#1 1. Is there a way to narrowly define this kind of measure so that governements aren't deporting anybody they feel like?

2. Bye-bye EU human rights legislation -- the UK is going to be just the first in a long line of European nations to decide that "human rights" is not more important than survival.

3. This took some balls. I wonder how Labor's loonier elements are taking this?

#2 Yes, balls big enough to come in a dump truck.(given his party's stance on most issues) I wonder if Americans are learning anything from all this? Like that you can pass laws that work, even if special interest doesnt like it.

#4 When I heard TB on the radio the first thing that popped into my mind is that Galloway and Red Ken will go ballistic over this. And in my book it makes it the right thing to do

#5 As valiant a move as this is, let's see what erosion in resolve there is in, say, six months or more.

#6 I agree CA, the proof will be if anyone is actually deported, or whether this is just a sop the general voting public.

#8 KM, two families in one car? Would that leave any room for the rucksacks?

#9 I'll believe it when I actually see a deportation, hell thay can't even extradite someonme to the US.
Talk is cheap and at least 80% of the population will think you have actually done something when you haven't. The Laborites like Clare Short will never allow it.

#10 "...following last month's transportation attacks that killed 52 people and four suspected suicide bombers".

Is it just me, or is there something unusual (as compared to say, their reports from Israel) in how they count?
