Not if the job starts to get done. The last lot set up the UKBA to facilitate migration so people on benefits could stay there while migrants did the work.

Anybody who wants to be a politician should be debarred from doing so, except hereditary peers.

They do have a boat or two.

Very nice boats I think. If the government buys the fuel I would be quite happy to take over the UKBA task, crewed by oldies from this forum perhaps. Now that's what they call 'big society' eh?

The boats belong to the UK Border Force not the Border Agency.

Anybody want £2m of headed paper and other assorted forms headed UK Border Agency!!

Don't you just love paying your taxes??

It should be outsourced to the Ozzies.

Now THAT is a good idea

At least the job would be done right for a change. Only problem is what to do with the bunch of incompetent idiots that work for UKBA.

None. The choice lies between violent revolution and emigration.

Broken Britain indeed.

My nephew is working his way up the senior management chain in the UKBA. He says his biggest problem is staff and the BOHICA factor.

My niece is too. trouble is, I think she may be the BOHICA factor!

Transport them to Oz.

 

[trapezeartist]

OK. I'll be the one to ask it then. What is the BOHICA factor?

Bend Over, Here It Comes Again.

First heard it from my Dad in the MOD in London.

So what makes them think they're being 'shafted' on a regular-ish basis & by whom!?

Probably the Government itself,hav'nt they underfunded it? & it was said on the radio yesterday that amalgamating it with home office would mean a cut in funding.

It should - they won't need their own HR, payroll, back office functions, etc.

I'd hate to work for the UKBA - whatever they do, deportees are supported by the courts and ECHR, we can't send them back properly, and magistrates don't fine businesses that employ the illegals.

Damned if they do, damned if they don't.

I take it this is the same as when a rail franchisee changes, eventually the kit and the offices get new livery but its the same kit and staff only a few people at the top of the pyramid have actually changed.
