Perhaps this guy is the nicest guy in the world, I don't know. I'm not here to judge his morals. But even this BBC article seems to draw a clear distinction between him and a Brit.
Alright, I'll side with him slightly on this, just because I hate governments and government incompetency. It's enraging if you get caught because you do things the right way, which causes the government to notice you. What a stupid system.
Look, I hate unnecessary fees, government intervention, etc., but that's not a huge amount. He says he's run multiple businesses, sent both his kids to college (on whose dime, I'm now wondering), has a house, etc., but says he can't pay ÂŁ700 a year, around twice that if he wants in on the NHS? I'm nowhere near as successful as all that (I wish I had my own fucking house, damn!), and I could swing $1,700 a year easily. I'd be pissed, don't get me wrong and, like I said, fuck the government, but still.
Alright, that can be draining, but doesn't he have savings...and weren't his costs covered by the glorious socialized UK medical system? What's him recovering from an illness have to do with anything?
"Telling me to do things the normal way is unfair punishment!"
Holy shit!
And you can't chip in for some of the money, either? What's with these people? This is all fake bullshit, isn't it?
Because he's apparently absolutely retarded?
Not my fight, and I don't care either way...but he'd be justified to lose.
Ah-hah! It all falls into place.
*eye roll*
You can say that about anyone. I've known illegal aliens, for example. They're here illegally. They're nice enough people, but if they get sent back, they get sent back. They didn't do things the right way. "If he was your friend you'd want them to bend all the rules, and accommodate for his retardation." Maybe a part of me, sure. Another part of me wants the system to work as intended.
What a clown shown. They've got nothing, and are just appealing to emotion.
Thank you for reading MSM articles so I don't have to.
I don't usually bother, but I did on this one, because it looked funny. I was right, and I'm glad I read it. What absurdity.
The nationalism of the UK confuses me. I used to be told by Englishmen that there is a difference between English and British. Only native Englishmen are English. British was anyone who had citizenship in the UK. This Ghana overstayer cannot be English by any definition, but apparently he's an illegal immigrant and not British either. Tommy is a joke. Yes the govt should not be wasting money on this guy vs. actual invaders - but that only supports the false narrative that the invasion is not intentional.
I don't like this ruling, particularly, but it's not that unusual, really.
It happens in Australia and NZ (and probably other Commonwealth countries) with a fair degree of regularity, and I believe I remember a similar case in Scotland a few years back.
Yes, it's shitty, but unlike, say, the Post Office scandal, I don't think the government is technically in the wrong, here. Morally is a different question, but technically and legally? I don't think the Government will lose this case...
Having said all that... even when you try to do things "the right way", it's still extraordinarily easy to get fucked over by the system.
I had that happen in Sweden, where migration system fuck-ups meant I never received my residency card, couldn't earn money or open a bank account, and then, when I decided to quit my study program, I was never informed how long I could remain in the country afterwards, so I was always on edge, lacking both that official "residency confirmation" and the knowledge of how many days I had left...
It's an awful situation to be in, from experience.
That sucks. I hope you got some Swedish pussy out of all that at least.
This Ghana fellow... I think he knew exactly what he was doing. I don't fault him for trying to live his best life, but he doesn't get to whine about it after the fact.
Can confirm I did, hahaha.
Honestly, that was one of the best aspects of the trip.
I (very temporarily) felt like a fucking boss, lol.
Also the Ukrainian girls, although obviously that... Comes with caution, lol.
But yeah, on your latter point, I completely agree. Even in 1977, I firmly do not believe that anyone (from Ghana, no less, and not a "skilled migrant", either) could arrive in the UK on a student visa and then "accidentally" just assume that they could remain there for life, now. I'm not naive enough to believe that as a "legitimate" mistake...
So yeah, sucks to be him, but he ran the risk of getting caught eventually, aaand then he was.
Somewhat similarly, I thought I was in trouble when leaving the Swedish border, because the customs official was confused by my lack of residency card, and the fact that i had been there for six months. But once I explained the situation (and corroborated it with the evidence I had on hand), he was totally fine with it.
Which, compared to the horrible threats I had received from the cult, when I left it, was a massive relief off my shoulders.
Which is to say that when you "play the game", the official system may or may not screw you over, but, by contrast, bad people will always try to take advantage of you, and cause you trouble when you don't play by their arbitrary rules...
Yep, totally agree re the correspondence bit.
In short, unfortunately I think the error was probably done by the bureaucrat in person. But yep, it did (probably, though I never got a clear answer) come down to the address issue you mention...
From what I heard from another Australian who had similar happen, they defaulted to sending the residency card back to Australia. For some reason, you're not allowed a second one, so she, at least, had to wait for the idiots to send it to the embassy in Australia, the embassy to realize the error, and then send it back to Sweden, to the correct address this time...
Given that I knew that when I went in, in person, I very specifically made the bureaucrat write down the correct address, and insisted that he send it there. But then he basically ignored me, said "Hurry up, other people are waiting for their turn" (which is very Swedish behaviour) and shoved me out of the office. Thus, I'm entirely unsurprised he then still managed to fuck it up.
Anyway, so I waited and waited for them to sort it, and for this fucking card to arrive (which delayed my leaving the cult I was living in), but it never did, even by the time I left Sweden, apparently, lol...
Bureaucracy, amirite?
So yeah. Ridiculous all round.
you have to go back
Tommy only attacks Muslims. It might have something to do with getting funded by neocons like Robert Shillman, just a hunch.

Meanwhile, while moving to Sweden, I did everything the "legitimate" way, paid a fuck-tonne of money, and yet couldn't even open a bank account, use the government-mandated payment system (Swish), work for pay, transfer to a different visa, or even change study program, and had to leave the country not long after I decided to leave a cult... Oh, and also got stopped and questioned by police while crossing EU land borders (returning to Sweden from Denmark), for no reason other than "because we can"...
Fucking clown world.
Any idea where she was from, out of curiosity?
Similarly, there was an Irish guy in the news where I am, whining about provision of homelessness and health services, after he was injured and could no longer work…
He was so Irish that his nickname is apparently “Irish”, and he was essentially begging people to donate money (to the charity that serves him, but still).
To which I responded: Ireland isn’t exactly a war-torn, poor country anymore, now is it? Nor would it have been at any point during this guy’s adult life. So why the fuck should Australians, and more specifically people in this city, be paying to keep this guy afloat? It’s not like these services don’t exist in Ireland, so I fail to see why he can’t just go back.
To which I’m sure the argument would be, “But waaah, I’ve lived in Australia for 10 years! This is where my life is!”
Too fucking bad, leech. It’s not up to me, or anyone else, to prop up an economic migrant who can no longer afford the rent.
Harsh, but he is literally living in a pub where I used to go to gigs, which they converted into “crisis housing” to support the numerous leeches like him (because their previous housing was “too old”, lol), so my empathy is… Limited, in this case.
If you can’t work to pay your rent, and you’re not a refugee, you shouldn’t be here, imho.
Tommy Robinson is also Imam Wasim Kempson
Fighting amongst ourselves are we??
