the role of US-based evangelists in the uganda situation - and elsewhere - is particularly pernicious, and a disturbingly globally aware move on their part. Check out The Call: The Anti-Homosexuality Bill of 2009, introduced last October by parliamentarian David Bahati, had its origins in a...

they'll say a year or even 6 months exceeds the £600, I think. I think it's roughly 1500 - and at least 1000 - asylum decisions every month. with 15-20% granted, that's potentially around 200 files to audit. Conceivably someone could do that in 3.5 days. I'd happily select a month for my own...

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t8752#synopsis pretty good take on human effects of inadequate legal rep caused by idiotic LSC funding/payments regime, plus extent of shoddy advisers. shame it takes something like a suicide to provoke this kind of programming.

RMJ closure main topic at Immigration Advisory Service conference yesterday. Man from the Legal Services Commission insisted they did all they could and RMJ shut down communications/left it to the '13th hour' (I quote) to advise them of imminent closure and hence actively prevented the earlier...

gwarn sufi. really interested to see what this turns up.

quite. i take it back re: the discretion argument - supreme court actually expressly rejected that: In 2009 the Court of Appeal determined that asylum could be refused if it was considered that it would be ‘reasonably tolerable’ for the applicant to conceal their sexual identity in their...

not really. it's age-old lifestyle choice vs. state of being, with a healthy dose of xenophobia chucked in. and wholesale missing of the point that you'd still need to evidence your claim and prove ongoing danger of individual persecution - and presumably an innate liking for kylie - rather...

Not the first, although I think grants on the basis are pretty low. the judgement doesn't really say anything about the 'discretion' argument either - that you can go back to a different bit of the country and you know, just be a bit secret about it. Never fear though - anne widdecombe has a...

officially.... this today: It with sadness that I have to tell you that the plan to rescue RMJ has not been successful. However, we have been overwhelmed and very touched by the support we received. The future at this point is not clear. However, if it becomes possible to save part of RMJ...

there's also an insistence from ukba on using the lowest possible legal standards to to determine the need for protection, and waiting for it to be challenged on appeal. if standards were raised just slightly, legal/support costs would be reduced and protection would be granted to a whole lot...

that's definitely one element, and it's pretty institutionalised. the whistleblowing case from the temp who worked for the border agency in cardiff shows just how much so: Louise Perrett, who worked as a case owner at the Border Agency office in Cardiff for three and a half months last summer...

ah ok, thanks. really gutting, this.

where's your info from - u no someone who works there/work there yourself? can't see anything on their website or on the facebook group...

this is really only part of the problem. key issue is the quality (or lack thereof) of intial decision-making - Home Office has sped it up, but routinely makes poor initial decisions on asylum claims. appealing these decisions eventually takes cases into the mainstream legal system, which is...

going on that logic, you are saying because the 'anymandj' isnt called roska, he going to play a top ten released funky tunes set. no not at all. in fact this is exactly what i meant:

he absolutely is a great producer, and in his own sphere, no questions - for me personally tho producers playing out works by and large on the basis of dubplates. to be fair i could check for a whole load of non-producing, anyman DJs into dubstep/funky/wotdoyouwhatever that would have played...

yh hello and that. caught roska in leeds and his set was pretty much how it's been described here. struggled with relatively shoddy sound and a shocking mc, but mixing still dubious, and tunes of his that he dropped were the released ones plus a bit of rat alert/wile out-ish student fayre...
