I don't disagree about waste - but the moment wide brushes like 'xenophobe', 'dearly beloved' or 'bleeding heart liberal' etc are introduced into a discussion - then all rational discussion goes out the window.Amber_ wrote:I think Obie was just generalizing, do not take it personally MPH80, your contributions are appreciated and yes, we all have our opinions, that is exactly what they are, mere opinions. However, sometimes, it gets very hard to weigh up or side with the Home Office when they waste tens if not hundreds of millions of pounds on ridiculous exercises when the money would be much better spent on welfare etc...
Yes it our duty as humankind to show kindness and compassionate to our fellows in distress.MPH80 wrote: I don't disagree about waste - but the moment wide brushes like 'xenophobe', 'dearly beloved' or 'bleeding heart liberal' etc are introduced into a discussion - then all rational discussion goes out the window.
This debate appears to be coming down to a simple two sided discussion:
Side 1: The man is at death's door - it's our duty as human beings to release him so he can survive
Side 2: The man may be at death's door - but it's his choice and within the bounds of the law he has to be held or returned.
Does that summarise it?
why not first we use such kindness and compassionate for those ones who living in streets without food and roof since many years.Seneca wrote:

Why, does in Nigeria now all the hospitals/community centers/charity run accommodations finished? why here, why not there?Seneca wrote:The person in question have mental problem and is in fear of his life. We should be concerned at this moment or how to help improve his mental and physical condition instead of to deport him asap do matter the cost or whether he will live or die.
Well all the reports I have read are saying he is mentally ill and very distressed so how can he make a choice?MPH80 wrote:I don't disagree about waste - but the moment wide brushes like 'xenophobe', 'dearly beloved' or 'bleeding heart liberal' etc are introduced into a discussion - then all rational discussion goes out the window.Amber_ wrote:I think Obie was just generalizing, do not take it personally MPH80, your contributions are appreciated and yes, we all have our opinions, that is exactly what they are, mere opinions.

On your first points. They are many charities doing exactly that. The two issue are not mutually exclusive we can do both if there is will.UKBA HUNTER wrote:

Yes i agree he should section for now, But HO have also option to grants him short stay under compassionate ground if they so wish instead of putting back into detention. Which might trigger similar problems again.MPH80 wrote:So it sounds to me like the 'mid-ground' here is:
Section him - treat him in a secure unit.
He'll get the treatment he needs and he's still held in detention as per current rules.

Whatever it is in anybody's own language but in reality it is a cowardly intended self imposed suicidal practice through starvation which result should fall on the shoulder of the person itself.Seneca wrote:

Read the MPH80 ideas of help again.Seneca wrote:On second points let us just do what we can to help the poor fellow.
I/we are not worried about Nigeria but we are worried about the wastage of tax payer money.Seneca wrote:Not worried too much what Nigeria can or can't do.
1.I don't think it is coward, Try it. it require immense determination. There are easy way to commit suicide.UKBA HUNTER wrote:

*Nigeria* should be worried about what it can or can't do. This their citizen. If they want to demonstrate any dignity whatsoever, as well as demonstrate any ability to take care of their citizenry, and if they don't want to appear to support their own citizens scampering off and claiming asylum in any country they can manage to get into, then they will take him back at their soonest opportunity. In fact they should be insisting that he be returned and be perfectly willing to flip the bill themselves.Seneca wrote:Not worried too much what Nigeria can or can't do.
1. It is a coward practice but slow paced/motion suicide to get sympathy with the hope to succeed before die.Seneca wrote:

2.I have seen MP80 post i am also offer other alternative.
3 The UK government might actually save money helping the guy instead of detain him indefinitely or send him without arranging things properly with Nigeria Government.
UK government deport people all the time to Nigeria. I think they rush this decision and the fact that the guy was at death door. I don't think if things were arranged properly they would have refuse to accept their own. But that is just my opinion.ouflak1 wrote:

If were them, I'd consider this fiasco rather humiliating and a slap on my international standing.
Agreed that is looking for sympathy, empathy and understanding.UKBA HUNTER wrote:

2. All these arrangement must be done within Nigeria with Nigerian funds with the hands of Nigerian authorities.
3. Nigerian government must be sued for what they did and must pay back all those funds incurring on this money/time wasting mission.
Look there are many countries in Africa and where he can legally enter and put this claim but why only England. And if you search on internet then many volunteers during the contention between Ireland and england dead in hunger strike and its not new method and should be ignored systematically. In my previous posts i have copied pasted few links not all because cannot entirely write and write the whole page which even suggest to not to believe such heinous act of starvation. I wish the clock reverse back to 17th or 16th century and this asylum system which people abusing is being regularized and then again clock set normal.Seneca wrote:Agreed that is looking for sympathy, empathy and understanding.UKBA HUNTER wrote:

Is it so odds to seek sympathy, empathy and understand when you down and out from others who are in position to help you?
I don't agreed that he is coward for going on strike, Hunger strike is the last resort used by many people like Gandhi and others to make last stand and to engage attention of authorities when all other avenue has been closed.
He has claimed his two relative have been killed by Boko Haram. He went to school with many of them and they can easily find him anywhere in Nigeria. So for him there is clear and real danger to his life. It is like if you cross Mafia and if they really want to find you and kill you, they will. He might have genuine case.
Suing will not help, talking will. If British Government really want to proceed with removal process, at least they should ask for guarantees that 1)he will be protected from Boko Haram and 2) They will offer him medical Help.
They did that to Abu Hamza and many others potential dangerous people. Why not for innocent person in fear of life and in need of medical help. But in case stop everything until he is better.

Read the UK history as how their government system evolved which now have been abusing rapidly with such so called dramas that encourage others as well means inviting more hurdles even for peaceful inhabitants.Seneca wrote:How was it back then and What is normal for you?UKBA HUNTER wrote: Look there are many countries in Africa and where he can legally enter and put this claim but why only England.
