Are you pleased Boris is going ahead with this or should leniency be shown?
Apparently only 20 were on the flight to Kingston as the remaining 30 stayed on a technicality of them not being able to get proper legal representation on their mobiles due to an 02 mast not working

Thoughts please

And he's had the courage to get Brexit done. Maybe sent to the HoL in 15 years time ?

I've thought about this quite a lot. In the end it came down to --- they are criminals, they broke the law in which they were raised and which they understood. So, I have no problem about legally deporting them.

Yes, they should be deported.

Found this, albeit from 2014, but nice to see deportations are still alive and well in 2020.

to borrow Sammy Cochrane, (twisted), "If the crime fits, the immigrant should quit."

It might have a deterrent effect on other would be criminals.

Walumba Lumba (DRC) v Sec of State for the Home Dept

the five line summary says Magna Carta 1215 and Statue of something else 1354 are referred to BUT i cant find where and it is a long read

[david small]

Kick em out. We don't want or need thier ilk.

[retrocop]

These are two of the 'assets to the diversity melting pot' who escaped the deportation. It makes me want to weep.

Watched with *disgust* how Yasmin Alibhai -Brown defended these people yesterday , it was put to her that some had raped, even murdered and still she kept bringing in Windrush to justify her wanting them to stay here !

High time we got rid of do-gooders and the Human Rights Act, which helps the perpetrators far more than the victims, or at least it needs a damn good overhaul !!!
