/// He was given asylum in Britain, claiming he could not return to Sudan ///

/// Up until then, his journey had involved travelling for a month to Egypt, then Libya before crossing the sea to Italy, a previous hearing was told. He then made his way to France and Calais. ///

Seems a Snazzy dresser, I wonder how much that outfit cost the British taxpayer?

we should send him back to France and they should send him back to Italy. The only useful law in the EU.

[Hopkirk]

I don't suppose France would accept him.

[ToraToraTora]

EU law is clear on that.

[Hopkirk]

We are talking about the French here, Tora.

Instead of starting a prosecution for a Victorian offence so obscure most haven't heard of it he should have just been turned around when he unlawfully entered the UK and returned to France - the only place from which he could possibly have come.
This prosecution cost us many pounds in costs and Legal Aid for a ludicrous outcome and allowed this illegal more time for him, and probably, his human rights, ambulance chasing scummy lawyers to invent reasons for him to stay.

Why should France take him? There is no reason why he should be sent back there. Suppose an asylum seeker pitched up in Iceland having travelled through the UK to get there? I doubt if we'd be too keen to have him here. We'd say to Iceland: "He's in Iceland and he's not a UK citizen. Sort it out yourselves".
If he needs to go back anywhere, it's to the country he came from.

And our judges are as weak as a thrice used tea bag.

//There is no reason why he should be sent back there [France]//

How about Sudan then?

[ichkeria]

That is exactly what I advised!

[DTCwordfan]

He'll claim that he is a political refugee......

[naomi24]

ichkeria, You did. Sorry, missed it. Multi-tasking - or attempting to.

[Old_Geezer]

When he turns up in France, having been sent packing, what are they going to do to reject him that we couldn't beforehand ? On rejection they should be returned from whence they came. A sort of last from, first back system.

[Dodger666]

He will be using the Human Rights Act next asking for his family to come here as he has a right to a family life.

[TTG]

Has his 10,000 relatives applied for asylum yet?

[anotheoldgit]

Put him back in the tunnel and follow him with a slow moving train, then watch him run back from whence he came.

[fiction-factory]

...but wouldn't France then just send him back to us, AOG? Maybe that's the answer - just leave them in wandering up and down the tunnel

" is a man who had no formal education. He speaks in a localised dialect and understanding the complexities has caused significant difficulties."

Quite the catch then. I wonder if he passed any engineers, doctors and other professionals that we so desperately need during his intrepid long walk to freedom.
Somebody needs to grow a pair, put him and his fellow illegals in handcuffs and return them whence they came.

[anotheoldgit]

Perhaps another answer would be to drop him behind enemy lines by parachute?
