Why is there any delay in deporting this person ?
He has admitted that he lied and that his only intention was to earn money to send back to his family. He did not need asylum. The fact that he lied to his friends, the UK Border Agency, MP Jonathan Edwards and just about everyone else just reinforces the Border Agencies decision as being the correct one.
The only assistance this guy needs is to get him on a plane back home.

To say that I am disappointed that the Bahrain F1 GP has been cancelled would be a bit of an understatement.
It’s OK for all you football fans, the season never really ends any more. There is football available on the TV 365 days a year. OK so some of it isn’t British football but it is there for you to watch.
For F1 fans there is nothing from the end of one season to the next.
And now, just when the F1 juices have started to flow with the Bahrain race due to run on the 13th March, we are faced with a further two-week delay before the season truly starts.
And before the dissenting voices start beating me up and telling me that human life takes precedence over sport.
I do truly, totally agree. I wish the Bahrain people well and hope that there is no more bloodshed or injuries.
But as a F1 fan it is my right to feel disappointed.
So the government has done an about-face on the sale of our nations forests.
Should we applaud them for having the strength to reverse their decision in the face of public out cry. Or should we perhaps be questioning the sanity of a government that actually thought that it had the right to sell off the nations property. The forests don’t belong to the government, they belong to the nation. The government is just the custodian and the Forestry Commission their management team.
This government is in slash and burn mode as they try to fix the economic problems that the labour government bequeathed to us all. I think we need to watch them closely so that they don’t jettison any other national treasures while the red mist is obscuring their common sense.
I must be the least enthusiastic car buyer on the planet. I ordered the car back in October of last year after an “exhaustive” search, trekking around the various dealerships.
I haven’t test driven any cars but I did sit in quite a few. After all my criteria for determining if a car is going to be suitable are very simple. Most cars offered by the major manufacturer’s seem to have similar specs. They have to meet the same international standards for safety etc. and since I was looking at a family car then the handling and so forth was going to be fairly similar across all makes. I know there will be differences but I wasn’t looking at buying a sports car and won’t be driving any car to its extremes. Finally I was also limited by what I could afford so there was one last criteria that had to be fulfilled.
Would I fit in it ?
Being a tad on the large size, that is over six-foot tall and weighing in at around twenty stone I don’t like to feel crowded. Nor do I like to be touching the sides of the car during normal driving conditions.
In the end my choices seem to be limited to either a Skoda Octavia or the Renault Megane. The final selection was governed by the actual spec of the car and so I plumped for the Megane.
Friends and family have been asking me if I am getting excited and I have steadfastly maintained that I am not. It’s just a car. OK its a brand new car.
So I suppose, now the day is upon me I am, I admit, getting mildly curious.
Tom Bletsoe, just 18, is the new Independent councillor for St Ives South ward in Cambridgeshire.
I would like to wish him both Good Luck and Congratulations.
It is really good to see a youngster taking an active interest in politics and local community affairs. Too often all we hear about youngsters is how they spend all their time getting drunk and causing a nuisance.
I can already hear the naysayers and their negative comments asking “What does he know ?” “He’s only 18, What experience has he got ?”
Well I say he can hardly do any worse than some of our current batch of councillors & MPs.
So lets give him a chance to prove himself.

My thoughts are with you now that you have ousted Mubarak. My hope is that you achieve a peaceful transition and that the army support you in your efforts

It would seem that justice has been done. These dishonorable “fat cat” members had their snouts in the trough for too long and got fat at our expense . No sympathy for either of them from me. As far as I can see they got their “just desserts”.
I strongly agree with “Derek of Dorchester” who commented on the Mail-Online article and made the following observation…..
“There is now sufficient (and ever-mounting) prima facie evidence of massive financial wrong-doing in the Palace of Westminster for HMRC to launch in-depth tax investigations of all who have served as “Hon. Members” in recent years. HMRC have more power than the Courts to investigate, and can declare people guilty upon a lower standard of proof, before demanding payment of tax, with interest, and imposing penalties of several times the amounts wrongfully withheld. What are they waiting for?”

I can’t even get a non-emergency appointment to see a doctor when I’m stood in my doctors surgery. I’m told to call up on the day I would like to be seen !!!
If this is the sort of service I get now just how much better do you think it will be if I have to ring NHS Direct ?
Well I’ll tell you….. It will be 10,000 % worse.
This will be as good as all those other centralised call centre operations that we already have to deal with.
It stinks.

Once again we prepare to kowtow to the faceless bureaucrats, of the EU & The European Court of Human Rights, who dictate to us how we should behave. Slowly but surely our national identity and our nations right to self-determination is being eroded.
The criminals that inhabit our prisons carried out crimes on British soil so it should be British courts and the British Government that decide their punishment.
Equally, it should be up to us the British people, through our duly elected representatives that decide if these criminals can have the vote.
My view is that they jettisoned their rights when they broke the law. By breaking the law they effectively stuck a finger up at normal decent law-abiding folk. So they don’t have the right to vote.
Given all the other problems that this country has, I do not believe that we should be wasting time and funds debating this.
Its time for Ken Clarke to stand up and tell the EU to butt out
Prisoners will get the vote, Kenneth Clarke says – Telegraph.
