"You snooze, you lose..."

Asking sensible questions like that won't help....

The Home Office has struggled with organisation and systems approaches for some time. It appears to feel constantly overwhelmed and fire fighting, rather than actually "doing".

Asylum claim used to equal grant of ILR. Changed by the Blair govt to 5 years then application for ILR (rare for this not to be granted, unless criminal convictions). How active the reconsideration would be after 2.5 years - unknown.

The UK has this, too. We won't extradite to a country which has the death penalty without an assurance that it won't be applied in that particular case. Including to the USA.

If you can exclude men, you can exclude trans women. Because they are men, not women, under the EqA.

Yes. In the same way as if I'm thrown out of an event for being Muslim. I'm not Muslim, but if I'm thrown out of it on the mistaken basis that I am, it's discrimination on the grounds of religion.

A couple might share a car, I agree. Or a holiday. Sharing a child sounds a bit judgment of Solomon?
