Can anyone suggest how this letter highlights Britain’s inability to resolve its immigration problem [emphasis in original]? “Sir, The lack of public consultation for the drafting of the Illegal Migration Bill means that there has been very little scrutiny of whether measures in it are workable, lawful and provide due process for asylum-seekers (“Stopping the Boats”, leading article, Mar 8). If it passes into law, independent judges will probably be asked to consider whether it is compatible with domestic and international law. Lawyers will represent clients on both sides of any legal challenge — they are part of the machinery that holds government to account and ensure that it stays within the law. The government has said it does not intend the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, which is welcome news. Britain is part of the international community, which is underpinned by agreements, whether about trade or rights. Trust in Britain rests on trust in it as a nation that keeps its word.

Yes, it is a bit of a give-away isn't it? I'm not aware of any other European country in which recent entrants of 'migrant stock' and their immediate descendants feel as empowered to involve themselves in matters relating to immigration, or to express themselves as forcefully in lecturing the indigenous population on how such matters are to be decided and implemented.
Perhaps we ought to be asking ourselves how this state of affairs has come about, and whether or not it should be allowed to continue.

I think the real point here is ‘who’ ? ‘The Law Society’ is there to regulate lawyers. Like the General Medical Council its purpose is to ensure the snake oil salesman out to grab your life savings fir dubious services rendered has the blessing of some university don to which they doffed their ridiculous hat in some semi secret ceremony and is not some johnny come lately just off the boat with a dubious bit of paper bought in a Chennai back street. What right has this shithead to say anything to us the voters wbo voted to re-empower our MP’s to MAKE law The fact this twat has a name suggesting his mother or grandmother worked in a brothel in the back end of the black hole of Calcutta (or Karachi) isn’t the point. I don’t give a fuck if the guy is as English as Kent Hops and Herefordshire Cider and it wouldn’t matter if he was Harry Fucking Chumley-Smythe it’s NOT his job to tell us what laws the commons pass, and its the Job of JUDGES not fucking Briefs and Barristers to DEFINE case law by their decisions on it and THEY are BEYOND the grasp of the Law Society. |
