It's a piece of paper FFS. A piece of paper, printed out of an IT system that may contain errors (probably does), out of a database that probably contains errors, typed in by a human who almost certainly makes mistakes, etcetera, and you want that piece of paper to be the ultimate determinant of whether someone's legally allowed to be in Britain and work?Originally posted by vetran View Postsee the link in my earlier post - it does since 1999.
Thank goodness for testers; we need someone who doesn't just blindly believe the output of systems.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Working without a visa, working in breach of visa conditions. Except in strictly legal terms the distinction seems rather academic. The student visa system is totally abused, 51% of Nigerians and 49% of Indians admitted on a 3 year student visa in 2004 were still here in 2009.if he was working on some other visa than a working visa, then he may have been working illegally
PS Correction:
Nigeria 51%
Pakistan 48%
India 44%Last edited by xoggoth; 23 May 2013, 13:01.bloggoth

So the guy was saying that British forces are killing innocent people in Afghanistan etc. Is he correct? Well unless you're there you have no way of knowing.Originally posted by xoggoth View PostTerrorist words here:

Don't agree with the murder but I agree with most of what he said.
So we have to assume he might have a point, must we not?Comment

Whether he has a point or not is irrelevant. It would not justify what they did.Originally posted by KentPhilip View PostSo the guy was saying that British forces are killing innocent people in Afghanistan etc. Is he correct? Well unless you're there you have no way of knowing.

They're probably killing more civilians than Taliban. Not on purpose of course but try telling that to the familiesOriginally posted by KentPhilip View PostSo the guy was saying that British forces are killing innocent people in Afghanistan etc. Is he correct?

interesting point - killing of innocent people in cold blood is not something we are used to here - but this is what people in the invaded countries are very used to. Spare a though to the normal Iraqis/Afghans who have extremist lunatics on one side and foreign invader bombs on the other side.Originally posted by Spacecadet View PostThey're probably killing more civilians than Taliban.

Having said that, there is no doubt that a virus exists in the world. They carry the tag of Islam/Muslim but will turn on anybody who disagrees with them (that includes Muslims of every persuasion). It is important to note that these people can't be part of "Islam" because no religion would ever preach self destruction of itself! These guys are thugs/criminals/maniacs and they belong to an evil ideology that wears the garment of Islam - though I am sure it has nothing to do with it.Last edited by NorthWestPerm2Contr; 23 May 2013, 13:44.Comment

The short answer is: There is no “we” it is the government. The government are killing innocent people in Afghanistan in order to protect the drug trade that feeds the banks. (Known fact; read about HSBC) The government should get out of Afghanistan. Furthermore, the government has been letting uncontrolled immigration, even those people who are too extreme for their own country. Simple answer; send them all back. Both problems are caused by government.Originally posted by KentPhilip View PostSo the guy was saying that British forces are killing innocent people in Afghanistan etc. Is he correct?

The thing you are missing, is interpretation of 'the words' of Mohammed. It is how these words are interpreted that causes what we see, for some see killing the infidel as the actual words of the prophet, some see a muslims mission is to convert the infidel, the non believers.Originally posted by NorthWestPerm2Contr View Postinteresting point - killing of innocent people in cold blood is not something we are used to here - but this is what people in the invaded countries are very used to.

It needs something to permit someone to enter Britain to work.Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostIt's a piece of paper FFS.

Its a process that has checks & balances.There is a peculiarity in his ILR (a bug if you like that wasn't investigated) there was a technicality that addressed his presence but not the fact he was working which would have made him technically illegal.
As a Brazilian he would need to follow standard immigration processes not claim asylum. He could be sent home fairly easily to his safe home country for working illegally.
Refusing / granting someone the right of entry to a country and specifying what they can do is the basics of an immigration policy.
If you were American and found working as an employee on a visitors Visa in Germany would you be regarded as there illegally & sent home?Comment
