Wrong migrants making a killing

-

How can it be that a drug-dealing Albanian double murderer gets to stay in Britain, is given a four- bed house and £ 2,000 a month in benefits? Yet two law-abiding, hard- working families from Canada and Australia, who have set up businesses in the UK, become pillars of their communitie­s and have never taken a penny in benefits are being kicked out like trash.

Jason and Christy Zielsdorf came to Scotland from Canada eight years ago. They invested £200,000 of their own money in a shop-cum-cafe which is now thriving. Yet because they can only afford to employ one person, not two (a nit-picking condition of their business visa), the Home Office is telling them to sod off back to Canada.

Ditto Gregg and Kathryn Brain and son Lachlan who came here from Australia courtesy of a Scottish Government scheme to breathe fresh life into underpopul­ated rural areas.

Seven- year- old Lachlan has integrated so well he now speaks fluent Gaelic. But the Brains are being thrown out because the immigratio­n rules changed – which isn’t their fault.

But aren’t the Zielsdorfs and the Brains exactly the kind of immigrants Britain needs and wants – decent, enterprisi­ng grafters who’ve done everything possible to be valuable members of society.

They’ve used their own money to set up homes and businesses in a country they love and want to belong to.

But instead of busting a gut to keep people like them, this Government chooses to keep murdering scumbags like drug dealer Saliman Barci, who’s about as valuable to society as a dose of ebola.

Barci, convicted of murdering two men back home in Albania, lied and said he was a Kosovan refugee to get into Britain. Now he’s using human rights laws to stay. And while he fights to do that on legal aid – which the Zielsdorfs and the Brains have been denied – he’s living on benefits.

According to the Home Affairs Select Committee, there are 13,000 EU criminals living in Britain, many of whom are using our cash to fund their fight to stay because loony EU laws say they can. Its report accuses the Government of failing to kick out foreign crooks, even though it seems to be pretty damn good at kicking out law-abiding families.

So, courtesy of the EU’s idiot immigratio­n laws, we get to keep thousands of drug dealers, killers, child abusers, rapists and thugs.

Yet the Home Office is using the full force of those laws to kick out decent, industriou­s families who make a huge contributi­on to this country. How is that right or fair?

And how much longer are we going to allow bad people to abuse human rights laws? How long are we going to let people get away with claiming to be refugees when clearly they’re not?

How long are we going to allow the free movement of people from Europe which will swell our population by a million every three years and cripple our public services?

Britain HAS to be able to choose who settles here and we can only do that if we’re outside the EU.

Only then will we be able to stop turning away people who could change and revital ise this country and not have to keep accepting – and supporting – criminals who will corrupt, ruin and possibly bankrupt it.

But we have a PM who refuses to see that. In his first public debate on the EU referendum this week David Cameron didn’t want to talk about immigratio­n even though it’s one of the single biggest issues for the British people. And it’s his failure to tackle it that has made it so.

He doesn’t seem to care what they want – which is only to accept people who will contribute to our society, not take from and abuse it, like Saliman Barci.

So when Cameron keeps repeating the lie that he can better control immigratio­n from inside the EU, we should laugh in his face. Because he had his chance to do that – and he failed.

Courtesy of EU, we get to keep 13,000 crooks

Celebritie­s DO talk a load of old twaddle. Just two months ago Taylor Swift, famed for making deep and meaningles­s statements about nowt, tweeted that she was in a “magical relationsh­ip” with DJ Calvin Harris.

Then the couple posted a pic of their one-year anniversar­y cake which they’d baked together. Weeks later it’s all over. Cake gone! Magic gone!

Stars really need to learn not to overshare every detail of their lives if they don’t want to end up looking shallow and stupid.
