HOME Secretary Alan Johnson has been accused of "betraying" a respected Hull asylum seeker.
The Hull West and Hessle MP has been charged with ending his support for Emmanuel Njoya and his family after taking the top post with the Home Office last year.
So what we have here is Alan Johnson (Hull West and Hessle MP) being convinced enough of the merits of Mr Njoya's case that he willing to write to the Home Secretary and plead his case. We also have Alan Johnson (Home Secretary) suggesting the case is without merit and deporting a man and his family who may now be killed due to their political allegiance. I will leave the reader to decide on the potential motives behind Mr Johnson's actions, particularly given the likely criticism of the government's record on immigration and the upcoming general election, but suffice to say one of our Alan Johnsons has got it horribly wrong.
There are right ways to reduce the influx of people into this country so that genuine asylum seekers can justifiably be accommodated, but I'm not sure this is it. Won't mention Europe because it doesn't really need saying, but imagine how much easier it would be for genuine asylum seekers coming to this country if the vast majority of migration into this country was by the permission of our elected government rather than because the European Union has decided to allow it. Oops, guess I did mention Europe there a little bit didn't I?
