You think its a good immigration policy to let convicted criminals doss under bridges before murdering? Agree to disagreercs1000 said:
As a matter of interest, how are you going to check for criminal convictions for people coming into the UK? There is no international registry of convictions. When you do your Visa Waiver for the US, you declare whether you have a conviction, but the US government does not (and cannot) check if what you say is true or not.isam said:

I reckon it's really pretty simple - we have vagrancy laws under which a person can be arrested and charged, so you're caught sleeping under a bridge, you're not a British citizen, you're put on the first flight back to wherever you came from and denied entry to the country ever again.isam said:

What is your system where he is kept out?
If he turns up and says I'm a tourist coming for a week to the UK (which, by the way, is how the vast majority of illegal Mexican immigration to the US happens), how will we know whether he has a conviction or not?
I guess you could have a policy where every potential visitor has to get a visa, and they have to go to their local police station and get a signed document saying the person has had no criminal record. Are you really suggesting that?
Now, if someone commits a crime in the UK, we should hopefully in future be able to kick them out, and to prevent re-entry. Which is great. But I simply don't see how we can prevent people - in any realistic manner - from getting into the UK if they have a criminal record from another country and are willing to lie about it.0 -

(3) The risk of you having a similar name to someone who might have committed crime somewhere is quite high. Inconveniencing millions of innocent people is not a great idea for your economy.

But the cost to the economy of requiring every potential visitor to jump through hoops before they can come for a 90 minute meeting about an IPO would be enormous. Or for the Schmidts or the Changs to come visit Buckingham Palace for the weekend.
There's a reason no other countries require such hoops to be jumped through. It's not that politicians are globalising scum who hate the proletariat and wish them murdered by indigent foreigners. It's that there is an economic cost to such extreme vetting.0 -
The point for many of those voting Leave was not taking back control but stopping Johnny and Jemima foreigners coming in at all . Those people do not care if that f***ks up our agriculture , hotel and care home industries and many of them not even if the NHS ends up with problems .kyf_100 said:
I agree, which is why I think a much simpler solution would be to make the marginal cost to a foreign employee or an employer recruiting a foreigner higher would be a more effective way - you could do this easily by denying them in work benefits, by insisting on a flat £100 per month NHS tax and so on. The tax could be raised or lowered depending on supply and demand for jobs and exempted entirely for certain professions - eg nurses and so on.MarkSenior said:

"Take back control" resonated for so many reasons. "Stronger in" meant nothing.
What was Carswell's 24k idea? The minimum you should earn before being granted the right of free movement? Sounds very sensible to me. Though simply being able to deny people without a British passport the right to benefits, the right to the NHS, etc, would have much the same effect. Combine that with policing the vagrancy laws and insisting on the deportation of all foreign criminals charged with it and "free movement" by and large works.
The point is taking back control. The right to decide who comes in and how many people come in, whether that's a million migrant workers or ten.0 -

Can I thank you for at least saying 'many of those' voting leave leave, rather than just 'those who voted leave'.MarkSenior said:
The point for many of those voting Leave was not taking back control but stopping Johnny and Jemima foreigners coming in at all . Those people do not care if that f***ks up our agriculture , hotel and care home industries and many of them not even if the NHS ends up with problems .kyf_100 said:
I agree, which is why I think a much simpler solution would be to make the marginal cost to a foreign employee or an employer recruiting a foreigner higher would be a more effective way - you could do this easily by denying them in work benefits, by insisting on a flat £100 per month NHS tax and so on. The tax could be raised or lowered depending on supply and demand for jobs and exempted entirely for certain professions - eg nurses and so on.MarkSenior said:

"Take back control" resonated for so many reasons. "Stronger in" meant nothing.
What was Carswell's 24k idea? The minimum you should earn before being granted the right of free movement? Sounds very sensible to me. Though simply being able to deny people without a British passport the right to benefits, the right to the NHS, etc, would have much the same effect. Combine that with policing the vagrancy laws and insisting on the deportation of all foreign criminals charged with it and "free movement" by and large works.
The point is taking back control. The right to decide who comes in and how many people come in, whether that's a million migrant workers or ten.0 -

The Tories have not managed 40% since 1992 - and I doubt that they will do so in 2020 despite what current polls are saying. Nevertheless Labour is doomed that year if Corbyn remains - or is replaced by one of the far left nonentities.I do believe,however, that the outlook could be very different under an effective new leader. Moreover, even under Corbyn Labour was often polling 33%/34% in late 2015 and the early months of 2016. I would expect Starmer or Cooper to do better than that , and am quite clear that 35% in 2020 is perfectly achievable.ydoethur said:4) The electoral system is heavily against them - as I pointed out earlier, the Tories if the boundaries go through have a huge number of very safe seats and it is hard to see a scenario where they are not the largest party by an enormous margin. Even if they don't go through the loss of Scotland makes winning an election problematic for Labour - had it not been for Scotland, Labour would have lost in 1964 and there is a serious school of thought (one I will admit I find unconvincing) that suggests they would have lost the following election too under those circumstances as they would not have controlled the timing. To win in a England and Wales alone they need to win 50 seats in straight fights (assuming no Tory gains in Scotland or Wales). That's a big ask.
Labour are probably too strong to be killed off, although my view keeps changing on that (after every crisis, I think, 'Surely this is rock bottom now' and then they get the jackhammers out and start digging). They should win around 160 seats in any given election. But it's hard to see them being strong enough to win an election in less than twelve years from here.0 -

Carol Bowditch, 64, was filmed having sex with a St Bernard, a black Labrador and an Alsatian.
Her activities were exposed as a result of an RAF Police investigation which centred on a man identified as organising a bizarre sex party at which owners watched their dogs having sex with women and then went on to have sex themselves with the women.

@rcs100 is right that there may be no practical way to stop people with criminal convictions visiting the UK.
But there is a difference between a tourist and a permanent resident. Most countries have controls on who can become a permanent resident and it is possible to impose conditions - such as not having a criminal conviction, however defined - which mean that you can be deported if it is found that you have lied on your application form.
Similarly, why should someone have the right to go and live rough in another country?
If people had felt that those visitors who break the rules were actually deported, they would (perhaps) have been more willing to accept free movement for those who did not take the piss.

Sam, sweetie, you relentlessly highlight the crimes of minority groups suggesting that it is inherent in that group's makeup.

It hurts to be called a racist, it isn't true, I have never said people of a certain race are this or that, I don't think one race is superior or inferior, I have only ever said the friction caused by mass immigration is dangerous. Countless times I have said the problems caused by mass immigration here would be replayed if poor, white Christians went en masse to a non white, non Christian country.
On top of that, I am arguing here on behalf of an Indian immigrant murdered by a white European. Madness, some people are so stupid0 -

Freedom of movement is also not absolute in the EU.
"Migrant workers’ right to reside for more than three months remains subject to certain conditions, which vary depending on the citizen’s status: for EU citizens who are not workers or self-employed, the right of residence depends on their having sufficient resources not to become a burden on the host Member State’s social assistance system, and having sickness insurance. EU citizens acquire the right of permanent residence in the host Member State after a period of five years of uninterrupted legal residence."

There doesn't have to be an internally coherent and consistent list, with agreed categories.

I agree about the false positives, especially this week when it appears that one Dr Dao was smeared with the past of another Dr Dao of similar age and name. And when we deal with tens of thousands on people entering per day, you're going to have to find a way to cope with the hundreds that will be caught by this (see also facial recognition for the same problem). But these are bureaucratic problems, fully solvable with money and a bureaucracy. It's pretty much doable.0 -
The Common Arrest Warrant does not really help @Topping's argument. FoM trumps that. We learnt that a long time ago when the Italian born murderer of the Maida Vale headmaster could not be deported back to Italy despite being guilty of the worst crime imaginable because his right to live in the UK trumped everything else.
A FoM which permitted countries to deport and keep out EU citizens guilty of serious crimes would have been sensible.
Unfortunately, the EU does not do sensible.
A government's most basic duty is to try and keep citizens safe. Effectively preventing them from even trying to do that by forcing them to keep within their borders someone who has committed a crime is wrong, unfair and looks as if those coming up with such a policy value the principle rather more than the interests of citizens. Worse, it looks as if they value the rights of foreign criminals over the rights of law-abiding citizens.
It's all very well talking about the economic costs of doing something. But can't you see how this looks and how unfair and arse-over-tip it seems?0 -
