I don't think we should reconvene this discussion until we have all completed a masters in English Language.

Having spent more than three years in Nigeria and being a fully paid up member of the UK Border Agency, I feel I'm qualified to comment on this one.

The medical facilities in Nigeria are bad. Seriously bad. Even if a hospital has up to date equipment it is by no means a given that there will be staff sufficiently trained to use it. Expats would frequently be medivacced out to either the UK or South Africa rather than face treatment in Nigeria for even minor conditions. I know of somebody that was shipped out of the country simply to be given a cortisone injection. Death and complications during childbirth are far more commonplace than in the developed world. With this in mind, I fully understand why pregnant ladies are lining up to try and give birth in this country. It's a normal human impulse to seek to improve your chances of a successful delivery.

The flip side of this is our approach to dealing with this impulse. We frequently see ladies heavily pregnant arriving in this country, ostensibly for a holiday. However, should that person be refused and an attempt made to remove them, they will immediately claim that they are not fit to travel despite the fact that they have just done precisely that to be here. The chances are that they will be allowed to remain and deliver the child here. Then it is up to the NHS to try and recoup some of the costs associated with this. Both the Border Agency and NHS do work together to try and prevent this situation from occurring but are limited in what they can achieve.

And the answer is?

Well, I don't know. Any suggestions?

Sorry, but in your post I may have missed something. In your first paragraph you quite clearly state:

"Having spent more than three years in Nigeria and being a fully paid up member of the UK Border Agency, I feel I'm qualified to comment on this one"

and then this little peach to round off

"And the answer is? Well, I don't know. Any suggestions?"


Dare I say get up off your backsides and do your job properly for which we pay you ?


So in this same statement you proclaim to be qualified to offer your opinion but offer no answers, seeking ours to attack Good try me old left wing pal but your as much a Border Agency Officer as I was as an attendee at The Prince of Monaco's wedding. Go back to the drawing board mate and consider what you've just written!!

She should not have been allowed to travel in the first place and that is the point that is being made. The debate now is now that she is here she has appointed a specialist immigration lawyer (at "OUR") taxpayers expense, a certain Mr Dado. The firm is based in Harrow, but only offers one contact name as an adviser on their correspondence, anything to hide well who knows. I've done my research and know this firm inside out.

As she is now here, then yes lets help her, but come the time when its ready, then its time to go home. She didnt go through the proper immigration channels and has shown herself and more importantly her husband who fled back to Nigeria until things calm down as crooked and trying to play our system !!

Also I believe a space after the comma is normally required... but who am I to judge? Chomsky is an anarchist not a lefty!! Or maybe now just a libertarian cop-out...

There is also no need for the space between the 'where' and the question mark.

A banker, a Daily Mail reader and a benefit
claimant are sitting at a table sharing
12 biscuits.

The banker takes 11 and says to the
Daily Mail reader:
"Watch out for the benefit claimant,
he wants your biscuit"

The simple answer is relatively simple i think. We need to close the gap between medical facilities in the developing world and the western world. In-fact close the gap between rich and poor across the planet.

The fear the answer to the next question is the complex one. How do we do that?

Buy fair Trade,
Pressure Multi-nationals into paying their way in these countries,
There was a link about tax and the developing nations on the tax thread,
Look at the causes of the civil war in these countries.

Completely off the top of my head. But surely people don't have to live in such terrible conditions that they take great risk to get to another country and/or take liberties with the countries that are trying to help.

Cuckoo....Cuckoo....Viney I have you down as an intelligent man, but do you really think investments and trading profits to these tin-pot dictatorship countries will reach the major of the populations ?
