Boris says UK not racist

You can't possible be calling Boris Johnson a racist for something Enoch Powell said in 1968.
I don't like Boris or the Tory party and think he is a bumbling bafoon but to link him to Enoch Powell's speech shows you are grasping at straws to slag off the Tory party .
You said to Wilsjane in one of your other rants regarding Ugandan Asians coming over in the 60s. Never mind how thing where back then. Yet here you bring up a speech from the 60s ???? Use the hear and now for Politicians don't associate them with speeches from over 50 years ago.

 

So what's your excuse for this policy then ???



Asylum plans branded ‘cruel and unfair’

Plans to toughen up the UK’s asylum system have been condemned by the United Nations, campaign groups and opposition MPs.

Boris Johnson said the plans set out in the Queen’s Speech would “help crack down on the criminal gangs” behind “illegal entry into the UK”.

The forthcoming “new plan for immigration” legislation amounts to the most significant overhaul of the system in decades and means people who have travelled through a “safe country” such as France or Belgium to reach Britain will not be admitted into the UK system.

For the first time the way people entered the UK – either through legal or irregular means – will have an impact on how their claim progresses.

The UN’s refugee agency has demanded a rethink of the plans.

The UNHCR acknowledged the UK’s right to control its borders, and the need for improvements in the system. But this “must remain consistent with the right to seek and enjoy asylum”.

The agency warned that expecting refugees to seek asylum in the first safe country would overwhelm gateway countries and see the UK “turn its back” on commitments made at UN General Assembly, and through the Global Compact on Refugees.

“We’re ready to work with the UK on alternative reforms,” a spokesman said.
Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, condemned the “cruel and unfair approach”.

“Providing protection for people uprooted by war and conflict and in need of safety, regardless of how they manage to reach our shores, is a hugely important part of who we are as a nation,” Mr Solomon said.

“We have a long tradition of providing protection for people who have gone on to become proud British citizens, contributing as doctors, nurses and entrepreneurs to our communities.

“Through its new immigration bill, this government is seeking to undermine this vital commitment by unjustly differentiating between refugees based on how they arrived here.”

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey said the “cruel asylum plans” would stop people fleeing persecution from seeking sanctuary in the UK.

Green MP Caroline Lucas said: “Targeting desperate people who are putting their lives at risk in the hope of finding sanctuary shows how low this Government is prepared to stoop.”

The Government said the current asylum system was costing taxpayers more than £1 billion a year and in 2019 around 62% of asylum claimants to the UK had entered the country illegally.

The promised legislation is aimed at deterring illegal entry and “breaking the business model of criminal trafficking networks”.

The new laws would make it easier to remove people with no right to be in the UK.

Officials said the plan would increase the “fairness and efficacy” of the system to “better protect and support those in genuine need of asylum”.

 

And this isn't racist ???


Immigrants to be stripped of right to challenge deportation using judicial review
Government accused of ‘grave injustice because the Home Office regularly gets decisions wrong’

Immigrants and refugees will be stripped of the right to challenge deportation orders in the High Court, under a new crackdown to speed up “removals”.

A Judicial Review Bill will overturn a Supreme Court ruling – nearly a decade ago – which allows tribunal decisions to be put forward before the court.

Around 700 such appeals are pursued every year, with fierce disputes over how many are won outright while many other cases reach a settlement.

The government admits it does not know the success rate, the Queen’s Speech stating: “We are investigating how many of these cases result in a successful outcome for the claimant.”

It has briefed Tory-friendly papers that the crackdown is to stamp out “hopeless claims that have already been adjudicated by tribunal judges which frustrate removals at the last minute”.
But the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants (JCWI) attacked “a grave injustice, not least because the Home Office regularly gets decisions wrong”.

“People seeking protection in the UK deserve to have their voices heard, and their claims calmy and fairly assessed,” said Minnie Rahman, the organisation’s campaigns director:

“These plans will deny refugees rights and status and leave many more people in limbo as government’s asylum return deals with third countries appear completely mythical.”

Nazek Ramadan, director of Migrant Voice, said: “The government’s plans mean that a significant number of those who would have won their claim in the High Court could be deported.

“The government is taking legal rights away from people who need protection - with individuals deported to countries where they are at risk of harm or persecution. What does this say about us as a country?”

And the Free Movement website pointed out the government had admitted that abolishing the so-called Cart Judgement “may cause some injustice”.

“The Cart safeguard is an important supervisory check on the immigration tribunal and the Ministry of Justice should not be in the business of causing avoidable injustice,” said CJ McKinney, its deputy editor.

The Judicial Review Bill will also “protect the judiciary from being drawn into political questions and preserve the integrity of judicial review for its intended purpose,” the Queen’s Speech document says.

But critics see the legislation as an attack on the power of people to mount legal challenges, in revenge for embarrassing court defeats during the Brexit saga.

Theresa May was humbled over invoking the Article 50 exit notice without MPs’ approval and Boris Johnson humiliated when judges ruled his shutdown of parliament was unlawful.

A claim that just 0.22 per cent of immigration judicial reviews are successful – made in a review for the government – has been discredited, lawyers say.

In fact, up to one in 11 result in victories, it is now thought, after more complete data was used.

Downing Street defended the shake-up, insisting it is necessary to “increase the efficiency of the court and tribunal system and clarify the status of the upper tribunal”.

“We want fair access to the legal system for all, but it is right we take action to clarify any issues that need reviewing and make sure we are running an efficient system,” the prime minister’s spokesman said.

 

No.it is not racist. It may be the measures are a bit strong and go to far in stopping people's rights to appeal. That does not make it racist. This country has been to soft with border controls for to long.We have one of the most diverse multicultural societies in the world.
The UK is not racist as a country. That does not mean we don't have any racists living hear.
You have quoted an Enoch Powell speech from 50 years ago and also a response from nearly 100 years ago. These can't be used to say the present country is racist.
If you are saying the UK is a racist country that makes you racist which I doubt you are.
What you should say is there are racists that live in the UK.

 

All, or indeed a vast majority of the scumbag 'nasty party' are racist !!!

 

That may be your opinion but it is narrow minded and juvenile.
I do not like the Tory Party. But a lot of ethnic minority people support or are members of the Tory Party so are all them racist.
You are childish in you constant scumbag nasty party remarks. Grow up and refer to them properly.

 

T'wasn't me who renamed them, but Theresa May herself, and since the name is very apt, it will remain the 'nasty party' !!!

 

Humans are racist by nature, ALL RACES are RACIST. BLM is a racist organization. That being said, not every incident is a racist hate crime. I seen a bad cop kill a bad man. I must have missed the beginning of the video where he showed clear premeditated intent to kill based on skin color. Everybody seen that part but me I guess. Where is this evidence this was a RACIST HATE CRIME worthy of BLM riots causing 19 more deaths? Oh no, don't tell me that was just an ASSUMPTION! BLM talks about black lives but will not address the cause of 95% of black homicides. That is clear RACIST HYPOCRISY. Everybody is racist but it is only PC SJW Media fashion to hate on white people, the racist white devils, all the other races are just their innocent victims...

 

Given the disproportionate numbers of ethnic minority deaths that could very well be true !!!

 

So is it racist that our daughter had to wait a year for promotion in the met police because she could not speak an Asian language.?

I have somewhat mixed views on that one, since I agree with the police wanting to work with the law abiding Asian community and weed out the extremists who pose a threat to our country.

Is it also right that the police are sensitive in dealing with the black on black stabbings and murders, when the truth is that the only reason for the postcode conflicts is drug dealers protecting their areas. The vast majority or the ringleaders are Jamaican, rather than from African countries.

Racism is a very complex subject and quite literally their are no 'black and white' answers.

 

To Paraphrase Frederick Forsyth = " Peoples are not (evil) Racist. - Individuals are (evil) Racist."

 

Well, we can't force them to stop killing each other. Them hating white authority and all...

 

All because your side of the 'pond' the 'white authority' tend to be Nazis in or out of uniform, all they lack are a pair of jackboots and a swastika armband.

 

Regardless of which side of the pond one resides in, (and indeed the land and sea beyond) there are those who have traits of predjudice - some more than other in degree within them, it is true, although I have found, it is moreover, how they deliver their concern/s
Nobody can really know how a.n.other feels about personal issues - be it the shoes they walk in, clothes that they wear, emotions they experience or skin than adorns them, what is true is that it is the message of/and manner of communication that ensures educational awareness and an understanding of belief
It is Engagement with/in Education,- and not anarchy which I feel is key.

 

Yeah, 95% of black homicides are from black on black violence, because of Nazis...
...
...
...
... Fhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukin Genius!!!!

 

God you are so narrow minded. If its not on your agenda or fit in with your extreme left wing philosophy you are a Nazi or racist. Not all Americans are racists but yes some are.Not all authority in America are Nazi and probably very few if any are but yes a lot will be central or right wing so to you that would make them a Nazi. For an old man you are very bigoted.

 

Try telling all that to the relatives of George Floyd or any other ethnic minority member who has been a victim of Police murder or brutality !!!

 

I'm sure even George Floyd's relatives would say NOT all Americans or American authorities are racist. Believe it or not. Not all police in America are racist (yes some are ).
There is a lot of multicultural people in authority in America are they all Nazi's or racist.
Going by your logic ( or lack of ) Barack Obama is a Nazi and a racist.

 

..... and the collective (evil) individuals form the scumbag 'nasty party' !!! Q.E.D.



.... And further evidence to substantiate my charge of racism against the scumbag 'nasty party' !!!


Home Office’s rush to deport asylum seekers before Brexit was ‘inhumane’, watchdog finds
‘Unprecedented levels of self-harm and suicidal thoughts’ were recorded at the Brook House Immigration Removal Centre in late 2020

commentsThe Home Office’s rush to deport asylum seekers last year ahead of Brexit amounted to “inhumane treatment,” a watchdog has found.

In its annual report for 2020, the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) for the Brook House Immigration Removal Centre (IRC) raised concerns around the impact of the government ramping up efforts to remove people arriving on small boats from the UK in the later months of 2020.

While the monitoring board found men detained in Brook House were “generally treated humanely,” it said that the “concentrated nature” of removal flights ahead of Brexit — and in the midst of a pandemic — “amounted to inhumane treatment of the whole detained population”.

One of the impacts of this treatment was “unprecedented levels of self-harm and suicidal thoughts and attempts,” the board added.

“While we consider that men detained in Brook House are generally treated humanely, the impact of the Home Office’s unusually compressed charter flight programme on an especially vulnerable population led to unprecedented levels of self-harm and suicidal thoughts and attempts in the last five months of 2020,” said Brook House IMB’s chair, Mary Molyneux, said in a statement.
“Our concerns were such that we wrote to the Home Office minister about them in October,” she added, noting that compressed flight programme ceased in December.

Speaking to The Independent, Ms Molyneux said the Home Office was “perfectly entitled to remove people on charters”. But she added: “The issue here was the way it was done. So compressed, so compact when it was very clear the systems for dealing with it were [under stress.]”

The Independent revealed in December the Home Office had spent millions of pounds of taxpayers’ money on deportations in its “rush” to remove asylum seekers before the end of the Brexit transition period.

Data obtained through the Freedom of Information Act showed at least £2.3m was spent on forcibly removing at least 225 people to European countries in July, August and September in 2020 - double the amount that was spent on deportation flights in the previous quarter, when 285 people were removed.

In the ramped-up effort, some charter flights only carried a few people onboard, inflating the cost.

The report also found “some systems did not adapt quickly enough to the needs of [a] vulnerable population” and detainees “were not adequately informed of what would happen to them on removal” to the EU.

“The whole system and the people, everything, really, at Brook House was under strain because of the really concentrated and compact nature of the charter flight programme,” Ms Molyneux added.

“There were two flights a week scheduled. They didn’t always happen, but you had the same build-up of anxieties and problems”.

The IMB also found a lack of sufficient access to healthcare services to help cope with “increased levels of fear and anxiety”.

It noted “serious delays” in the assessment of torture claims and said men were sharing accommodations with others who had self-harmed or attempted suicide with little support.

The independent board did find that “staff-detainee relationships” were “generally positive” at the removal centre during 2020, despite the challenges presented by the coronavirus pandemic.

However, it questioned whether many of the men held at the removal centre should have been there in the first place.

According to the IMB, at least 72 per cent of the men detained at Brook House for removal between August and December were later released, even in the midst of the UK’s ramped up removal efforts.

“This raises questions about why many were detained in the first place and why they were unnecessarily exposed to these detrimental conditions in particular, and the harmful effects of detention in general,” board members said.

Ms Molyneux told The Independent the IMB had found the same trend the year before and repeatedly flagged concerns over the unnecessary detention of migrants and asylum seekers.

The came come following calls for immigration detainees to be released due to concerns around the spread of coronavirus in closed facilities.
