Now we learn that a Bangladeshi trainee accountant called Abdullah Munawar, who was refused permission to stay in Britain, has won his appeal against deportation because he has a right to a ‘private life’ under Article Eight of the European Convention.
This is because he has made friends here and plays cricket. It’s not as if they’re short of cricket pitches in Bangladesh.
If you stay here long enough, you’re bound to make some friends, but that is irrelevant.
He should have gone home when his student visa expired. If playing cricket is now a legitimate basis for flouting the immigration process, then the game is well and truly up."

The specifics of what happens when immigrants arrive can be irritating but what worries me about immigration is that it is unsustainable. There is a very real danger that this year may bring an horrendous economic meltdown, it is also fairly certain that, over the next 50 years, climate change and the enrichment of China will lead to very high food prices. How British governments can justify the continued importation of half a million people a year when we are already have 20 million more people than we can feed from our own resources is beyond me. See The ONS Predicted population of Britain.
England has never been populated so far past its sustainability limits. It is probable that every half million people brought into England will cause half a million of our grandchildren or great grandchildren to die of famine at some time during the next 100 years. People just don't seem to appreciate the absolutely epic scale of the current migration into England.
Thanks for commenting, John.
