Legal aid should not fund asylum legal action.

Look, EU freedom of movement was never meant to enable gangmaster led zombie eastern European work forces destroying minimum labour prices across Europe.

It was designed to enable companies to set up across Europe and allow their staff to work from different countries, or for Germans to work in France or vice versa. Adding skillsets and growing economies. Not shifting the lowest common denominator or allowing people from countries with a low gdp to come earn from a higher gdp country and send the money back home (economic withdrawal) and abuse higher levels of benefits from countries with a higher cost of living.

The problem was the EU expanded maybe too much too quickly without changing the tenants of freedom of movement which was not intended to be exploited in this way.

They would have known what would happen, even before said Eastern expansion. And I very much suspect that many were in favour.

Cheap migrant labour (and the resulting depressed wages but *also* cheap food, etc) were probably adjudged to be good things at the time, by the leaders of Germany, France, and probably also the UK.

They will have commissioned and read numerous reports on the possible economic consequences.

My point is why can't they appeal from abroad? . . .

I suspect because the process of appealing from overseas would be much more expensive and/or would be most unlikely to succeed.

. . . Why do their lawyers launch the challenges hours before the flight is due to depart? . . .

That one is very easy to answer - because the Lawyers involved are advised at the very last moment that a deportation has been ordered - probably because the Government is "gaming the system".

. . . Like i said, call in a bunch of prosecutors and judges from Mykonos to review the cases and kick out the appeals. This problem would be wrapped up by Xmas and these lawyers wouldn't even bother.

Say what?

Are you posting in the wrong thread or are you seriously suggesting that we should hand our legal system over to the Greeks?

We've had loads of court cases via zoom since covid plus it was being done before hand anyway for those who couldn't be in court.

The government aren't gaming the system, the case was heard and rejected. At that point if there was a reasonable appeal would it not be launched immediately? Rather than hoping to time out the request and keep them here for as long as possible before launching the appeal just before the inevitable removal?


Given the way the Greek prosecutors took down Harry Maguires defence im pretty sure they would cut right through these last minute appeals and prosecute quickly and judiciously.
