After a long search, I finally found your site. My granny used to say, that you must never give up to reach a certain aim.
So keep on going like I did it recently.

The Supreme Court will replace the House of Lords not the Court of Appeal contrary to what Anne says. I am surprised and upset by some of the comments made about barring immigration appeals. At the moment, a staggering proportion of appeals are successful. Let me explain exactly what this means. Assylum is granted when an applicant will be persecuted in their home country. Removing the right to appeal will inevitably mean sending people to be tortured and murdered in their undemocratic hime country. Why do people think that is OK? We should be proud of our democratic tradition and welcome the contribution of immigrants. We shouldn’t be undermining the rule of law (which says that courts guarantee rights) because of bigotry, xenophobia and, in David Blunkett’s case, a cynical attempt to woo the masses.

It will be a sham if so much attention was diverted to the increased speed at which asylum seekers were returned to their own country. The real effects of swapping a first class Court of Appeal for a second rate Supreme Court are crucial as the knock on effects are unknown! I get the impression that the proposed reforms have been rush though by this government with very little consultation and is subsequently ill thought out.

The sooner those asylum seekers who have had their applications rejected are sent home the better - the money wasted on giving these people legal aid and benefits can be better used elsewhere.

If it speeds up asylum applications, but more importantly speeds up the repatriation of failed asylum seekers then I’m all for it.

Woolf has found out the hard way that Blair and his cronies don’t really care about the UK and are keen to see the EU running the show…no need for justice or enquiries then! What a shame we didnt have Woolf rather than Hutton looking at the dodgy dossier and related items, perhaps the benefit of the doubt would have been withdraw and a real enquiry would have taken place. Woolf highlights again the fact that New Labour will rip the heart out of our nation in order to replace a tried and tested system with some half baked half witted pro EU system that reduces our freedom and costs twice as much as the system it replaced. All in the name of progress, towards what end we ask??? Wake up the lunatics have taken over the nation!
