Britain may have stumbled on the secret to deterring illegal immigration:

An illegal immigrant has demanded to be flown home after saying he was fed up with British people – because they are “rude and unfriendly”.
Speaking today, Mokhtar Tabet, 30 – who has been given a home, food and free travel around London – claims his local council has breached his human rights by moving him to a place he does not like.
He was refused asylum in 2004 and is set to be deported.
He said: “The council evicted me from my home in September and moved me to Streatham, which I don’t like.
“The new place is small, and the kitchen closes at 9pm, so I can’t have anything to eat late at night. They have taken away my human rights.”

(*Streatham is not the liveliest London suburb. The headline is a reference to an old joke. Eric Maschwitz, inquiring how his film Goodnight, Vienna was doing during a run in Streatham, was told, “About as well as Goodnight, Streatham would do in Vienna.)

In other Daily Mail immigration news:

A British woman planning to start a new life with her husband in New Zealand has been banned from entering the country – because she is too fat.

The argument here is the usual one that, because of the costs to the taxpayer, a socialized health care regime has the right tor regulate your lifestyle in all particulars. There is nothing that is not potentially the government’s business.
