Illegal immigrant demands to be flown home because Britons are 'rude and unfriendly'

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."

Croydon Council says it has bent over backwards to help Tabet, who fled Algeria in 2002. "Mr Tabet was accommodated in Norbury Crescent, with Croydon Council paying his rent, council tax and utility bills.
"In July, his landlord gave him two months' notice to quit the premises, and the council offered him a flat in Anerley Road, which he refused citing its poor state of repair.
"The necessary repairs were carried out and he again refused it.
"He was told that refusal would amount to him making himself intentionally homeless and he would be placed in hostel-style accommodation. He agreed to this."
Mr Tabet is entitled to return to Algeria at his own expense and admits that he "does not like it here".
But he refuses to do so and says Britain will have to pay for his travel if it wants him to leave.
He moaned: "I miss Algeria. The English people are not helpful, they are so unfriendly and rude.
"I thought I had made friends in Croydon, but when I ask them for money they don't give me it, so I know they can't be my friends."
Mr Tabet fled Algeria in 2002 after being arrested for refusing to give up his home so the army could monitor terrorist activity in his town.
Released after 30 days' solitary confinement he fled to Britain, illegally entering the country on a flight from Tunisia, and sought asylum.
He now receives £32 a week in vouchers from Croydon Council to buy food with while he awaits deportation.
Unsatisfied at this, he griped: "Croydon Council only gives me food vouchers, they won't give me cash. I want the money.
"I have nothing to buy new clothes with, I have to go to a refugee centre. But if there's not anything nice there, you leave with nothing.
"I want the council to give me a bigger flat and money instead of vouchers."
Mr Tabet suffers from diabetes, a retina disease and kidney failure and believes he should be allowed to stay in the country so he can continue to get free NHS care.
He said: "The Home Office said I could afford the medicine back home, but I can't, I don't have a job."
The council insists he has no grounds for complaint. The spokesman explained: "He is supported by the council by way of vouchers, in accordance with the law."
Mr Tabet admits that since he was refused asylum he has "stayed and no one has said anything about it".
But a spokesman from the Border and Immigration Agency insisted he can expect to be deported. He said: "The period between an individual being refused asylum and their removal will vary from case to case depending on individual circumstances. He is being processed through our returning scheme.
"Individuals are free to apply for a new passport and return voluntarily at any time. It's a case of if he wants to returnj on his dollar or ours".
 
So put his ungrateful butt in Detention until travel can be arranged. He's already living off the citizens of the UK anyway.

" Heres yer cell. Enjoy."
 
Of course - we should be delighted to pay his way out - we already offer £3000 to those who would leave. And we have thousands who have been turned down as unacceptable but who just stick and are left free to roam and disappear.
 
Unfortunately this "Gimme" attitude is common in Africa. Certain tribes (not all) the men have this strange aversion to work. In their society its the women that do all the heavy lifting they just do nothing. Its part of their culture, but what they fail to realize that its not part of ours.

I worked at a boys camp in upstate NY as a junior counselor with a Senegalese. I was supposed to help him, but instead I literally did everything for the entire 9 weeks. I cleaned the cabin, puts the boys to bed, met the parents, wrote the reports, meanwhile all he would do is sleep the entire day, show up at meals, play soccer, and collect his check, and go out on the town. At the end, he tried to invite himself to my parents house for a 'visit'.

I have nothing against Africans but I never want to work with them again.

mmarsh, well put and I agree. It's parallel to stories I've heard and some experiences I've had as well. African women do all the work...
All they're good for is pleading for help in front of cameras it seems.
 
If he managed to get into England illegally, I'm sure he can find his way out the same way. Why should English tax payers finance his trip home?
 
I know that it sounds petty to be complaining about one guy - but this is not the case. This type of situation is a widespread and expanding problem. On top of that is the fact that many are dangerously hostile. I would warn any country that these are foolhardy imports.

I don't think anyone thinks it's petty to complain about that illegal because where one is, there is BOUND to be more. If this guy actually gets what he's wanting then the others are going to be hording around for handouts too. It's good to try and have people open their eyes to what is happening around them.

Good article/post Del Boy.
 
He would have the right to remain silent. But the authorities see to it that he has more. I swear, it's easier to immigrate illegally than legally!
 
We have another example of our impotence through lack of will. We have a Polish burglar wanted for crime in Poland, but we won't send him back because he is scared of flying. Apparently it is not permissable to send him by land under guard. Nice.

(BTW - I have no argument with good Polish immigrants, welcome as far as I am concerned, a benefit I believe.)

Deport them on a convict ship to Sydney I say. Won't belong before we transform them into Members of the New South Wales Parliament.
 
There's a perfect way to deal with this jerk ... load him on a convict bus, take him to the border, kick his arse off the bus and escort him across the border with an admoniotion that if he illegaly enters the country again, he will go to a prison in one of Englands more dismal prisons, where he will spend his entire sentence in solitary confinement (23 hours in lock-down and 1 hour by himself in the isolation courtyard).

This outcast from a refuse pile was NOT invited and he entered the country illegaly ... England owes him nothing except a one way ride to the border ... they sure don't owe him a free return ticket to his home nor do they owe him a life of luxury on the dole at tax payer expense.
