The Calais problem (merged)

He wasn't an illegal immigrant though.
He was/is an Egyptian, who entered and stayed illegally, for some reason being granted to stay; easy touch come to mind? Marrying a British citizen then cemented his place.
If you think this bloke was bona fide and deserved asylum, the mind boggles. Technically, you're right, by now he wouldn't be classed as illegal, by all intents and purposes, he was.

He came to Britain on a perfectly valid student visa.
 
I'd love to know how your formulated those figures.

The £93 billion "subsidy" comes from this article, written by the Guardian's "chief economics writer" Adita Chakrobarty.

The figure includes the fact that airlines don't pay excise duty for the fuel planes use (obviously, if they did it would simply be reflected in ticket prices).

It also includes £15 billion of Government procurement from companies like Capita and Serco. i.e. what you and I might call "paying for services we want to buy".

FYI, Chakrobarty is a past winner of an Economic Illiteracy award from the Adam Smith Institute. Also, he has no academic qualifications in economics.

Ha. Knew it.
 
You are denying that they are either launching their passports or destroying them? You seem like a hookie admirer? And you're quoting a person who has the qualifications of a factory Cat when it comes to financial affairs.

Where have i said anything like that?
Not a hookie admirer at all.
If there is anything in there that is wrong i am sure you will be happy to point it out.
 
He came to do a civil engineering course and within a year was married. He got his citizenship in 86 after he had done his 5 years residence.
Proves the point about a soft touch, does it not? I said you were technically correct, the point is he never should have been granted residency.

You want to allow people access to this country without them showing what their true identity is, don't you find that a little off to say the least? You may well be an admirer of civil rights but hookie should have been exported from these shores a long time ago.

Abu Hama did show his true identity, there was no doubt who he was. He was imprisoned 10 years ago and deported and now has a life in prisonment without parole.
Justice has been served.
 
Just listened to one of the would be British citizens rampaging around Calais that it cost him 8000 Euros to get there. Forgive me for being sceptical, but how many on here can lay their hands on around £6000 quid? If he's come from dire poverty from a destitute country, that sort of money should allow him to live very well for quite some time, if he's escaping war and persecution my cock's a kipper.
