I didn't say he was mentioned but I'm telling you he was raising the issue of grooming gangs before the authority's raised the alarm bells. What I like is for things to be done in the correct way so that they can be effectively dealt with and not made worse. If you think the enquiries only resulted from one person's campaign, I don't. There was more than enough local action to do it. What I dislike are people using events like these to stir up emotions, inflame passions and cause possible retributions all in the cause of a wider political agenda.

Correct we stop them from entering Turkey as Turkey would not stop them from carrying on into Europe!

You need to learn to read and not make assumptions. All I said was that I noticed a particular place being busy on a what I remembered being a Saturday and people then assumed ignorance. It may well be that it really was a Saturday and it was for some kind of kids party, or other event. It could be that my memory was faulty and it was a Friday. What it doesn't mean is that I am unaware that the Islamic holy day is a Friday. It is very instructive how people have jumped onto a very minor remark and tried to blow it up into some kind of international crisis. Reminds me of Trump like diversion tactics designed to shift the focus away from arguments they know they have lost.

Life is never simple. I won't lie and say that I'm glad we welcomed these people here. For me, this kind of policy is an accident waiting to happen. Why should we pay to keep these people in prison when many of us didn't want them here in the first place. We were right. So just why did we welcome "these" people here? Assuming you primarily mean people originally from pakistan and Bangladesh and not refugees from the middle east. I am not so sure it was a deliberate policy but more a legacy of the right to British citizenship previously granted to all Commonwealth country citizens, which has been eroded over time. I confess I am no expert on this and would have to research the details. The fact though remains that we are where we are and we need to handle things as they are, and not as they might have been. Returning first generation immigrants who commit crime seems sensible to me, although there is always the likelihood of appeals based on the possibility of the country they would go to being unsafe. Second generation immigrants who only hold a British passport present a much bigger challenge. Whether you like it, or not, "these" people are now our people and we need to find ways to re-orientate them to become useful and peace loving citizens. As I see this already happening with large numbers of "these" people I am far from without hope. We need to be ruthless with any criminal activity and very encouraging to all those who embrace our culture. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (29 Apr 2019 7.04pm)

Edited by Wisbech Eagle (29 Apr 2019 7.04pm) How pathetic are you trying to imply something by repeating 'these' in quotes. I have no problem pointing the finger at one group of people when they have been almost entirely responsible for an unprecedented multiple instance crime in this country. But you just keep on implying racism like a good apologist does.

I have been involved both in employing people on work permits and twice on family visas. The work permit route is fraught with deception and fake certificates, which I discovered to my cost when a new employee, seemingly well qualified, had no idea at all about her specialist area. My first family experience was in 2002 and the second in 2016. The difference between them was indeed staggering, but not for the reasons you describe. It was 10 times tougher in 2016. Many more requirements and proofs needed and very much more expensive. That is surprising as when I worked overseas 1999-2002 we interviewed every applicant for any type of visa, this was stopped in 2002. Presumably no face to face interview though?

Edited by Stirlingsays (29 Apr 2019 7.34pm) Farage is not a tory and clearly can not be their leader, really S. He has stood for parliament 7 times and never been elected. 'Fromage not Farage'
