IF THESE POOR CLEANERS WERE AS RICH AS LAKSHI MITTAL OR ROMAN ABRAMOVICH, THEY WOULDN'T BE GETTING DEPORTED. "ASYLUM SEEKERS" LIKE ABRAMOVICH AND MITTAL WEREN'T FLEEING PERSECUTION LIKE THE SOAS 9, BUT CAME HERE TO AVOID PAYING TAX ON THEIR OBSCENE WEALTH. SHAME ON NOUVEAU LABOUR. SHAME ON THE IMMIGRATION DEPT. SHAME ON THE UK GOVT. SHAME ON SOAS MANAGERS. SOLIDARITY WITH WORKING CLASS PEOPLE WORLDWIDE. THEY ARE G8 WE ARE 6.5 BILLION. OUR DAY WILL COME.

Perhaps the students, (you?), occuping the offices would be better served in class. If you so detest the 'rules' as they are, become educated in the legal means of changing them. Consider there are reasons why every country has 'rules' to control immigration. Perhaps you could spend more time studying the history and causes for those 'rules', and their long term effects for your country.
ReplyDeleteDemonstrations and occupations cause nothing more than an inconveniance to your university, and highlight the lack of maturity of those participating.
Please note I have used the term, "rules", throught this note.
'Rules' are for children and those who lack understanding.
'Laws' are for those who have the maturity to understand the purpose for Laws. Generaly those who have shown they are willing and able citizens of the nations in which they reside.
