Our source reports a horribly sad story about a Nepalese man in Glasgow trying to gain asylum in England. Precisely the right kind of man to have in the country but the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal ruled against him based on a highly debatable finding that "the risk of persecution in Nepal was not sufficiently serious," in the words of the authors of the piece below.
Compared to whom the U.K. authorities do let in -- all manner of riff raff in the Colonel's view -- this prissy and exacting reading of their asylum rules seems straight out of Kafka: "Let's really put the screws to this admirable guy, but open the sluice gates for rejectionist hordes of malcontents."
"The man who set himself on fire to stay in this country." By Michael Howie and Shan Ross, Scotsman.com, 3/17/07.
A blog about Islamic intolerance and fanaticism; socialism; communism; government stupidity; and lying weasels everywhere, hopefully couched in vibrant and literate English and foreign words that make us look good.
