Why has no political party made this part of their manifesto?
NON-NEGOTIABLE PROPOSITIONS FOR WOULD-BE IMMIGRANTS
PROPOSITION 1
This should be made clear to everyone seeking UK residency. Residency necessarily and unambiguously requires absolute acceptance,, formally acknowledged, of the primacy of the UK law, whatever the culture and religious beliefs held by the applicant.
This is non-negotiable. Anyone who cannot accept that proposition has no permanent place here.
PROPOSITION 2
The national, unifying language of the UK is English. Therefore, permanent UK residence will require the adoption of English as the language of employment and education.
This is non-negotiable. Refusal to accept that means you have no permanent place in the UK. This should be made explicitly clear to applicants.
PROPOSITION 3
Grant of UK residency is dependent on acceptance of prevailing UK culture and heritage. That includes not only freedom of choice of belief, but also the social and legal status of women and their right to choose for themselves their future partner. This includes the illegality of female genital mutilation and forced marriage.
This is non-negotiable. Anyone who cannot accept that proposition has no place here. This should be made explicitly clear to any applicant.
PROPOSITION 4
If, having accepted all the implications and requirements entailed in grant of residency, is a wilful breach of those requirements, then not only is the residency or subsequent citizenship automatically revoked, the individual will be returned to their country of origin, irrespective of any changes in their UK domestic arrangements subsequent to their arrival in the UK.
This is non-negotiable. It should be made explicitly clear to all applicants.
