Ducky J Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 At least the Cosmonauts who have had to cancel have done so not out of choice but the fact that they cannot leave the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducky J Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) or rather enter ours I thought that I had read somewhere else that it was to do with the change of a government, and that has happened recently in Russia. But, upon closure inspection I see it is the change in British Government rulings..this damn cold is screwing with my eyes...

descartes Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 At least the Cosmonauts who have had to cancel have done so not out of choice but the fact that they cannot leave the country. Yes, for once I believe its not the Russians who are being awkward, but UK Immigration. It p***** me off to hear this Government going on about secure borders when we know if you want to get in illegally its the easiest thing in the world. But stick to the rules, apply officially for a visa and you get rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But stick to the rules, apply officially for a visa and you get rejected. Don't get me started about this subjet, my fiance earned to much for the me to be entitled to job seekers allowance of any kind, where as someone could jsut walk into this country illigaly and be given everything. We were not even sure at one point if we had enough for food, because we had the gas, electric, tv licesnce and car insurance come out all in the same month as everthing else like rent etc, and I wasn't able to help with the bills, at all. This goverment sucks big time, they even get given a second housing allowance, so they can buy stuff for there second home worth thousands, while others suffer. Sorry to go on but things to do with our goverenment and immigrants really gets to me, the good ones can't get in and the bad, well come on down the price is right, we'll even throw in a flat or two rent free (and I know this happens, at least where I live) Sorry guys ignore me I'm still feeling pretty tired after going to bed a little to late (well late for me anyway) LLAP Edited April 17, 2008 by zebredy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyT Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 someone could jsut walk into this country illigaly and be given everything. I'm afraid you're talking utter rubbish. Illegal immigrants are not entitled to any benefits, as can be confirmed by both police literature (http://www.sussex.police.uk/about_us/race_equality_scheme/Migrant_work_4pgr.pdf) and parliamentary record (http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200607/cmhansrd/cm071008/text/71008w0031.htm check out the sections headed Social Security Benefits and Social Security Benefits: Illegal Immigrants). The worrying thing is that ignorance such as this is can exacerbate tension in local communities, and is susceptible to exploitation by racist and fascist-inclined political elements.
