Conducive to the public good
Dear all,
Please find below a link to a home office consultation - released on Friday - on the powers of the Home Secretary to deport on the grounds of the person(s) not being conducive to the public good.
www.homeoffice.gov.uk
Given the present climate in the UK, a number of decisions could potentially be made which would disproportionately target one segment of society over another. Or nationals of certain countries over others.
This consultation is your chance to put forward your opinions and the government, within the formal consultation process, is duty bound to take these into account - if enough people say the same thing. Using the Freedom of Information Act, it is possible to gain access to the full responses (or a summary of) received. Just in case you'd like to reassure yourself that the government is being truthful.
I'd urge you to respond and to alert friends/colleagues/family as you deem necessary. It is much easier to stop something before it is in place than to try and change it after the fact.
To be heard we must speak up.

Comments on this journal
I am however, deeply mistrustful of this law being applied across the board - Muslims will be disproportionately targeted and Muslims from certain countries targeted.
There's also the point that this would be a politically-motivated decision and I would be much happier if such decisions were placed in the hands of the judiciary - quite simply I don't trust politicians (when it comes to these things in particular) to do things for the public good.
Others may be removed from the country for reasons other than we are told.
If it can be demonstrated that the government are acting in an open and transparent manner then fine. But do I trust the government to openly and honestly follow its own law...?
Lastly, this is a knee-jerk reaction for headlines and to be able to demonstrate something. It wouldn't have been effective against the guys who carried out the 7/7 bombings at all - iti doesn't address why those guys did what they did. Root causes and all that
