The Daily Heil newspaper has launched a stinging attack on UK immigration authorities after they agreed to grant strigiformic winger Andrei Arshavin a work permit for his job on Arsenal’s right wing. An official statement by Immigration UK said they had licensed Mr Arshavin’s arrival on the basis of “owlish good looks and a rare eye for goal”.
Deputy Editor Adolf Powell, who took time out from savaging the Human Rights Act 1998 to join the protest, told UpForGrabsNow he was “appalled” at the decision, and that he felt sure it had been motivated by “political correctness gone mad, yet again”.
He added that he believed Arsenal’s midfield was being overrun by migrant workers, and offered the example of Emmanuel Eboue, a 25 year-old man from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, who Powell claims has been spotted acting suspiciously in and around Arsenal’s midfield for some months. Powell described Eboue as “a hopeless layabout“.
He suggested that at a time of rising unemployment Arsenal would have been better to sign a home-grown talent such as Pascal Chimbonda instead.
When he was informed that Arshavin, like Powell, intends to work on the right wing, Powell replied: “I’m not sure about that to be honest. Us right-wingers don’t usually involve ourselves with his sort.”
Asked whether he was a supporter of Tottenham Hotspur, alleged ”FC”, Powell declined to comment.
