Immigrants Boom For Passport Industry
“IMMIGRATION SOARS TO NEW RECORD,” says the Express’ front-page screamer. “It’s no wonder two million Britons have moved abroad.”
The Express says that “migrants are being handed British passports at a rate of one every three minutes”.
A first or renewed adult passports costs at least £72 (it costs £97 to fast-track one, and £114 for a same-day service). The Home Office Identity & Passport Service is earning £1,440 an hour from passports; £34,560 a day; £241,920 a week.
The Government is doing very well from the trade in ID documents.
And then there are those Britons who have needed a passport to flee the country, and so secure not just a foreign plumber who costs 34p and hour but all their full contingent of foreign staff.
Since 1997 two million Britons have left the country, “fed up with failing public services, rising crime and the spiralling tax and cost-of-living burden”.
The Express has no data to support that claim, and a straw poll at aboard the Anorak ComfiBus finds that:
24% are leaving because the drink is cheaper in Spain
19% want to avoid the EastEnders omnibus
16% are fearful of meeting Ant ‘n’ Dec
35% can’t speak Polish

Dear Matt,
I don’t see what you’re complaining about. Obviously, you have access to a computer and time to surf the web. That’s better treatment than most US Immigrants.
Sincerely,

US tortures scientist for European Community passport found with him
Open Letter to European Commission:
Attn: European Commission:
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am a theoretical Physicist holding German citizenship
and the passport of the Republic of Poland and world expert
in Condensed Matter Theory.
On June 2007 I was arrested by the United States Border Protection
Service while I was trying to get to Canada for Polish (European
Community passport found with me with expired USA visa stamp
when waiting for extension and adjustment of my US work visa.
I was tortured with one week of forcible travel to concentration
camp in Florence Arizona when I was kept for two mounts with
citizens of Mexico, Guatemala, and El Salvador in amounts about
200 per one cell and forced to public showers for stamp
in European passport.
I immigrated to United States from Poland for the purpose
of PhD studies in the University of Rochester holding student
visa forced by hunger in Republic of Poland before its
EU membership, was never
charged by the United States of any crime neither worked there
illigaly to laws of the United States,
I request the investigation against the United States government,
United States and the persons involved and ask the
European commission to stop the diplomatic
relations with the United States and all economic, banking and trade
ties until I am allowed to return to my home in Utah, car
detained at Canadian border and
property based
of natural law and common understanding of rights.
This mistreatment of European scientist by the government
of United States must face immediate response of the
European Union and must be explained.
Sincerely,
Matt Kalinski
