EVER WONDERED WHAT IS THE HEIGHT OF NONSENSE?
Sunday, January 11, 2009 at 11:04AM 
7FT 2 Inches to be precise!
One of the world's tallest women, who claimed asylum in the UK on the grounds that her height made her a target of abuse in her home country, has had her application rejected. She previously told officials she would be persecuted for being a lesbian if she returned to Pakistan. But 7ft 2in tall Pakistani Zainab Bibi, 35, who lived in a council house in Stockport, Cheshire, until recently and claims £40 a week in benefits, will still be allowed to stay in the country because the Home Office is considering further claims from her lawyers. It will be the third application to stay here since she first arrived in 2006.
In the meantime, we pay for her lawyers, we pay for her benefits and we see the absolute stupidity of the Home Office! Like so many others, she is laughing at the impotency of our immigration law.

What a tall story she tells! True since independence from Britain in 1947, Pakistan has hardly been the most stable of nations . Alternating between "Democracy" and military rule. I dont think this obliges us to take in every Pakistani over 7ft who is upset by name calling. Why i wonder as if we didnt know , has she flown hundreds of miles to reside here in the UK? Why not travel to her neighbouring country India, the worlds largest democracy , where 150 million Muslims live ? Surely any genuine asylum seeker would claim asylum in their nearest democratic state?
You guys could fianlly get the gold in women'sbasketball!

We are their nearest democratic state - or at least we were.
Probably something to do with our overly generous benefits and impotent immigration "services", or should that be "let them in" services. Then, of course, you have the Human Rights brigade, too.
It's all to do with the government's immigration policy-no not the bunch of criminals in Westminster (the regional government) but our REAL government in Brussels
