Ireland says Rwanda policy drives migrants over its border

People like me? Wow, I have an ilk! 😂

Actually my point is that you can't have a national solution to a global problem. Ireland's solution will be no more effective than our own. Rishi just looks like Canute trying to turn the tide.

That was certainly not the case for Juan Charles De Menezes was it

An Argentinian, in Britain on a TOURIST visa, working illegally in London as an electrician.

Whether he was one or not i do not know. I will for the time being give his corpse the benefit of the doubt, and let us say he was, at the time, of sufficient skill and training to match my brother’s qualification as one gained through an apprenticeship at British Steel, Llanwern.

The point here is that he was working in the UK illegally

And the day after that useless piece of shit who rose to run the Met off the back of her order to shoot him gave that order, her boss IAN Blair stood up and denounced him as a terrorist who was both an illegal immigrant AND working in Lindon’s Black Economy Illegally

He had to reverse all of that in a rather embarrassing fashion after it was revealed by several newspapers, but i must have read it in The Guardian, because i didn’t pay to read it, that he had, a month or so before his execution, heard from neighbours who also pursued work in the black and grey economy that he should, because he had got wind of having been rumbled as an illegal, find a way to enter the Irish Republic, and register his (re)entry to the UK from there, because the agreements then in place allowed anyone to enter the UK from Eire and use an arrangement in place from the days when we used Irish Navvies as unskilled manual labour to gain tbe tight to legally work in the UK for six months

Those were the words i read, almost verbatim, and off the back of them the Met had to admit that he was neither a terrorist NOR at tbe time of his killing was he illegally in the UK

I can’t imagine them saying that if their lawyers told them that only applied to Irish Citizens can you

Not least because at the time we were in the EEC which allowed such movement, although admittedly not to the degree the infamous Lisbon treaty would permit a few years later

While checking dates on that i tripped over a page revealing the lawyers trying to get a murder rap on the trigger happy buggers who shot him worked for Blair’s bitch Cherie

What a fucking surprise that was. Not

If he was on a tourist visa he was in the UK legally but he was working illegally.  I think many of us fail to remember how difficult it was at the time so close to 7/7 and if he had turned out to be a bona fida threat then many of us would be cheering the same people who shot him. The blame lies in our migration policies since Rushdie when the writing was on the wall, certainly in the first instance and that was confirmed by 9/11.
