I've seen many comments stating that jewellery will be taken off refugees as soon as they arrive in the UK to fund their stay as part of the policies. This is not true.
The policies are punitive/bad/misguided enough on their own and should be judged on what's confirmed without misinformation.

The judge really lets rip here, at length - the courts have clearly had enough of the Burkes.
He also ruled that criminal contempt proceedings should be taken against Mr Burke as well as his brother Isaac, sister Ammi and mother, Martina for their conduct in court hearings.

Kick everyone out and fix it. The longer the decision is delayed, the greater the risk of a fatal fire.
Ad hoc repairs cost around £2M a week. This 'delay, delay, delay' approach is not cheap.
