No then. The example you've given is someone who might not like or vote for Keir Starmer. That's not a political opponent.

A political opponent is someone who is running against you for political office, or a rival politician with a different ideology. 

Otherwise you could argue that the majority of people who get sent down in any democracy under any prime minister are political opponents (unless that prime minister won over 50% of a vote). 

Which would be stupid. 

No. He's attempting to protect the ethnic vote people like that scumbag Galloway and the sectarian muslim parties are luring away.

Do they have any choice in matters like this or are they bound by precedent and legislation? 

I can't imagine a judge allowing someone to stay based on their discretion under these circumstances?

But despite the above, I suspect the average member of the public would be genuinely quite shocked how sympathetic, and sometimes credulous, immigration tribunal judges can be

Another case in point

An Albanian people smuggler granted asylum because it'd be "unduly harsh" on his Romanian wife to have to live in Albania and because the judge deemed he had a low risk of re-offending simply because he said he wouldn't

Thankfully, it was appealed to the upper tribunal and the judge there determined it should be sent back to the lower court for review

I can't read anymore without signing up but I feel I've read enough 

A jailed Albanian people-smuggler was allowed to remain in the UK after a judge ruled that he had become a “valuable member of society” despite having no “objective” evidence to justify his verdict...

If that's true. He's going to have to imprison literally millions of others too!

As mentioned this a judge being a prick leaving the ECHR does not solve that problem.

I have posted a few times about how shit public services are like the Tax Office.

I applied for a new passport using the online system. Applied Tuesday 18th, posted mine off next day. New one arrived today, so 9 days with regular text updates.

Really impressed.

It's really good nowadays isn't it? Car tax is similarly easy too!

When I had to renew mine last year, I went to the post office on a Thursday afternoon, had my photo taken and they sent my old one off. Recieved my new passport in the post the following Monday. Absolutely astonished. Cunts must be working 24/7.

They literally were for a good while to get ahead. All HMRC departments were and still are, properly at it

Daughter had to get a new one as it runs out in october and she is getting married and going away in july

As it stands she needs to get a new one again, before the other one was even due to run out

Does she actually need to get it changed?

Don't some countries not allow entry if you have say, less than 6 months left on your passport?

No he isn't (he would probably like to). This is just sending out a positive smoke signal to those ethnic voters who might be swayed by the others mentioned. He's already done enough probably. A shame because his 35% share of the vote down to say 32% could only be good.

No but getting out would be a massive fillip to the ability to stop the fuckers arriving illegally. Turning back the boats mid Channel (or even closer to the edge of French territorial waters to lessen further the chances of drownings) for example.

Serious question if we leave the ECHR and instead rewrite our own legislation, how long do you think that will take ?

Probably much longer than I would like but every day allowed to float by makes the end date that much later.

Have I missed something..so why the question on whether she needs to get it changed?

He said she's getting married, so presume she'll need a new one to reflect her new surname.

Mrs e has left hers as is. No point wasting money on a new passport when not needed
