			<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>Thanks to Wikileaks, the power of the internet and the <a href="http://tinyurl.com/2v5xmg6" target="_blank">Guardian</a>, we now have some kind of truth about the war in Afghanistan.</p>
<p>A truth that, if we had ever given it more than a moment&#8217;s thought in our busy lives, we probably could have guessed for ourselves.  A truth that says more about the state of British democracy than what goes on behind the stories and lies we are fed about a shabby and ill-conceived military campaign.</p>
<p>The expectation of openness or honesty from our elected politicians &#8211; and the secret army of faceless, civil servants and Whitehall mandarins who manipulate them -  clearly still has a long way to go before it becomes a reality, if it ever will.     A considerable amount of wool has been pulled over our eyes by introducing a Freedom of Information Act that is simply window dressing and &#8211; despite a policy of Open Government &#8211; very little has changed in real terms.</p>
<p>We, or rather the politicians, are just going through the motions.  Paying lip service to the notion of a democratic government which is accountable to the people it is supposed to serve.  Theirs remains a world of lies and deceit, of smoke and mirrors, of spin and outright propaganda: not aimed at a terrorist &#8216;enemy&#8217;, but at the ordinary citizens of Britain and America.</p>
<p>The lack of truth is &#8216;in the interests of national security&#8217;, we are told.   However, national security is unlikely to be compromised by information which is months or even years old, and which is already history.    Nor is anyone suggesting that the armed forces&#8217; detailed strategy against our Taliban foes should be given to the newspapers in advance. There is, in any case, enough reportage and hypothesis on Allied tactics in the broadsheets every week. Any Afghan warlord who cares to stump up two quid at his local newsagent can read it for himself.</p>
<p>The politicans miss the point, as usual.  Why do they think we need to know?</p>
<p>It is because our sons and daughters are being killed and our money is being spent by the billion to fight this questionable cause.   We are entitled to more honesty and transparency from our politicians about the reasons for war and the mistakes they have made in waging it &#8211; without having to wait to get it from whistleblowers.</p>
<p>Whether it&#8217;s good or bad news, we must have the truth.  Only then can we make proper choices about who to elect and who to sack; about what we are prepared to let them to do in the name of our country and what we are not; about whether we want them to build more schools and hospitals for our society, or go to war.</p>
<p>Just give us the truth and let us &#8211; the people &#8211; decide, through the ballot box, by referendum, gathering a petition or by whatever other means we have at our disposal in order to make our voice heard.</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8230;but of course, that&#8217;s what they are afraid of.</strong></em></p>

<p>Well, he won&#8217;t mind if we ban ALL Pakistan nationals from entering the UK until further notice, then.</p>
<p>After all, why should the British taxpayer pay for costly screening and monitoring of his countrymen?  The amount we may earn in university and college course fees is no doubt MORE than offset by the COST to Britain of administration, surveillance and monitoring of his would-be terrorist fanatics.</p>
<p><strong>We have no obligation to allow them entry and we can do without the hassle they cause us.</strong></p>
<p>Apart from Pakistani students on fake or trumped-up visas, who have no intention of studying anything other than how to bomb and kill our citizens, we don&#8217;t need more visitors, tourists or &#8216;businessmen&#8217; from Pakistan, period.  A large number don&#8217;t return after their studies or their &#8216;visit&#8217;  in any case &#8211; which breaks the terms of their visa and which goes largely unreported and unenforced, too.</p>
<p>And these are only the ones we KNOW about.<br />
Who knows <em>(the Home Office / Borders Agency certainly doesn&#8217;t)</em> how many enter the UK illegally in the back of trucks or as visiting &#8216;relatives&#8217; of those who are already here?</p>
<p>The only way in future we should be prepared to allow Pakistanis entry is if their government vouches for them and takes responsibility for their actions, both financially and morally.</p>
<p><em>So the ball is back in </em><em>your court, Mr Commissioner.<br />
If you&#8217;re not prepared to vouch 100% for your own citizens, then we&#8217;re not prepared to allow them in to kill ours.<br />
</em></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><a title="'Write to your MP' website" href="http://www.writetothem.com/" target="_blank">Write to your MP now</a> and object to any further students entering this country from Pakistan.</strong></span></p>
