The Tory-LD government excels in double-speak. Just assume that what they will do is the opposite of what they say.... 'The NHS safe in our hands.'... 'We're all in this together'... 'We won't cut Surestart, Winter Fuel payments... & so on'... 'We can have a fair universal single benefit payment system'... 'We will cut immigration'... it is all so simple when you understand the 'game'. Unfortunately, we are the ones who are losing to this plutonomic heist, as we hurtle towards third world conditions and mass unemployment, and the super-rich become even richer. (1000 richest UK citizens quadrupled wealth since 2008 .. now worth 400 billion.)

I agree with the gentleman above.
Brodie Clarke had a rather chequered history in the prison service for most of his'career' despite which he was regulary promoted and thereafter moved to the border agency, he is trying to protect his very nice pension and has started to back- track after yesterdays committee meeting maybe it has some thing to do with the 'Leaked ' document that proves that Brodie Clarke did indeed relax checks on foreign nationals who needed visa's to enter the UK after the Home Secretary explicity said this must not happen under any circumstances, there is also the proof of other documents and the meeting between brodie Clarke and Mr Whiteman which i'am sure after the investigation information will come to light which is why Brodie Clarke is now back-tracking and Labour are just trying to hide their involvment in this fiasco, but their grubby little paws are all over it .I also thought Damian Green was brilliant in his out down to Yvette Cooper when he said' yes this is all too late several years too late'and when he said'it was a pity she did not listen before starting her rant', i though she was prehaps a little over the top considering Labour's involvement in this, and for a potential new Leader at some point it was a little sloppy of Yvette Cooper of whom i am a big supporter of.

Clark is a lying toad protecting his excessive pension after a lifetime of failure. Prison riots, IRA...

The fact is the queues are too long at immigration control desks.
A system of random checks pulling people out of the line for a thorough going over should be instituted, along with rigourous intelligence briefings on potential suspects and a thorough going over on their landing.
But why were planes kept circling around, when there were empty bays for them to park, even though the queues were long? Why couldn't the planes land and pasengers remain on board, or be transfered to a specially built holding area, before going through controls?
The mistake Teressa made was to finger Brodie Clark and expose him to public gaze. If he had been at fault the Permanent Secretary would have dealt with him.
The problem with politicians is that they always think a policy can be implemented smoothly just because they say so, politicians who've never run anything or had a proper job in their lives before.

this woman is very obviously a skilled liar,power obsessed and self promoting politician.
maybe she will be forced to resign,it could even be an indefinite sentence.
