Court Rules Only Ground To Challenge Naturalisation Refusals Is Irrationality

Justice Mostyn ruled that challenges to the Home Secretary’s decision to refuse citizenship naturalisation applications can only be brought on grounds of irrationality.

[transmutationisms]

You’ve introduced me to so many topics in theory but there are days when I have no idea what you’re talking about and i twirl my hair and kick my feet while I’m lying on my bed and giggle like omg tell me more

hi megan <3 this is fair also sometimes i am truly talking out my ass and making zero effort to make a thought comprehensible to anyone else lol but i remember you've read some of the 'speculative materialists' so you would probably get a kick out of this:

basically i was mostly just drafting a paragraph explaining how the french 'idéologues' in the 1790s-1810s conceived of sense perception and access to external phenomena, and i used kant as a compare/contrast because he's an easy reference point on this topic/time period:

Idéologie itself was never a singular scientific method, but described a loose methodological family (often referred to by ‘Idéologues,’ such as Cabanis, as analysis) that aimed to uncover the deeper truths and universal laws that structured phenomenal observations. It was this quality that led the historian of medicine George Rosen to describe idéologie as a meeting point of empiricism and the “passive psychology” of Étienne Bonnot de Condillac (1714–1780). For Condillac and his followers, including Cabanis, all ideas of the human mind had their origin in sensations—that is, in the impressions made by external objects upon the sensory organs. Thus, an idea could always be broken down to its component sensations, which could be traced back to their external sources. There were no human ideas or mental faculties that did not ultimately take their source from sensory impressions; human understanding could be studied, corrected, and eventually refashioned by careful application of the ‘analytical’ method. Whereas Kant, whose first Critique was published in 1781, defended a distinction between a priori and a posteriori judgments, the Idéologues considered even an inherited tendency or instinct to be ultimately and strictly a product of sensation. If Kantian transcendental idealism dictated that human observation could never directly access the external phenomena in-themselves, idéologie instead embraced the naïve realist position that the external objects could truly be known and described—but only by precise analysis of their noumenal representations.

and then i was like well condillac died in 1780 and cabanis's most famous treatise was published in 1802 so basically the timing lines up really well for this comparison to kant, and what you would need to do is derive these different attitudes toward things-in-themselves from the political-economic contexts that they're embedded in & patterned on. which would be extremely easy to do on the french side because cabanis was 1) a politician and 2) explicitly openly concerned about the health of the workforce as a means of ensuring the continued production of french national wealth, such that my argument about him is essentially that we should be reading him as espousing proto eugenic positions and as verbalising much of the biopolitical remit of the revolutionary and postrevolutionary french state. like essentially, analogous to the way that c. darwin 'found' capitalist competition in nature, you would say something like, cabanis 'found' (naturalised) the need for management and alteration of the labourer's body & physiology in his medico-philosophical treatises.

anyway i would need to brush up on kant biography stuff but given his interest in physical anthropology and specifically his racial essentialism, it would be easy also to argue that his 'correlationist' thinking derived from how he patterned psychology on a teleological racial-hierarchical view of human biology. which is in turn ofc an economic and political argument. so what i would want to prove here is that both these positions, while seemingly disparate, are ultimately just different bourgeois ideologies & follow superstructurally from the material alienation of capitalist labour relations etc etc. i would do this more elegantly and thoroughly in an actual article but this is tumblr.dashboard :-)

Swedish border guards will be given the power to search migrants’ smartphones to look for evidence of destroyed passports under a new law backed by the country’s Right-wing coalition government.

The law comes as part of a wider push to speed up deportations of failed asylum seekers to drive down migrant numbers amid fears they are being recruited by Sweden’s organised crime gangs.

Officials believe migrants entering Sweden may have used their phones to take photos or make digital copies of their passports and other documents before destroying them on arrival at airports.

Swedish officials said identifying migrants was vital if the person was to be deported after a failed claim.

‘They might keep a copy’ 

“Next week, we are going to receive a government inquiry on increasing the possibilities for the police to look into iPhones to find the documents that have been scanned there,” Anders Hall, state secretary for the ministry of justice, told The Telegraph.

“When you tear up your passport, you might keep a copy or a photo in your phone because sooner or later you might need it. This will give the legal basis to make it possible to look for them.”

The government expects the law to enter into force in 2025-26 after a consultation period.

Sweden now says there are more emigrants than immigrants for the first time in 50 years after toughening asylum rules since Ulf Kristersson took power as prime minister in 2022.

His conservative coalition is propped up by the hard-Right Sweden Democrats, which was partly founded by Nazi sympathisers and remains formally outside of government despite coming second in a 2022 election dominated by fears over migration and crime.

“We signed up for a very detailed agreement, both in terms of law enforcement and migration,” Mr Hall said.

“The Sweden Democrats have more or less full insight into what we are doing. We are constantly having meetings with them, telling them where we are implementing.”

He pointed out that despite the uproar over the cooperation with the Sweden Democrats, the opposition Social Democrats had not voted against a single migration measure brought forward by the government.

“There was much ado about nothing,” he said before adding that the Sweden Democrats were being encouraged to be more responsible through their brushes with government.

Mr Hall was in London this week to brief UK government officials on Sweden’s crackdown.

Other measures include boosting voluntary repatriation, as well as deportations.

Naturalised citizens and families of migrants could be offered money to leave the country as part of a voluntary return scheme that already offers refugees about £720 and travel costs.

As a rule, asylum seekers should live in reception centres or return centres rather than private housing. 

The government has also introduced rules making it possible to strip serious criminals or terrorists with dual nationalities of their Swedish nationality.

Accepted refugees are also no longer granted permanent residence as a matter of course. Instead, their claim is reviewed every three years.

Sweden is among EU member states calling for tougher rules to make deporting failed asylum seekers easier.

Increasing numbers of claims are being made by migrants arriving in the bloc legally in airports before destroying their papers.

In 2015, 13 per cent of all asylum claims in the EU were made in Sweden but that was down to 2 per cent in 2023. In 2023, Sweden received 12,600 asylum applications, which is lower than in 2020, and is expected to be the lowest since 1997.

you know what it's time for some freud

-

"-scored passably on the simulations. Combined with their positive employee appraisal reports, I think that Castor Jones should be accepted as the Vesper's deputy assault pilot."

Freud eyed the projector screen doubtfully, his hands idly twisting the Rubix cube in his hands. It clck-clck-clck'd obnoxiously loud, but no one in the meeting - himself, Snail or their 'supervisor' (a high-ranking executive that did nothing but collect a paycheck) - complained about it, although he could see Snail's cheek had developed some kind of spastic twitch in the last five minutes.

"Castor Jones excelled over the majority, but he's not suitable as a deputy assault pilot," Snail drawled, somehow managing to hit the sweet spot of sounding respectful while also silently implying 'you fucking donkey'. "He floundered during the more fast-paced scenarios."

"He's the fourth son of one of the board directors," the nameless suit countered. Freud looked away from the projector screen, already knowing Snail was going to win the argument. "He's young and wants to spend a year or two in an official AC squad before settling in his role as department head of Schneider R&D. We can tolerate him for that long. In exchange, his father's promised to vouch for us when it comes to the budget reallocation this coming spring."

"In case you've forgotten, Arquebus leadership have declared their intent for a Rubicon expedition in the near future. I'm not willing to bring an untested, unblooded pilot into that mess when their death would mean my censure - and yours, as the one vouching for them."

One-hit KO. The nameless suit made an awkward, stammering noise, before conceding the point.

"Alright, that's a fair point... then we can discard the applicants with... inconvenient links, then."

Freud finished solving the cube by the time the suit finished discarding said applicants. He tossed the plastic toy onto the table, where it clattered loudly, skidding across the polished surface to stop near Snail's elbow. His second-in-command ignored it.

"We're left with three..." the suit sighed. "All of them are naturalised citizens. One from Mars, one from the Kuiper belt space colony, and one from... Ganymede. Sort of."

Snail started to talk, but Freud's interest was snagged. "Sort of?"

"Er." The suit jolted. Freud rarely spoke to him, after all. "Yes. Well. In truth, his backstory is a little inconsistent, but his naturalisation process was due to being sponsored by a high-ranking executive in Schneider. Unfortunately, we can't really question them on it, as that executive died a few months ago. A bad bout of food poisoning from ill-prepared pufferfish..."

Convenient, Freud thought. His gaze drifted to the projector screen when the suit obligingly brought up the applicant's profile.

A mugshot of a handsome young man was shown, with a face that was set neutrally, though Freud could see echoes of a frown wanting to settle on the hard line of his mouth. Yet the most remarkable thing in the photo were his eyes: they were an eerie and unnatural shade of vivid scarlet.

"His parents were Rubiconians," the suit said. "That's why his eyes are like that. Something about the trace Coral in their bodies... I don't really get the science behind it. He's not an Old Gen."

"Is he augmented?" Snail drawled. "We won't accept him if he's below Gen Seven."

"Gen Eight. His augmentation certificates passed muster, though they were likely done on the black market."

"Hm." Snail didn't seem bothered about this. "Then he has no corporate debt hanging over him, though he may be indebted to whoever did his augmentations..."

"No debts. His financial records show no out-going payments that flag as suspicious. It's likely he paid upfront to whoever did them."

"Freud?" Snail asked.

"He was the one who used the Nachtreiher frame in the simulations, wasn't he?" Freud remarked, skimming the rest of the information on the profile. Age and birthplace, he didn't care about - the simulation results, yes. He had watched a few, and the Nachtreiher pilot had stood out. The one called- "STEEL HAZE, right? He was decent."

"That's right. He's a tester AC pilot for Schneider, so used one of their frames for the application. He's currently part of the Lammergeier project..."

"You said before that his backstory was inconsistent," Snail interrupted. "What's the assessment on that?"

"It's possible he's an agent of some kind, but he hasn't exfiltrated any sensitive information from what we can tell," the suit said. "I ran it by O'Keeffe even, but he didn't find anything alarming. Says his family were involved in black market shenanigans in Tau Ceti, and that's what he's trying to conceal. Nothing too dangerous..."

No, that wasn't anything to be concerned about. A lot of people had links to Tau Ceti - in fact, majority of naturalised citizens outside of the solar system came from Tau Ceti. The black market planet held a very important place in the galactic ecosystem. So long as this applicant wasn't selling corporate secrets or information back to his mates on Tau Ceti, then he really did have nothing to worry about. Still, they'll let him think he was keeping that secret. People with things to hide tend to be less willing to put a toe out of line.

"I want to fight him," Freud decided.

Snail made a low, cut-off noise that all but oozed exasperation. "He's beneath you, Freud."

"If he's to be my deputy assault pilot, then I want an accurate measure of his skill," Freud argued. He pointed at the suit. "Arrange a time with him. I'll put him through his paces. If he passes muster, he's in."

"But- I mean- there're two others-"

"I don't care about them. I want-" he paused to glance at the name. "-Rusty? That's a dog's name, goddamn."

"Freud..." Snail looked like he was going to argue, but predictably he simply gave in. This was why Snail lasted as his second-in-command for so long: he was a quick learner in knowing when to stand his ground, and when to concede. "Fine. I suppose he is going to be your problem most of the time."

"What're you saying, Snail? He's going to be our problem."

"Erm." The suit coughed awkwardly. "I... well, I suppose I'll arrange a time later this week?"

"Yeah. Put it in my calendar and Snail will tell me," Freud said dismissively.

Snail's eyebrow twitched. "I'm not your secretary-"

"Yes you are."

The suit was looking increasingly uncomfortable as Snail pinned Freud down with a glare that threatened to flay the skin off his bones. Freud smiled prettily at him, mentally goading him: do it, come on, i know you want to punch me-

"...right. Meeting adjourned," Snail said, looking away from him, his cold, dismissive mask sliding into place. "We'll revisit this subject after Freud has finished mauling this hapless applicant to pieces."

Freud clicked his tongue but kept up the smile. His mood was buoyed. He was going to fight this mysterious applicant who had piloted that Nachtreiher like a dream... made sense if he was on the Lammergeier project... no armour on that Core... his evasion skills must be impressive. Well, Freud will find out.

"Right. Well, I'll send rejection notices to the ones we've decided were too inconvenient...?"

Freud stood up as Snail and the suit hashed out boring office bullshit, snatching up his cube and ambling out of the meeting room with a jaunty whistle.

Time to pester O'Keeffe about this 'Rusty'. That guy never stuck his neck out for anyone, so it'd be interesting to see what links he had with this random nobody from Ganymede...

[virmire]

wait sorry if this is too personal but how does that work? if you were born and raised in denmark how are you not a citizen?

no worries! denmark doesn’t have naturalisation by law which means that the only two ways of getting citizenship nowadays is by

a) having one parent who has danish citizenship

or b) fulfilling requirements such as having lived in the country for nine consecutive years (eight of those being legal) and you need to have been in full time employment or run your own business for 3 1/2 years out of 4 years. having a criminal record is not allowed. the only way to avoid the full time job requirement is if you’ve studied uninterrupted (so no sabbaticals). you must have had permanent residency for 2 years I think it is before you can apply for citizenship. you can’t be in debt. there are some other things too I think. but once you meet those requirements, THEN you can apply to take two tests (one if you’ve already been through the danish school system) which I don’t remember how much cost. the main one consists of 45 questions where you need to answer 36 correctly. if you pass those, THEN you can apply to become a citizen which costs 4000 DKK. the processing for that application takes over a year and if that gets approved, it’s then added to this law thingy that gets taken up in government and once that is done you have to meet up for a ceremony where you have to shake the official’s hand.

so while I do fulfil most of the requirements to apply for citizenship, I don’t fulfil the full time employment/interrupted studying part.

tl;dr: in order to get danish citizenship either have a danish parent or fulfil a bunch of requirements plus take a test and pay some money to become one

Since you decided to delete my comment here are the pillars of apartheid

The first pillar demarcates people into different groups – Jews and non-Jews. This is done through the Law of Return of 1950 (the same year that South Africa passed the Population Registration Act, for the same purpose). It defines who is a Jew and grants Jews all over the world the right to immigrate to Israel (or the OPT). In the occupied territories, unlike apartheid South Africa which transferred the citizenship of ’Africans’ to new fictitious political entities, Palestinians are deprived of any status.

The ‘Basic Law: Israel as the Nation-State of the Jewish People’ declares Israel to be a ‘Jewish state’ – despite more than 20 percent of its population not being Jewish. It also entrenches the idea, contrary to the understanding of all democracies, that there is a difference between citizenship and nationality. We cannot imagine a situation in which South Africa would have declared that White people from around the world had nationality in South Africa, while Black people (including those classified ‘Coloured’ and “Indian”) could be citizens but not nationals.

DISCRIMINATION IN EVERYDAY LIFE

In Israel, the discrimination includes a denial of full-welfare benefits, restrictions on what might be taught and learnt in schools, restriction on certain types of jobs being held by Palestinians. The 2003 Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law banning Palestinian family unification is another example of discriminatory legislation. In the OPT, Palestinians are denied the right to leave and return to their country, freedom of movement and residence, and access to land. This also applies to Palestinians of East Jerusalem, who have a separate status. The disparity in the treatment of the two groups is highlighted through the application of harsher laws and different courts for OPT Palestinians than for Jewish settlers, and through restrictions imposed by the permit and ID systems. The discrimination is also illustrated by the access to water in the OPT for Palestinians and Jewish settlers, with settlers being allocated the bulk of West Bank water, at a fraction of the price that Palestinians are charged.

The second pillar, in Israel, is bolstered by the Absentee Property Law, which ensured land theft on a grand scale. Today, land in Israel is divided into national lands – 93 percent of the land, and private lands – seven percent. National lands are comprised of state lands and JNF (Jewish National Fund) lands, and are for the exclusive use of Jews. Palestinians may only own land in the private land category. So, 20 percent of the population may only use seven percent of the land – and in that too, they compete with Jews for access.

And while Israel does not have a law similar to the South African Group Areas Act which forced different “racial” groups to live in their own areas, a number of Israeli court judgments have had the same effect, by preventing Palestinian families living in Jewish areas. Since there is no civil marriage in Israel (all marriages are religious), it is impossible for a Jew to marry a non-Jew. Israel’s Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law even prevent the spouses of its Palestinian citizens from being naturalised, forcing many Palestinian families to leave.

FRAGMENTATION OF THE OCCUPIED TERRITORIES

The second pillar in the OPT is reflected by Israel having fragmented the OPT for the purposes of segregation and domination. It includes Israel’s extensive theft of Palestinian land in various ways – including through the Apartheid Wall, thus shrinking the space available to Palestinians and forcing them into specific geographic fragments; the hermetic closure and isolation of Gaza; the severing of East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank; and appropriation and construction policies that have created a settlement infrastructure that carved up the West Bank into a network of connected settlements for Jewish-Israelis and besieged, non-contiguous Palestinian enclaves.

Israeli Jews are prohibited from entering those bantustans (as Whites were forbidden from entering African townships in South Africa), but enjoy freedom of movement throughout the rest of the Palestinian territory. South Africans find the idea of separate roads quite shocking; we never had roads for exclusive White use, and where blacks were excluded by force.

The third pillar on which Israel’s apartheid rests is its repressive “security” laws and machinery which bear little resemblance to South Africa. Sure, the extrajudicial killing (including on foreign territory), torture, administrative detention, etc. are similar to what we faced in South Africa. These policies are state-sanctioned, often approved by the Israeli judiciary, and supported by oppressive military laws and military courts. “Security” is effectively used to justify restrictions on Palestinian freedom of opinion, expression, assembly, association, and movement, and to suppress dissent and to control Palestinians. However, the deployment of Israel’s repressive machinery in the OPT is quite unfamiliar to South Africans. We never experienced, even in the worst days of apartheid, helicopter gunships and fighter jets flying over, or tanks patrolling, Black residential areas, bombing our homes and firing shells and missiles into our schools.

The Benefits of Irish Citizenship

Benefits of Irish Citizenship

Freedom of Movement: Irish citizens enjoy the right to live, work, and study in any EU/EEA country without the need for a visa, enhancing opportunities for personal and professional development.

Access to Public Services: Citizenship grants access to the Irish healthcare system and educational institutions, providing quality services at more favorable rates than those available to non-citizens.

Political Participation: Irish citizens have the right to vote in national and local elections, allowing them to contribute to the democratic process and influence the future of the country.

Employment Opportunities: Irish citizenship opens doors to a wider range of job opportunities, including positions in Irish civil service and multinational corporations where local citizenship may be preferred.

Security and Stability: Citizenship offers a sense of belonging and security. It provides protections under Irish law and the ability to establish roots within the community.

Eligibility for Irish Citizenship

To be eligible for Irish citizenship, applicants must meet specific criteria, which can vary based on individual circumstances. Common pathways include:

Naturalization: Applicants must generally have legally resided in Ireland for a certain period (usually five years, with some exemptions for spouses of Irish citizens) and demonstrate a commitment to residing in Ireland.

Descent: Individuals with one or more Irish grandparents may claim citizenship through descent, regardless of where they were born, provided they register in the Foreign Births Register.

Long-term Residency: Non-EU citizens who have held residency status and met the residency requirement can apply for citizenship after a designated period.

Marriage or Civil Partnership: Spouses of Irish citizens may apply for citizenship after three years of marriage and residing in Ireland for at least three of those years.

Application Process

Gather Required Documents: Applicants must collect various documents, including proof of identity, residency, and any supporting evidence related to their eligibility (e.g., marriage certificates, birth certificates).

Complete the Application Form: The appropriate forms (usually Form 8 for naturalization) must be accurately filled out, ensuring all required information is provided.

Submit the Application: Applications can typically be submitted online or by post to the Irish Naturalisation and Immigration Service (INIS), accompanied by the required fee, which may vary based on the application type.

Await Processing: The processing time for naturalization applications can take several months, during which the authorities may request further information or clarification.

Attend an Interview: In some cases, applicants may be called for an interview to discuss their application and intentions regarding residing in Ireland.

Receive a Decision: Once the application is reviewed, the INIS will issue a decision. Successful applicants will be invited to attend a citizenship ceremony, where they will take an oath of fidelity to the nation.

Apply for a Passport: After obtaining citizenship, new citizens can apply for an Irish passport, which serves as proof of their citizenship status and allows for easier international travel.

Acquiring Irish citizenship provides substantial benefits, especially for high-net-worth individuals seeking a stable, prosperous environment in Europe. GoldGro is committed to facilitating this journey, offering expert guidance throughout the eligibility and application process.

A woman in her 60s has been arrested for allegedly using an "array of wigs" and other disguises to pose as at least 14 other people to help them pass UK citizenship tests.

The 61-year-old, who has not been named, helped men and women "gain an unfair advantage" in the Life in the UK Test, the Home Office said.

She is accused of wearing various wigs and disguises to pass herself off as the true applicants, in an attempt to dishonestly obtain them leave to remain in the UK.

Anyone seeking to stay in the country indefinitely or naturalisation as a British citizen must take the test.

She was arrested at an address in Enfield, north London on Monday where "several false documents and an array of wigs alleged to have been used in the fraudulent scheme" were seized.

It is alleged that between June 2022 and August the following year, the woman went to multiple UK test centres, disguising herself and doctoring ID documents to evade detection.

Fraudsters completing the test for others could "lead to people wrongly being granted the right to remain in the country without the proper due diligence", the Home Office said.

Immigration enforcement criminal and financial investigation inspector Phillip Parr said a "complex investigation" had "put a stop to this dangerous scheme".

"This individual is believed to have orchestrated a pre-meditated plan to avoid detection, meticulously selecting disguises and test centre locations across the country to evade the authorities.

"As with many criminals who commit this type of crime, we believe her motive was financial gain," he said.

The Home Office said the woman remains in custody.

The Life in the UK Test consists of 24 questions aimed at "proving the applicant has sufficient knowledge of British values, history, and society", the Home Office said.
