			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetTop Automatic --><p>Who&#8217;da thought it?   The Nasty Party have let their pants fall down to reveal&#8230; <em>nothing!</em></p>
<p><strong>No immigration policy, no controls, no borders &#8211; and not a clue.</strong></p>
<p>Home Secretary Teresa &#8216;Kitten Heels&#8217; May hasn&#8217;t even been to see if the UK Border Force is fit for purpose at our ports and airports. Clearly, it isn&#8217;t up to doing the job.  But why?  It&#8217;s not the fault of the hard-working staff themselves.</p>
<p><strong>IT&#8217;S SIMPLY BECAUSE WE DON&#8217;T HAVE <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ENOUGH</span> OF THEM.</strong></p>
<p><strong>It doesn&#8217;t take a genius to work out the solution.</strong><br />
First, take the number of incoming travellers arriving per day (a), then work out how many passengers a Passport Control Officer can process each d<a href="http://thebritishcitizen.com/2011/11/no-borders-ukba/borderforce1/" rel="attachment wp-att-1959"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1959" style="margin: 10px;" title="borderforce1" src="http://thebritishcitizen.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/borderforce1-300x183.jpg" alt="borderforce1 300x183 Borders? What borders?  Witless Tories just let everyone in." width="300" height="183" /></a>ay (b), then divide (b) into (a).<br />
Then you make sure you employ the right number of people to get the job done promptly and efficiently.  How difficult is that?!</p>
<p><strong>Compared to the financial and social disaster of allowing thousands of terrorists, thieves, fraudsters, benefit cheats and their families into the country, the cost of hiring some extra UKBA staff is <em>nothing</em>.</strong></p>
<p>We hear Cameron and the Tories bang on about Civil Service and state sector inefficiency, or blame everything on <em>&#8216;the mess Labour left us with&#8217;</em>, and yet they couldn&#8217;t organise a proverbial p**s-up in a brewery.  How long will it take before some Tory-led &#8216;committee&#8217; decides to throw billions of taxpayer money at hiring a <em>private contractor</em> to do the job?  And will the owner of that contractor be a Tory donor?<br />
Take a good guess.</p>
<p>People voted these idiots into power to play party politics with OUR money.  Are we nuts? Is any politician actually going to <strong>DO</strong> anything about this mess instead of making the typical empty promises?</p>
<p><strong>For Pete&#8217;s sake, complain to your MP and force the government&#8217;s hand.   The LibDumbs won&#8217;t do it, because they&#8217;ll let literally EVERYONE in.</strong></p>
<p>If we don&#8217;t stop this nonsense now, we&#8217;ll never be able to stop the tide of criminals, terrorists, cheats and scroungers flooding into the country we love.</p>

<p>Apart from the fact that they ran a large credit card fraud operation which spread across the world &#8211; bad enough in itself &#8211; how on EARTH did a gang of illegal Chinese immigrants get free benefit handouts and a council flat in Walworth, London?</p>
<p>There must be thousands of low-paid and other eligible BRITISH families in the Southwark area who should have been living there, rather than these scum.</p>
<p>Southwark is the parliamentary constituency of Lib Dem big cheese Simon Hughes, and the council itself is run by Labour and Lib Dem councillors, so how do they justify their local housing and benefits policy?</p>
<p><strong>Questions need to be asked and Southwark Council held accountable for this cock-up.</strong></p>
<p>This part of the <a title="Link to BBC London story" href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8001185.stm" target="_blank">story</a> will probably be buried, but it shouldn&#8217;t be.</p>
<p>How many other illegal immigrants and  criminals have council flats in London or anywhere else in Britain when they shouldn&#8217;t even be in the country, never mind getting benefits from the British taxpayer?   Now they HAVE been caught, we&#8217;ll no doubt be paying for them to stay in our overcrowded prisons, too, rather than getting their own country to bang them up at their expense.</p>
<p><strong>Do YOU want to join us in trying to stop this nonsense happening?<br />
</strong>Why not write to your local council under the Freedom of Information Act and find out how many people of overseas birth are being given housing and benefits in YOUR area?<br />
Write to your MP, too and demand action.</p>
<p><strong>Don&#8217;t let Britain carry on being a pushover for the whole world to screw us for free money and housing when we need to help our own people.</strong></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Several Civil Service departments require urgent action </strong>for them to be capable of carrying out their tasks effectively for the country, according to the report  <em><a title="Read the report" href="http://tinyurl.com/bykn3o" target="_blank">&#8216;Fit for Purpose&#8217;</a></em>, produced by <a title="The Reform website" href="http://www.reform.co.uk/fitforpurpose_217.php" target="_blank">Reform </a>- the independent think-tank. The report noted that while senior bankers have been called to account, there had been much less scrutiny of the mandarins who failed to deliver the &#8220;effective administration of Britain&#8221;. It added that while ministers are accountable to the electorate, civil servants &#8220;are an invisible and unaccountable group, all but immune to scrutiny&#8221;.<br />
Compared to other developed countries, in Britain ministers &#8220;pull the levers and nothing happens&#8221; it added. &#8220;A lack of accountability permeates every rank of the service&#8221;. The study says that both Labour and Conservative parties fail to grasp the &#8220;urgency and scale&#8221; of the problem.The worst departments, listed as having at least one or more &#8216;Urgent Development Areas&#8217;, are listed below.</p>
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Her Majesty&#8217;s Treasury (HMT)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department of Work and Pensions (DWP)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) &#8211; all areas need development, two urgently</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Crown Prosecution Service (CPS)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department for Transport (DfT)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department of Health (DH) -<em> &#8216;of serious concern&#8217;</em></span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Ministry of Defence (MoD)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Department for Constitutional Affairs (DCA) &#8211; now Ministry of Justice</span></span></li>
</ul>
<p>&#8230;in other words nearly <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> of the Civil Service.  Add this to the damning Channel 4 <em>Dispatches </em>programme last week on &#8216;How They Waste Your Billions&#8217;, and it seems that a complete overhaul of our inefficient Civil Service and its out-dated practices is long overdue.</p>
<p><strong>The British Citizen</strong> proposes that the National Audit Office is used even more to highlight and publish examples of over-expenditure and government waste, and then for a complete assessment of all operations in Whitehall to be carried out without delay.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>We need to save money, but we also need a Civil Service which works efficiently and serves our best interests as citizens.<br />
</strong></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-size: medium;">At the moment it seems to be the other way round.</span></span></span></p>
