Surely, if a failed asylum seeker is detained and has a family, that the only right and proper solution is to keep the family together!?
The implications of today's ruling that we will have to set up separate hostels for these children. These will need high numbers of staff, to do the job of each of the mothers (who will then be sat doing nothing in the detention centre down the road). The children won't be free to come and go from the hostel because their safety could be put at risk. In effect, it will just be another detention centre, minus mum! Well done you naive numpty do gooders!
Neither having these children in detention, nor in a hostel is good good situation, but a separate hostel will cause distress by seperating the families. Children may be open to abuse and the business of deporting the family will become more protracted and costly, if not unworkable. This will encourage more people to seek asylum here.
The judiciary in this country is to damned soft on certain groups! I'm seriously wondering if these people are of this world because they just seem bent on doing the wrong thing! This undermines the sensibilities of normal people. It betrays people's sense of right and wrong.
A politician stealing tax payer's money gets a paltry 9 months in an open prison, whilst a reckless idiot student gets 18 months for throwing a fire extinguiser off a roof. I am not condoning idiot behaviour - the student got a fair sentence - he could have easily killed someone!
What irks me is the leniency for certain groups:
Thieving politicians should be made an example of and get a punishment commensurate with stealing such large sums. I'm sure there are many theives behind bars who have been locked up for longer, but for much lower value thefts. These people might well have had circumstances that would driven them to be so badly behaved (again, i'm not condoning them). Conversely, a politician on his great salary and unbeleivable pension has no such motivation! In light of this and due to his high public standing, much longer terms are appropriate!
As for asylum seekers, they should get very basic food and shelter and be deported within a week of their case being ruled unsuccessful. All this fannying about and what to do with their childern is a "nice to have" that we really shouldn't be troubling ourselves with, which we certainly can't and shouldn't afford!
I don't even want to talk about the way our authorities pussy foot around certain religious minorities, pandering to their every whinge. The fear that we might offend them etc. I should imagine they are laughing their cocks off at us! That's another whole subject on it's own!
What about the people of THIS country? For a change, what about a bit of bloody fair play and consistency from our authorities? We are all in this together right? So how about a more level playing field?
If the powers to be carry on with their seemingly barmy ways, these people will eventually cause instability and social unrest.
The developing world knows how damned soft we are and needy people will go to extreme lengths to get here so they can cash in on the unbelievable handouts and our soft receptive approach. There is a whole network of crooks trafficing people here and these desperate people frequently spend their entire life's savings to get here.
We just seem to go on encouraging more of this. It's time other EU countries did their bit, or we were compensated for this nonsense.
