Nationality and Borders bill

[johnofgwent]

An army of very wealthy human rights lawyers.

One of whom, Im ashamed to say, I was quite friendly with for the first sixteen years of my life.

Not imaginary at all. Legal experts.

The purpose of this bill is to assert the primacy of parliamentary law making over law by legal precedent.
It doesn't change the rules, it effectively resets all legal precedents. Asserts the primacy of UK courts and gives guidance to it's interpretation.

So it's addressing all the stuff that the UNHCR allows, but has not been used.

Closing the abused loopholes like the "right to family life" being abused. Or the precedent to offer asylum to someone who is currently in a safe country.

The primacy of "legal experts" is exactly what this bill addresses.
I think the country broadly agrees that current operation of the UNHCR rules has been a piss take for a long time.
Endless Daily Mail stories of bureaucracy gone mad. An army of very wealthy human rights lawyers.
Multiple and seemingly endless appeals to every asylum decision and so on.

No I didn't need to know,I was joking Duel you put as in pistols at dawn as opposed to dual as in .......oh never mind.

Sorry...I get the joke now. I never noticed my own typo.

The problem with having degrees of what's a good reason to remove nationality status is that it plays into the hands of lawyers and various human rights organisations

The problem with not having such is the start of a very slippery slope.
