This has changed in the last day or so. A couple of things happened the other day that I will post about in the future, but today, Dr Reid and his crew have really gone to town.
The latest weapon in the fight against illegal immigrants is the SMS. This isn’t some highly sophisticated tracking device, or some sensing equipment installed at all ports. No, I refer of course to the humble text message!
The lunatics in charge of the asylum think that sending a text message to someone who has overstayed their welcome in this country will send them scuttling to the nearest airport with bags packed. How the hell will this work?
Consider the situation. You have travelled half way round the world in the bottom of a tea chest, intent on finding the Nirvana that is Britain. You managed to get yourself under a lorry at Calais and now here you are. Alternatively, you may have entered the country perfectly legally, with a little stamp in your passport that says it is OK for you to stay here for a bit, as long as you get out within the next six months or so. After three or four years of no-one from the Immigration Department knocking on your door, life is sweet.
The last thing that either of these people will do is to give the Home Office a ring, just to let them know their new mobile number. “Hi, I’ve been in the country for three times longer than you said I could be, can you let me know if there is any more money waiting for me at the post office?”
Instead of wasting money and making themselves look like complete prats, Home Office staff should be looking at ways of tightening border controls and taking POSITIVE action to get rid of the money grabbing crooks who come over here on the pretext of claiming political asylum.
I could say more, but if I don’t get some sleep very soon, my head is likely to explode into a torrent of extremely nasty abuse directed towards our so-called leaders! They couldn’t lead the way out of a phonebox.
