Why weren't they deported

[brionon]

Three men sentenced to Life for Crimes of extreme violence are to be deported at the end of their sentences. They have 36 previous convictions !!! Why weren't they deported long ago ?

[Lonnie]

The wording in the article I read on this, was 'Recommended for deporting' once they'd served their sentence, so the likelihood is that they'll stay.
But I do agree with your sentiments, they should have been deported a long time ago.

[flip-flop]

Because our increasingly wet liberal hand wringing appeasers in power don't want to be seen to breaching their 'uman rights.

What would be the point of deporting people if they came back a week or so later? They may not even serve any form of punishment back home. Would be fine if each country had a recriprocal agreement to send each countries nationals back to their home country and serve the passed sentence there.

Probably would be a violation of human rights knowing our ruddy country. We'd have to ask them to step onto a boat, instead of them being cuffed and thrown aboard it.

And yes, they'd probably be let back in a couple of weeks later.

In all honesty, my view is that any foreigner who breaks the law here (and no, I am not talking parking fines!) should be sent back to the country of his / her origine, regardless of how they might be treated there. I lived in Germany for 28 years and in France for 4 and always respected the traditions and cultures of the country I was in, never would have even thought of breaking any of their laws. We are far too soft on those who come here and disrespect our laws and ways. I also think we should curtail the number of people entering this country, just like so many others do, i.e. the US, Switzerland etc.. It has to be recognised that as much as foreigners can be wonderful people to have living amongs us and working with us, this is a small and beautiful country and realistically its government should be limiting the entry numbers so that the country does not lose its identity. I know it is late in the day, but this situation still can be rememdied to some degree.

carakeel, here here, you took the words out of my mouth. We Brits are too soft on this, too many do gooders! Wake up for gods sake, we are a small island with enough people living here already. Some of these asylum seekers, immigrants etc, cross many countries and continents to get to the UK, why? because we are a soft touch! By the way I am married to a non British woman and went through all of the right channels to get her into the country which took months and months! We both work full time, she's up at 4 six mornings a week where as most of these people just sponge off the state!
