    Except some tulipholes would take the cash and the prisoner, then let him out so he'd be back here and free within weeks.

    Strip citizenship off anyone in jail, and that way it could be 10/10 of the prison population is foreign.

    Is it even news?
    It would be almost worth finding a failed asylum seeker and splitting the pot 50:50 with them. What would the implications be on my tax position??

    They are surely not of the same quality

    Channel 4 was comparing immigration quality per country in their show dispatches. They came up with a report.
    Can't find it anymore
    That's a shame cause it was raising a lot of interesting points.

    I was talking about Alf Ws taxi driver - thought you were too. I have no quarrel with your op or anyone who says HMG (esp civil service) are crap. Apologies for the confusion - for the record I think that cabbie's tale was (at least partial) nonesense.

    I see Danny Cipriani is somewhat chubbier than the average international forward. Fat bastard; that explains why he keeps having his kicks chased down. Get off your arse and do some training you lazy slob! You can walk along tensing your abs to try and look fit, but you can't hide the love handles, you fattie.
