Cant find a new link but heard it on the radio earlier...

to package him up and to take him straight back to Calais and drop him off there...than keep him here,what with the adjourned case and all the other costs involved down the line ( pun intended)....hes got no chance of beng deported and he probably knows it...the leftie oooman rights lawyers will no doubt be on a nice earner keeping him here....

according to the news report hes being charged under some law from the 1800's about interefering with a tunnel or something similar...had people in the car talking so couldnt hear it properly

Although I am normally well to the right of Nigel Farage on this issue, I cannot help but have a sneaking admiration for this guy's determination. The fact that they have had to resort to a 150 year-old Act in order to charge him with anything does not put the authorities in a very good light.

rules are rules. and in this case, the rules say that he must present himself to lunar house in croydon for processing. so he'll be patted on the head, handed the requisite train ticket and told to get on with it. but will he actually end up walking along wellesley road? what do you think?

"The fact that they have had to resort to a 150 year-old Act in order to charge him with anything does not put the authorities in a very good light."

true..but I still dont want him to be allowed to stay here

I am surprised theres nothing else they could have come up with, like entering the UK illegally, no docs or soemthing

"but will he actually end up walking along wellesley road?"

if he does Im sure the trams wont be much of a problem for him after the channel tunnel !...

Seemingly he was due in the Crown Court today but I can't find any info as to the outcome.

I heard on BBC Radio 2 that the case had been adjourned, but couldnt find anythng to link to...

Actually mushroom the rules are that he should have presented himself to the authorities in the first safe haven he arrived in. This was definitely not the UK and was probably not France. Under the rules his status now is that he has entered the UK without leave and, having arrived from a safe country he has no claim for asylum. Of course we do not use the benefits of those rules (which would enable us to return him to France) and he will remain here forevermore. He will spend a short time in the chokey until he is tried. If convicted I doubt the penalty will be that great and he will be released to go on his way.

I think that the wider implications are more disturbing. This guy is an asylum seeker (economic migrant) but what if he had been a suicide bomber? Think of the catastrophic destruction he could have caused. I was planning my first ever trip on Eurostar but have decided to stick with flying or the ferry.

^^They don't get suicide bombers on planes then?

[Svejk]

^They try not to.

It has been reported that this man is a Sudanese national who cannot speak English, so that rules out the general excuse that he chose to come to England because he can speak English.

So he is yet another economic illegal immigrant, who is attracted to the rich pickings he can scrounge from us and become yet another burden to the British tax payer.

He is not escaping from the Libyan war zone, so should therefore be sent packing back to the Sudan forthwith.
