immigration tightening up

[willieboy]

Where have these checks on non whites been happening? I travel on the tube all the time, all over london and not seen this happening. I think the media would be full of the stories if so. I doubt the police would have enough manpower to ensure they didn't have a riot on their hands in hounslow for example if they carried out these type of tatics.

I think now due to the British transport police now carrying pdas which allow them to check the address and details of a person they stop straight away that people are being picked up for various warrents etc.

Please make yourself clear on what exactly you hear is happening as my wife worries when she hears these type of rumours flying about (even though she has no reason to worry).

Hi AndyPaul.For sure i know there have been checks at these locations.hounslow,Oval,fulham broadway,ladbroke grove,fenchurch st.Probably others but i have no proof.These are immigration officers.They have laptops and can check a name very quickly to see when they entered the U.k and when they should have left.There were a few small articles in the papers at the end of last year that immigration would carry out spot checks.The reason it wasnt on the front pages is probably the lower profile they keep the more success they would have.For sure if they had the same manpower for immigration as the do for parking they would catch everyone!!But thats another subject.

There are a lot of unjust laws all over the world, not just here in the UK.

Would you rather immigration turned a blind eye to the problem of illegal immigration? It is a just law, you will find most people agree with it.

I've never over stayed in the Philippines, and never have any intention of, the laws of the country are there for a reason - its simple, just follow the rules and you'll be fine.

I've been to the philippines at least 8 times and like you I have never intended to, nor would I stay longer than I was suppose to

as for immigration turning a blind eye, nope they shouldnt, but what they should do is not discriminate based on where a person is from, allowing anyone from europe the right to live in the UK, but at the same time wanting people out side europe to require a visa, 'police checks' etc. and someone in IND playing god with your lifes. wether thats the law or not, or injust or just, its not equailty, something I thought the European Union belived in.

yes checks and visa's for everyone, I've not got a problem with that, if it applies to everyone outside the UK.

Had a read up and think about the subject and now recall a big fuss being made in the papers a while back.

Well seems that it was banned by london underground and the mayor of london on transport for london propety back in the middle of feb.

the new rules

Crucially, under the new rules only people suspected of being faredodgers, drug-dealers or other lawbreakers may be quizzed. Hopefully they keep to the ruling

So hopefully this over the top procedure has been curtailed and with the might of the tube unions plus the racial make up of the staff of lu and tfl keeping the organsations to their promises.

So for those Phills reading this theard unless you are acting suspicously/breaking the law you should not be harrassed. If you do get stoped ask for id and the reason you was stopped. They can't stop you legally just becasue of the colour of your skin, race or nationality.

I have to agree with admin on this subject, visa overstaying in the uk or phill, by either a brit or phill national should be discouraged on this site.
Please note i didn't say condemed.
It could affect many people particulary admin, if this site became known for encouraging overstaying in either country.

Willieboy just out of intrest how are you both marrying in the UK? As i thought the rules were very tight now on checking both parties have the correct papers/visas before allowing the marriage?
