I'm a little puzzled with this new flagship legislation from the PM, part of his brave pledge to stop illegal boat people. "It would place a duty on the home secretary to remove anyone arriving on a small boat and ban them from returning permanently." So, people wanting to come to the UK illegally, and therefore already permanently banned ... ... should be permanently banned again, if they come here, to prevent them from coming here illegally. Yeah that should work, if it doesn't we can always ban them again. That'll teach them.
It’s like when they catch a 13 year old joy rider, he gets 6 months community service and banned from driving for 3 years
TBH I thought the Home Secretary already had a duty to remove people coming into the UK illegally. If not that's obviously where we've been going wrong
Will these bans be "oven ready" though, that's all I am interested in to be honest. If it isn't oven ready then I don't want to know
People who've travelled thousands of miles, evaded police and border guards and paid traffickers huge sums are bound to be put off by the threat of a BAN. They'll be sitting round the Calais campfires tonight saying, "Ha’way lads we've got to within thirty miles of Dover but there's no way I'm risking a ban ... ... let's start making our way back to Syria eh?"
You know that's not how it works. As soon as foot touches soil they're here for life. Stopping them getting on the boats in the first place is the only way to stop it. It won't take many paying a people trafficker five grand only to end up in Rwanda before word gets around.
It seems Bonko junior (shameless liar bribe accepteer, womaniser and general thicko) has nominated Bonko Senior ( known for being hansie and a thicko) for a knighthood ! Pip pip as private Eye might say.
Stanley Johnson's dad was born Osman Kemal, and later changed his name to Wilfred Johnson. Stanley's grandad was Ali Kemal. "Boris" real name is Alexander Boris De Pfeiffel Johnson (Alex to his very few friends). The lineage of Boris Johnson's family is as murky as Bonko's "politics"
Seems like 'murky' reasoning to me. Plenty of reasons to slag him off, but chose to use his Turkish heritage.
It's not even particularly murky. Even Wikipedia explains it in some detail. Ali Kemal's children with his half Swiss, half English wife, Winifred Brun, when they were living in England, adopted as their surname the maiden name of their English Grandmother, Margaret Johnson. The de Pfeffel bit comes from Stanley Johnson's Great Grandmother on his mother's side, who was German. Seems straightforward enough to me.
