Do We Need To Book 30,000 One Way Flights, Home Office?

The Home Office would like to facilitate the return of refugees to Syria, a minister has said, saying about 6,500 asylum claims had been suspended as the government waited to assess the fallout from the end of the Assad regime.

And what about the ones already here? Claiming asylum from a regime which is no more?

Homsi is one of nearly 30,000 displaced Syrians in the UK celebrating the fall of Assad and what Keir Starmer described as his “barbaric regime” over the weekend, when Hayat Tahrir al-Sham rebels seized power in a fast-moving offensive.

Shimale’s story is similar to Homsi’s. He came to the UK in 2016 because he would have been imprisoned if he had stayed. He said: “I’m sure I can [return to Syria] now. With Assad away, I will be able to go back.”

Ruba Sulaiman Khaled, a trainee solicitor and influencer from Stockport who has been unable to return to Syria since 2011, said she hoped there would be a “revolution, a new start for Syria” and that it was a time to “establish the country from the ground up”.

Anyone taking bets on how many will actually go back? 

Mair Godley, Useful Idiot...

Mair Godley is distressed for both the asylum seekers and residents about the situation all have found themselves in without having any choice in the matter.

Actually, Mair, they did have a choice. They could have stayed in France... 

She said: “We are all dumbfounded by the speed with which this has happened. The Home Office don’t seem to understand that this is not just about us, it’s about two communities of human beings, both as important as each other.

But only one community which has the right to be here, Mair... 

“We have asked the guards on the base if we can talk to the asylum seekers but they just say no, we have to ask the Home Office. We want to find a way to bring the two communities together. The Home Office has made this place look like a stalag.”

Rather approprite, then, Mair. Since stalags were used to house prisoners of war. And a war is undoubtedly what we're in. And every war, it seems, has to have its Quislings... 

Yes, It Is Broken, You're Right There...

One Eritrean asylum seeker who reluctantly agreed to move from the Greenwich hotel to the one in Bedfordshire, and did not join in with the protest, said he was distraught about the enforced move but felt he had no choice but to go.

“We came to the UK looking for freedom but the reality is not like that. I’ve lost my friends, my community, my college with this move. I’ve lost everything. The system is broken.”

A system that houses asylum seekers who come in illegally from safe countries, in the most expensive part of the country, and allows their claims to drag on for so long they put down roots, all at the expense of the poor bloody taxpayer, is irretrievably broken. 

When is someone going to fix it? 

What Reason Could He Have For Claiming Asylum?

A grieving family are demanding answers after a beloved grandfather died in a motorcycle crash with an asylum seeker who was working illegally as a DPD driver under a false name.

He's Moldovan. Claiming to be Romanian. Why is anyone's claim from either of these two countries tolerated?

Stratan was detained in October 2021 after he entered Scotland from Ireland using the false identity of a Romanian called Sergei Bagrin. He was detained for five months before being freed in March with an admonition by Stranraer Sherriff Court.

Thanks, Scotland! 

He then moved to Devon where he obtained the false driving licence and got a job as a delivery driver.

Stratan had already racked up four unpaid speeding tickets in two months of driving for DPD at their depot near St Austell in Cornwall. The crash with Mr Colwill occurred when he failed to stop at a Give Way sign on a country road at Ashwater, North Devon.

It's beyond bel... No. I have to stop saying that, don't I? Because it isn't.

Stratan admitted perverting the course of justice, causing death by careless driving and driving while uninsured and with a false licence. He was jailed for a year and ten months by Judge David Evans at Exeter Crown Court and banned from driving for five years after his release. The judge said the public would expect him to be deported on or before his release.

We wouldn't expect him to have been allowed into the asylum system in the first place... 

The judge noted that DPD's ability to check on Stratan's credentials had been diluted because he was working through two sub-contractors.

And the country's ability to check on chancers, grifters and wrong 'uns coming in? What's diluted that?

The Refugee Lovers Have Blood On Their Hands Again...

A man who killed a woman in a head-on car smash in Stockport, Cheshire, while he was using a mobile phone has been jailed for five years today.

Mohammed Javadpour, 53, was distracted with his device when he failed to spot a narrow blind bend at 8.30pm on November 12, 2019.

He veered into the wrong side of the road and ploughed straight into Elayne Goodwin's Vauxhall car.

As Miss Goodwin, 56, lay dying in the wreckage of her vehicle and police tended to her at the scene, Javadpour used the smart phone to make contact with a friend and arranged for the device to be taken away.

We aren't told if the 'friend' was charged with anything. Or why the police allowed this piece of shit to meet up with them, rather than being in handcuffs in the back of a police car... 

The phone has never been recovered.

What a shocker.  

Javadpour, from Woodford, Stockport, had previous convictions for driving while disqualified, having no insurance and possessing fake motoring documents with intent to deceive.

He initially blamed Miss Goodwin for the crash before blaming the fictitious driver of a third mystery car which he claimed had fled the scene.

Later, when shown a copy of an independent accident report proving he was in fact to blame, Javanpour claimed to not understand his legal advice.

Eh? How would that ever work? 

Well, Reader, maybe because he's a refugee from Iran. I see no mention here of the revocation of that status. 

Why not?
