Oh dear : the Home Office is at it again....

"Up to 80,000 bogus asylum seekers have been granted an 'amnesty' to live in Britain, it has emerged night.

They have been in the UK for so long the Government has decided not to even bother considering their claims.

It is the last shocking indictment of Home Office incompetence.

Officials had lost track of up to 30,000 of the claimants, or did not even know they were here in the first place."

"Equally alarming is the Government's woeful underestimate of who may be eligible. It follows revelations of up to 450,000 asylum claims sitting in boxes, waiting to be dealt with."

Thank allah that the daily mail is keeping on eye on these bloody fuzzy-wuzzies..

They don't like it up 'em you know!

It may not be worth trying to track them down but blanket amnesties are insane. Does that not mean that if any turn out to be major criminals we can't get rid of them?

Possibly... they have been given the right to stay here indefinitely, get jobs, have kids, invite their relatives over, and then apply for the whole lot to become british citizens. Even though the Home Office has no idea who they are, where they are, what they are here for, or whether that is an arse, or an elbow.

I think one of the comments on that article sums it up quite succintly -

"The United Kingdom is now running without a Government."

look lads, have a think about it

you really must try to see the bigger picture

this is all for your benefit yet you don't see it

think house prices

people are needed to stimulate the house prices

and the only way to get more people is to open the doors
to the country

the more who come, the more demand on houses, the higher
the house prices go, the more your houses are worth, the
more equity you can unlock from your home, the more you can
spend on the high street, the newer cars you can buy

you lot are sorteeeed, money for old rope

Well, the TV licensing will track you down no matter how much it costs. Same for council tax. If you dont pay your mobile phone bill on time, and you move house, they will find you.

So, why not employ TV licensing, DVLA or bloody debt collectors or similar to find them...? The Home Office and IND employs thousands of people who seem to do nothing. A lot of them seem to be immigrants themselves - the asylum seekers taking over the asylum.

It seems that even the ones who take the £3,000 to return home are allowed back in, stay for a few years, then get another £3,000 to go away, then repeat....

And I am not contracting - I am a temporary permie gaining all my nice new finance / investment banking experience and .Net 2 certs. Maybe next April....

increasing the population artificially to stimulate house prices, I would say on balance most people would agree with this given the option of falling house prices, negative equity and considering that very few people have adequate pension provision

what do you think ?

this really is the bigger picture, like it or not, I do not know anybody non-contracting who has any chance of making adequate pension provision, their only chance is the value of their home and down sizing in the future - this must count for a lot of the population

I dread to think what the situation will be like for my generation in 25 years time in the UK

Compare and contrast....

The BBCs 'Have your say'...

http://newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thre...215&#paginator


And the BBCs subsequent coverage about 'how people feel'

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/h...go0/html/1.stm


I think the IND should visit the BBC offices - I would imagine they would find quite a few illegals that need those 'indefinite leave to do whatever you want and import a family, as long as they vote labour' documents.


I doubt my 'comment' will be posted by the BBC....

Why is it that you bother to have a 'Have Your Say' section?

Compare and contrast:

newsforums.bbc.co.uk/nol/thread.jspa?sortBy=2&threadID=3653&edition=1&ttl=2 0060909163215&#paginator

the 'Have Your Say Forums' with many comments..

With the official 'BBC' take on what people think...

Out of synch, out of touch. Still financed by the people you mislead.
