly when furious viewers described it as "racist" and "pathetic" in a series of complaints.

The trailer was made to promote the broadcaster's coverage of the Six Nations game in Cardiff on Saturday when Wales play the current Grand Slam holders.

It can still be seen on Daily Mail and Mirror websites.

re - child refugees

What is the way to stop all those "Bl..dy Mary "women ( others call them "beaches" most likely Labour supporters ) trying again and again speaking up from those refugees, that on my opinion are not.
Most of those 90% are women, they have a more caring attitude than men ( good ), but they sure are overdoing the job in this case.

1- UK just voted against more immigrants coming to the UK
2- Those youngsters, most are not, are the same age that now are planting bombs in Europe, another one today
3- I have seeing some of those refugees saying that in the UK can finished their studies ........ what?
4 -- One way is stopping giving money to community sponsors of refugees.


High Court challenge to UK's child refugee efforts

Campaigners will challenge the government's handling of the arrival of unaccompanied child refugees from Europe, at a High Court hearing later.
They say ministers have not worked with local councils to find enough places for vulnerable children.

Separately, the daughter of the man called "Britain's Schindler" has criticised the ending of the "Dubs amendment" child refugee scheme.
Ministers argue the arrangement is "a pull" for children and traffickers.

Is Trump abusing Melania?

Hmmm?

Q 1. Will Melania stay with Trump for the next 4 years?
Q 2. Will the Trump presidency last the full 4 years?

Why would we take any migrants from France. It is irrelevant whether they are refugees or economic migrants. They are not in a war zone. They are in a country no less safe than the UK. Their wish to come here is not sufficient. The more we take in from France, the more will gravitate to Calais and other ports. This is never explained properly. The attraction of the UK is its economy and the fact that many of the migrants speak English. Neither of these factors is sufficient.

Here here Hays , i have been saying that for the past 2 years ,they are in a safe haven .

It's a tricky one Hays, though much of what you say is true
on the other hand ....
would you offer sanctuary to any legit political refugees?
would you offer sanctuary to children from syria itself or other war-torn regions?

one could carry that on for a bit, but that will do

Hays is talking about migrants that are in France and safe cynic.

yes i know, but there is still the wider question remaining
