THE headline in the Daily Telegraph reads: ‘Court gives Gazans right to settle in UK.’ It would have been more appropriate to have said ‘Court writes final UK suicide note.’
The family of six from Gaza who were granted entry used the Ukraine Family Scheme as a vehicle to obtain the right to come to the UK. Their application was initially refused by a lower-tier immigration tribunal because of the obvious issue of it being outside the Ukraine programme’s rules, and also that Parliament decides which countries benefit from any resettlement schemes.
But, of course, the decision was appealed against. An upper tribunal judge overturned the lower court’s decision using the ubiquitous ‘Article 8 right to a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)’ argument.
The judge in question, Hugo Norton-Taylor, demonstrates again the two-tier character of our judiciary. In this case, it is elevating the court above Parliament and indeed the law itself, by putting a concept of ‘human rights’ above the actual rules. He noted that the family were facing a humanitarian crisis as a consequence of the Israeli government’s indiscriminate attempts to eliminate Hamas – a leftist anti-Israel canard espoused by a judge in a court ruling. This is not democracy; it is Leftist Woke demagoguery.
The judge is the son of Richard Norton-Taylor, a former Guardian journalist renowned for his anti-Israel beliefs who last year endorsed a petition calling for Haringey council in north London to ‘stop supporting genocide in Palestine’.
This decision could well accelerate the numbers entering our country with alien cultures that actively seek to alienate ourselves from our own country, by changing the basis of our society, laws, morality and culture.
The Gazan family come from a population that voted in a proscribed terrorist organisation on the ticket of global genocide of Jews and eradication of a democratic country. An overwhelming majority of that population still support Hamas and its actions and goals. Large numbers took part in the October 7 pogrom and subsequent detainment and abuse of hostages. Those actions included the murder and kidnapping of British citizens. These are people we should not be allowing into our country – we have enough problems with the Islamists and Hamas supporters already in our midst.
There are two million Gazans. How many will hope to use this ruling as a precedent to gain entry to the UK? How many will be Hamas operatives? How many will have taken part in October 7? How many of them were involved in the imprisonment and abusing of Israeli hostages?
Sir Keir Starmer, under public scrutiny at PMQs, has said Judge Norton-Taylor made ‘the wrong decision’ and added: ‘It should be Parliament that makes the rules on immigration, it should be the government that makes the policy, that is the principle, and the Home Secretary is already looking at the legal loophole which we need to close in this particular case’.
Starmer refused to answer Kemi Badenoch’s question of whether he will bring forward new legislation or amend his Borders Bill to stop any would-be immigrants from any country in conflict around the world coming into the UK. The Prime Minister obfuscated and deflected, and asserted that Labour were taking control of the immigration issue.
However, Lord Hermer, the Attorney General, has recently stated that this government will abide by all international law and conventions, and will never leave the ECHR: so exactly how Starmer intends to control immigration, when leaving judges the gaping loophole of the ECHR, and its all-encompassing Article 8 get-out-of-jail-free card, for all aspiring immigrants is beyond comprehension. Lots of hot air, waffle and hopes that this will all go away and be forgotten in the ever-churning news cycle.
Our country is out of control, in the hands of madmen and women who have no wisp of common sense, being steered by a dysfunctional moral compass, and with an apparent hatred of Britain and its indigenous working-class citizenry.
We might as well put up a sign on the cliffs of Dover saying ‘Roll up, roll up, Hamas supporters welcome. Come and drive the last Jews out of Britain.’ Our suicide note to the world. Remember: First the Saturday people (the Jews), then the Sunday people (the Christians).
