If a foreigner like me can detect bias, I wonder why most of the indigenous population can't....


In Terms of Asylum and Immigration, The UK Governent is perfectly willing to allow non UK citizens to UK, but is taking a hard line in those who arrive illegaly, regardless of why they have come here. The UK, after all, is a small Island, and a large proportion of illegal imigrants will make it harder for people who want to come to UK using the proper legal channels. Thats why tough measures are taken and why some immigration rules seem harsh

It is all talk....
They rather take the soft option and deport the ones they know where to find... like this....
