I wonder why. I also wonder if it will be subject to the same stringent data security that the child benefit database was subject to (i.e. pretty much none at all).<BR/><BR/>For this reason, if they want an email address they can have a fake one, and if they want credit card details then once again they can have expired or purposefully cancelled ones. It isn't as if they can check either detail, and it isn't as if their security based on past performance is good enough to trust, either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-3700569524226845772009-03-16T09:23:00.000+00:002009-03-16T09:23:00.000+00:00Exit Visas here we come!Exit Visas here we come!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-59215509555392422782009-03-15T09:00:00.000+00:002009-03-15T09:00:00.000+00:00Sorry - what is the issue you're really complainin...Sorry - what is the issue you're really complaining about?<BR/><BR/>Is 2900 arrests wrong - its only been running a relatively short time. (I can't find the time period those figures cover, but 82m is roughly the number of journeys through Heathrow each year, just to put it in context). If all the arrests were concentrated on Heathrow that would be around 8 per day - or 1.5 per terminal per day. Is that so wrong - for a system still getting going?<BR/><BR/>You make no mention of the deterrent effect.<BR/><BR/>And what about issues not resulting in arrest?<BR/><BR/>I seem to remember the last Tory government was moving us down this direction too in response to criticism of the lack of border controls. Lets have a comment on real issues, not faux indignation like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-1850060578275324942009-03-15T08:49:00.000+00:002009-03-15T08:49:00.000+00:00As long as we keep on arresting Everton strikes ev...As long as we keep on arresting Everton strikes every time they look in shop windows, we should be all right.
