Another cool story about an immigrant being paid 3,000 pounds to leave the UK voluntarily. But he is no ordinary immigrant, he's a criminal. When does the British Establishment wish to pay criminals to leave the UK? The funny thing is, after he left he returned the following day.
This could only happen in the UK. People are really taking the country for a ride. Why does the Government pay an immigrant to leave? It's a form of bribery. Imagine the Korean Authorities offering 6 million won to leave Korea, it is a daft rule. Oh well! Nice to see that illegal immigrants are treated to a silver service and everything is provided on tap. "Do you want to stay in a hotel pending your application for asylum? No problem we can provide that".

Thief paid �3,000 to leave UK back next day
By Andy Bloxham
A prolific thief who was paid �3,000 by the Government to leave Britain returned the next day to continue stealing, a court has heard.
Hakim Benmakhlouf, 26, who is Algerian, preyed on tourists and guests at five-star hotels and restaurants, stealing cash, passports and designer handbags.
Benmakhlouf, who dressed from head to toe in designer clothes, was caught and convicted, then offered �3,000 under a "voluntary repatriation" scheme.
He took the money and left Britain but returned by Eurostar from Paris the next day to continue his lucrative crime spree, Southwark Crown Court heard.
Sentencing, Judge John Price jailed him for three years and recommended that he be deported as soon as he has served his term.
Benmakhlouf, a father of two who had 12 different aliases and used three different dates of birth, used distraction tactics to aid his stealing.
In one bag theft at the Madame Tussauds waxworks in London, he sprayed his victim with tomato sauce to create confusion. According to police, Benmakhlouf lived an extravagant lifestyle, enjoying a home in St John's Wood, in north-west London.
One investigating officer described Benmakhlouf as the "best thief I have ever seen".
He had a string of convictions and was jailed for three and a half years in December 2005.
During that sentence, he was offered voluntary deportation, which he accepted. But he returned immediately and, in October 2007, he was caught on CCTV stealing a Louis Vuitton bag at a London hotel.

Whats wrong with the UK? Where do we start!
A lot of social commentators pinpoint the death and the subsequent funeral of Diana Spencer and the over the top outpouring of grief by the public of some priveliged toff who no-one knew as a starting point.
Some people blame 'New Labour' for ripping off the working man since they came into power in 1997 and never giving them an even break for the 10 plus years in power.
Some people blame immigration - Poles, Lithuanians, Slovaks, Bosnians who all contribute to the economy and social fabric but also bring their unque culture and way of life are to blame for the disfragmentation of British society.
I personally blame the disfragmentation of British society on lazy, dole grabbing bastards and stupid little girls getting pregnant at 16 who have now produced the first generation of 'men' who tend to be violent, stupid, have no respect but demand respect. The only thing they know how to do is get girls pregnant with their supersperm. As stupid as most of them are and as lacking in any kind of morality that they have been dragged up in by their childlike parents - they are bright enough to know the system that if they get themselves pregnant at 15 then all responsility to work or educate themselves goes - and free housing, free money and free everything else is coming their way. I know this because it has happened
within my family! 
Bascially - this is a country in which nowadays - it doesn't pay to educate yourself - it doesn't pay to be clever/a smartarse and the intellectual
culture that still exists in France and Spain and Germany and all but disappeared over here.
The exapansion of the televised media is making heroes of people who are scum - the likes of Jade Goody (it isn't just her I agree but she is the best known) are encouraging people not to strive for an education or self betterment - the great unwashed and their views that were largely ignored in the past are all too apparent now anytime you pick up a publication or switch on the telly - they are there and they all have a voice and a view even though they have done nothing with their lives and been nowhere. Unfortuneatley the people who should know better are taking up the cudgels of these halfwits with a voice!
The violence, drug abuse, crime and everything else is an offshoot of the above, people with anything about them do not want to live amongst them anymore. I don't - I know if I go to South Korea or Peru or Madagascar - they aint going to follow me! It is empowement in my favour knowng that I can leave the shit behind.
It is too late to change this generation of shit, you will never condition these lot to work 8 hours in a factory or educate themselves - if you stop their dole they will just go out on the rob.
The real parasites are not the immigrants so many British people want to put the blame on but our own! And thats why everyone is leaving because the lazy, good for nothing indigenous pieces of shit are not going to change or go anywhere. |

Never heard of the expression Englishness, because it'd be a little too open. English is the language so I'd imagine that'd include many different cultures: Aussie, NZ, Yanks etc. Britishness is confined to the country and means we are a slightly pessimistic nation, prone to occasional eccentricity and drinking 'Binge'. |
I suppose 'englishness' is 'britishness'. By using the term 'englishness' I was simply trying to be exclusive as there are surely many scots/welsh etc whose sense of identity is very different than my own as an englishman. Silly of me really as i'm sure the whole place shares many of the same social problems. Try asking what Britishness is; there has been a big public debate about this recently. Nobody will be able to tell you because there is no national identity. There is nothing to bind the country together. |

Jesus, that was beautiful. Actually, BK, I'm rather surprised to see you take such a Right Wing position. The bit I've bolded is straightforwardly false, however. British white trash is a large minority exactly akin to the US.
Anyway, I'm very sorry to hear that the UK is going down the loo, since I'm leaving Korea (probably permanently) within days for a temporary though somewhat lengthy stay in England. Unfortunately, my mother and I have a rocky relationship and we've argued again recently, but no matter. Gonna move in with one of my best friends.
Personally, I feel that since the 1960s, despite its massive contribution to Rock Music - the best thing, ever! - evolution in the UK has gone largely backwards since that decade and I yearn for the systematic, state-sponsored persecution of the UK's poisonous and inferior untermenschen. Never gonna happen, so keep dreaming, Justin!
Mind you, you've always gotta be sceptical of "the country's going to the dogs". They've been saying it for years and yet we have an economy 85% of the Chinese economy with a mere 4.6% of the Chinese population....17% of the GDP of the EU with 12% of the population. The UK - chiefly the English - punch above their weight, always have, always will. |

I'm a reactionary bastard when it comes to the scum who make our lives a misery with their lack of reponsibility and their behaviour. The great shame is which you have pointed out is that we are still one of the richest countries in the world and are entrenched in our seat in the G8. This is still a country of opportunity - the United States of America of Europe - this is still a place where people dream of working hard, owning a house with a garden, getting thier kids a good education - I watched a programme the other day called 'meet the immigrants' and the people coming from all over the world to live here and to work hard and own property and to give their kids a better life. It is still an immigrant society like the USA or Australia where you can live the dream and achieve a good life if you work hard.
However - there is a culture amongst the indigeous (and an extremly influential one at that - it isn't the majority by any means but it is a fair number) that is opposite to the credo of the people coming in. A lot of the scum want to get rich quick, they watch big brother, wife swap or pop idol and now think they don't have to work for anything anymore - they seem to think that getting a job in a factory is beneath them and if Jade Goody can do it - so can they!
The fact most of the scum can barely read or write never mind have any skills, they seem to think they are too good to pick fruit from a field.
I think the 9/11 incident (and 7/7) Has done a great disservice to rerouting the problem in this country - people have now decided that it is the muslim population that are a problem and though there are segements that are a problem amongst the muslim community - it is miniscule compared to the problems that are being caused by our home grown layabouts.
When you come back here Justin - you will soon leave for elsewhere - the
rampant anti-intellectualism in this country will wear down a bright guy like yourself and you will sod off elsewhere like we are all doing. The Chav scum layabout will always be rooted here as for them living abroad will mean working and thats the last thing they want to do. I don't want to live amongst them and I doubt you will after a few weeks back mate - it really has gone down the pan. |

This is great, so they pay criminals to go away and fine law-abiding citizens (e.g. first post) for putting out their rubbish (should get an applause, that's a big word for an American) . . . There was an article in December about the government paying for the hymen-reconstruction surgeries Muslim women get. No, this wasn't good Qur'an abiding women who had been raped, these were girls who wanted to have their taste of--quite a sampling too!--fun before marrying their Pakistani sugar daddy as pristine untouched virgins. . .

England became a victim of its own arrogance by thinking it could depend on its management skills to manage the hord of immigrants into the country as temp workers and hope that they'll leave.
Management also fights back by making all kinds of excuses not to employ foreigner born British citizens into management where they can be influential and add value to local companies (British airways sucks, the airport sucks, British cars sucks, British electrics sucks etc etc), leaving everything to twits whose only talent is to sit back like critics and bark like dogs.
The only thing England has going for it are its marketing labels and Simon Cowell. |

I don't think it is right wing to condemn the feckless underclass that infests our society. Some people call them chavs, I prefer "Rat People".
I am a liberal. But I am tired of these scum abusing the welfare state. The welfare state was designed to be a safety net, not a life support system from cradle to grave. Why does the government give so much to these people? We are now seeing families where for 3 generations nobody has had to fend for themselves.
Have you ever been to Stoke? Or Crawley? Both full of rat people.
I can understand why immigrants are given so much because they are willing to contribute to society. They are willing to work and put money into the collective pot, not sponge from it. In the UK we don't care what colour you are or where you are from. As long as you pay your own way and don't have an inflated sense of entitlement then you can do whatever you want.
I worked in a secondary school in England. My god, if that is the next generation then we are seriously screwed. I am liberal when it comes to drugs policy, but when even the Year 7's are being busted for drugs it is getting out of hand. I think British society needs to toughen up, if things get really bad then it could allow fascist barstards like the BNP to worm their way into power. We can't let that happen.
It is quite sad as well how "Daily Mail" a person can sound when they talk about the UK. There are wistful things I miss about my homeland - The countryside, the wildlife, the food, the beer etc but the society in England is screwed. Britain is being turned into a holiday home and tax haven for the super rich.

Another classic reason why I left the UK. I didn't want a knife in my back.

Murdered Harry Potter actor's family call for end to knife crime epidemic
By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
Last Updated: 10:58AM BST 26/05/2008
The family of Robert Knox, the murdered young actor, has called for an end to the knife crime epidemic as they paid tribute to a teenager they had thought was "invincible". The family of a teenager stabbde to death is Sidcup have urged people to stop knife violence.
His father, Colin, told how the last conversation he had with his 18-year-old son was about the danger of knives. He said: "There's a lot of fear out there and someone has to change the way we think."
A man has been arrested over the killing, the 28th murder of a teenager this year � half of them stabbings.
Opposition leaders accused the Government of failing to "get a grip" on the rise in knife crime.
David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said: "Tragically, these kinds of horrific incidents have become all too common. We need an overhaul, at every level, to tackle this scourge on our streets."
Robert had only last week finished filming his part as Marcus Belby in the film Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince, which is due for release in November.
The film will be dedicated to him and Mr Knox said he hoped that would increase the focus on knife crime.
"If that serves the purpose, then hopefully Robert will have done something else exceptional in his short life," he said.
"With knives there are no winners and only losers. If you carry a knife there's the intention to use it, so please don't do that for the sake of my son. Think about the consequences."
