Updates and commentary on immigration and asylum law

Guardian piece

My my, one gets more comments on The Guardian website than on Free Movement! I’ve been busy in court all day (on a non immigration case) and get back to find that there were 87 comments on the short piece I’ve done for Liberty Central at The Guardian’s website.

I haven’t yet read beyond the first few comments, but having seen those and being familiar with the tone of responses to other liberal commentators there I imagine many will be negative.

At some point later today I’ll be logging on there and starting to do a few responses…

    Off topic i Know but did the judge in the Marlon King trial, http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8332029.stm ,
    recommend deportation? They seem particularly keen on any offence lately and he’s a Jamaican national…..one rule???

    last year, i said there was Chinese police involved in deportation of Chinese asylum seekers,FM deleted my comment.
    27,oct,2009,there were more than 100 people been deported to China, again, there WERE Chinese police involved. Don’t you think it’s one step too far to hand these innocent people to CHINESE POLICE.

      I think I probably deleted it because you did not explain what you meant, referred to no evidence and the comment seemed rather pointless, as does this one.

        sorry, FM, what i trying to say is, as in your word:”What UKBA fails to appreciate is that there are many, many more victims whose rights are violated but who never manage to secure the protection of the rule of law.”

    Well being a Guardian Comment is Free addict, and as I was only in court this afternoon, I managed to get in some rants by way of rebuttal this morning before I left.

    Well done on the piece though. The Graun website has sadly been infiltrated with right-wingers and BNPers for some time, so you will not get a very favourable reception from the majority.

    Kind regards
