17,000 homes built on flood planes

Great Britain is running out of space to build any more homes but because of government incompetence we have to find ever more homes for the hundreds of thousands of immigrants that come into this country every year.

Councils are finding it difficult to find suitable places to build homes which is why they are having to build 17,000 homes on flood plains every year increasing the risk that there will be more devastating floods that the country has to deal with.

Dealing with immigration is also the reason why eco towns are being pushed through. Any sane person would tell you that the more you build the greater the environmental damage and more people equal more environmental damage. Areas where eco towns are finding this out and Labour could suffer a backlash from even more people turning against them. People don’t want the countryside to be spoiled so that houses can be built. They want to be able to go for a walk in the countryside or just admire the views. You can’t do any of that when it is concreted over.

Asylum 4 hide in Blair motor

A Government race adviser closely linked to Cherie Blair has been arrested over allegations that illegal immigrants were smuggled into Britain to work for her restaurant chain.

Nighat Awan, 52, was detained 'on suspicion of conspiracy to facilitate illegal immigration'.

How do we know Tony Blair isn’t involved in this? He probably isn’t but the fact that 4 asylum seekers sneaked into Britain on the back of a lorry carrying Tony Blair’s new official car does make me suspicious.

Illegal immigrants on the run

Last month I blogged that police told two illegal immigrants to make their own way to the immigration detention centre. Unsurprisingly they never made it even though they were given a map.

A few days ago I blogged about telling a group of Iraqi asylum seekers Northants police to make their own way to the immigration detention centre. Unsurprisingly they never made it to the immigration detention centre either. The bright sparks at Northants police probably think they got lost somewhere because they did the same thing a few days later. This time a group of 5 African immigrants were driven to the train station and told to make their own way to the detention centre. They never made it.

Did these African immigrants have money? If not why were they driven to the train station when they couldn’t afford a ticket? Did the police give them money?

EU: Everyone is welcome

We are already getting more and more overpopulated because of immigration from EU countries and now the EU wants to open the door for immigrants from non EU countries. We already have far too many here as it is and Europe represent less than 10% of the world population. Just think what it will be like when many more come here. What will happen to our education and health systems? What about our housing crisis? This cannot go on.

They say it is to stop illegal migration. All they will be doing is turning the illegal immigrants into legal immigrants – it’s just another amnesty which (by the example of Spain) does not work. Is it any wonder that so many people in how much power the EU should have?

Government caught lying about amnesty plans

Last month there were calls for an amnesty of illegal immigrants by a think tank. The Home Office insisted there were no plans for an amnesty but it seems we were being misled.

There might not be an amnesty planned for illegal immigrants but there is for hundreds of thousands of failed asylum seekers.

Councils have been warned they must take over responsibility for the migrants, who will immediately be entitled to benefits and a place at the front of the housing queue. This will of course make our housing crisis worse making hard working families have to wait even longer for a house so that they can bring up their families.

Is it any wonder that people are leaving this country as fast as they can get a plane ticket?

Government offering amnesty

Hundreds of thousands of failed asylum seekers may be allowed to settle permanently in Britain under a "back-door amnesty" scheme.

The Government is striving to clear a backlog of 450,000 "legacy" cases of immigrants who were turned down for refugee status but were never expelled.

A 1,000-strong Home Office team has been set up to work through the list, giving priority to individuals and families who may now qualify for UK residency rights because such a long time has passed since their initial rejection.

Without publicity, the first 6,000 families on the list were sent questionnaires last month asking about their current circumstances. Insiders close to the scheme said those who gave the "right" answers would be granted "leave to remain".

Asylum seekers who cannot be traced are expected to be simply struck off the "legacy" list, giving the impression that officials have made progress in tackling the backlog. They would no longer be sought actively for removal, even though they would remain illegal immigrants - liable for deportation if ever caught.

Our government have to learn that the British people do not want an amnesty. All illegal and failed asylum seekers must be sent back. It is irrelevant how long this takes but it has to be done. They shouldn’t be able to just break the law and get away with it. They should be forcibly deported if they are unwilling to go.

Single force to protect UK borders already useless?

Britain's first unified border force is to be set up by the Government, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said today.

Officers from the Border and Immigration Agency, Revenue and Customs and UKVisas will be brought together, creating a single checkpoint for travellers at ports and airports.

It doesn’t really matter what he does. The border police were effectively neutralised in February when the immigration detention centres became full to capacity which meant that they had to stop picking up illegal immigrants.

Maybe Mr Brown’s real concern should be building more immigration detention centres so his changes would actually matter? I guess that’s not going to happen anytime soon though.

Calls for amnesty (3)

Once again there are calls for an amnesty for illegal immigrants. This story just won’t go away. This time it is a think tank with close links to the Labour party. In March it was in the news and it was called the ‘Strangers into Citizens scheme’. In June 2006 it was the Home Office who raised the prospect of an amnesty.

If they are allowed to break the law and get away with it why can’t I break the law and face no prospect of being sent to prison? These illegal immigrants are breaking the law and should be found and deported immediately. If I can’t break the law why should they be allowed to?
