Absolutely dripping in garlic. I used to have it with garlic cubed potatoes and garlic bread. On a totally unrelated note I never had a girlfriend.

He's declared a national emergency to build a wall to prevent illegal immigrants from entering the country. Yet last year he tweeted saying illegal immigration was at an all-time low.

They proceeded to take out digital cameras and photographing/videoing the food. Shooting it from multiple angles and various filters. Then took out their phones and did the same. 5 minutes later when my food arrived, they were still photographing the food. If a brunch happens in Dublin and there’s no one there to photograph it, would it still taste as nice?

It's a political decision at this stage and one the Tories will benefit from, but there are far, far worse people in prison in the UK that will never be considered for deportation. I'm not overly familiar with all the details - but I gather the person in question has been unrepentant but have they actually broken any laws in the UK? I presume their association with terror organisations is a crime but were they involved in any actual attacks? I dunno, I can see the Dailymail getting giddy with themselves but I think it's a questionable precedent.

My issue is that while I found her obvious lack of remorse chilling, I also don't like how a minister can remove her citizenship for completely political reasons. The system should be process based or else it's just cruel and arbitrary. It's why I didn't like it when the Chinese kid from Bray was appealing to Simon Harris for a stay on his deportation. Or how every TD up and down the country manages to grease the wheel for every constituent who jumps up and down because of how long the driving test queue is. A failure to adhere to the rule of law is cruel and leads to chaos. The legal loophole Javid (the home secretary) is exploiting here is his power to remove citizenship from a dual national. She's not a dual national but her mother is Bangladeshi and so she's entitled to Bangladeshi citizenship. It'll be challenged and the home office might lose but his point would have been won by then all over the Daily Mail. I'd take her back and remind her how democracy and the rule of law works. Which includes prison.

Which includes prison. Just to tidy something up - that kid from Bray is Irish, has an Irish accent, Irish education and entirely Irish friends. He's no more Chinese than I am and every bit as Irish as my own kids, even if the law says otherwise. The ISIS bride is still surrounded by extremists so I doubt there is anything she would be willing to say against the party line and I can imagine those who were bombed by US and UK planes see any attack on the UK as justified, not that I agree with them but it wouldn't be an unreasonable conclusion. I hear what you are saying about the dual citizenship but I think if she was an Irish citizen I'd rather we brought her here to be dealt with. The more I reflect the more I think it's the wrong outcome.

But as it stands, his salvation came at the foot of a public pressure campaign which basically forces the government to subvert the law. This will keep happening. I want our laws to work, not have to work around them. Same goes for tests, you shouldn't have to wait six months for one. I agree it's the wrong outcome. I wish she was going back to Britain and straight in a cell.
