Barmy uK immigration laws

[Gromit]

Surely dithering Dave needs to step in and help this man?

// Prof Tulloch, 70, who traces his ancestry here back to the 14th century, was born to British parents in a British colony. He has a British wife, children and brother. He was raised and educated in Britain from the age of three, has substantial assets and property here and has lived or worked in the UK for most of his life, holding a series of posts at British universities. He even held a British passport.
But now, his passport has been confiscated and he faces expulsion from Britain in the latest bizarre twist in this country’s “Kafkaesque” immigration laws. //

Baz, you wont get it past the hand wringers on here. Too much cotton wool in their ears and the rose tinted specs are far too strong.

They are right and you are wrong, whatever proof you put in front of them. The chattering classes have always been like this.

// Judge James Devittie said their joint ownership of a pet named Maya reinforced the quality of their family life and suggested that separating them could cause the man emotional trauma. Following an appeal by the Home Office, a second judge ruled that the main reason that the Bolivian could stay was because of a technical error by officials. //

Gromit, That doesn't mean the story has been debunked, as you originally suggested.

We are a nation of animal lovers. I think it would have been nice if a chaps affection for his cat had actually saved him from being deported.

The mind boggles, here we have Hamza the mad cleric and his mates that for some reason we can't get rid of, and yet they find an excuse to deport a Professor who has proof of his ancestry, his work in the Universities and assets in the UK, and yet deny entry to him. Something is very wrong with the system.
