For Britain to appeal to Mugabe for this move could have put both false and failed asylum seekers in great danger. Failed asylum seekers could have been easily targeted on their arrival back home, as their information would have been passed on to the ruling party.
The move by Britain left a lot to be desired regarding Britain's track record on human rights issues. It seems Downing Street is mainly concerned with lowering the number of immigrants at any cost. The country once regarded as a safe haven by many has of late become the champion of inhumanity as many asylum claims have been rejected in order to meet targets set by the Department of Home Affairs.
Since the Zimbabwean government rejected Britain's request last week, does this mean all failed asylum seekers from Zimbabwe are now deemed stateless? – GLEE CHINANA, United Kingdom
I personally believe they will make much nicer Zimbos than when they left here because now they will appreciate so much more than when they quit with all that frustration in their hearts. They will have skills now and know how to work hard. Just dont dish out farms at random to them. Don’t be afraid to embrace these people who went to find a better life and now know it is in Zimbabwe and nowhere else. Why else would they want to come home. This Govt should at least give them the chance. For the sake of their families please let them return. There are mums and dads out there and parents and children here grieving for their failed return. It is inhuman to let them waste away in the UK. Bring them back – they will make much better Zimbos, I am sure.

Or do they pay for such ridiculous advertising. If not, may I at this junction remind all your readers that Zambezi Wind Song is on sale through amazon.com and also my boys book Uncle’s Glass Eye as well. I have to buy Uncle’s Glass Eye (approved by Ministry of Education Harare) myself and donate it to school children which is not exactly a money-spinner for me!
On the other hand, after a rethink, I consider that possibly many Asylum Seekers probably realise that because the British are reining in on Benefit scams that their time is up and they want to come home to be buried in the hot sands of their rural areas exactly where their umbilical cords mark the spot that brings them home. It could therefore be at their own request. Either way, Mugabe now has the British Government over a barrel. Or else why would the Brits suddenly think that the Asylum Seekers all actually lied to get into Britain and drain its resources in accessing Benefits and starting up second families accommodated in free Housing which includes free Council Tax, free Medical, free Education, free Bus Passes etc in the UK? Britain is tightening its belt and has decided to rid itself of unnecessary expenses, beginning with foreigners. However, it still pays US$250 Million every year to Uganda and affords them, and other African States, several Guilt Loans on the never-never. Is this Uganda’s reward for remaining in the Commonwealth? It must be cheaper therefore to send Zimbabwe’s Asylum Seekers and their new families back to Zimbabwe before it starts funding the grandchildren and extended families in endless free burials over the years. Yes, methinks that Mugabe seriously has the British over a barrel this time. The Question is How many Asylum Seekers are there in Great Britain and will they make Zimbabwe worth it’s while to rid Britain of them? And once the Scots vote to pull out next month does this indicate that England, Wales and Ireland can no longer afford them? Mugabe, think again. Great Britain owes you an apology. It’s your move in your 90th Year. Make it worth while so that it works for the Nation’s loyalists who, against all odds, remained within Zimbabwe.
Couldn’t be written any better. Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept talking about this. I will forward this article to him. Pretty sure he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!
