    What a bloody specious arguement.

    What, all 3 million of them?

    I think you will find that 99% of them did just that...

    Look the guy was too dumb and too honest to get around the rules so he needs to go elsewhere.

    He should have just joined some UK security force to be in Iraq for lots of money - might as well coin it in if he is to go back

    Mr Amin should have got himself a partner and had a marriage/civil partnership, or impregnated a British woman or two if he was already married.


    Edited to say: With the first if the UK told him to still go away, all he and his partner would have had to do is go to another European country for a few months to live and then he would be allowed in Britain full time.

    we should have got rid Saddam when he invaded Kuwait.

    He was always a nutter, he was just our nutter.

    Why "Darkie go home"? That implies a bias/racial element the I don't see in the article. He is being asked to go home based on the assessment criteria in place which have nothing to do with his skin colour.
