So they say they are going to send foreign rioters back from 'whence they came'.

Now I wonder how they intend to get permission from the EU Court of Human Rights?

If they can get rid of them, then how is it we still cannot get rid of all our existing foreign criminals?

There Is no such thing as the EU Court of Human Rights?
True, but it is all European authorities of one sort or another.
I'll believe it when I see it AOG.
I actually agree with this. If you are a guest in another country, and you riot and loot, then you do not deserve to stay. If it is a matter of cancelling a VISA then there is not an appeal process so the European Courts cannot get involved.
The headline: “England riots: foreign rioters will be deported”

Damien Green: “We strongly believe that foreign national lawbreakers should be removed from the UK at the earliest opportunity.”

Not quite the same.

If cancelling a visa results in a person’s Human Rights being infringed (the most popular right allegedly lost in these circumstances is usually under Article 8 – the right to a family life – as those persecuted usually have relatives here) then a case would almost certainly be launched under the 1998 Human Rights Act. In the unlikely event of this being unsuccessful an appeal to the ECHR would almost certainly follow as sure as night follows day.
I think they really ought to get tough and mean it. Deport foreign criminals immediately, we have our rights to a decent life. I'm fed up of all the kow towing to the EU. And I'm ashamed of Cameron and Clegg, it is all platitudes and talk......... no action.
Betcha any money none of them get sent home!!!
funnygirl, shame but i agree.
How many of the rioters were actually visiting Britain at the time? Do we know?
// More than 150 people born abroad have been arrested over the looting and arson attacks which brought misery to English cities. //
80% of blacks caused the riots...
97% of pakistanis protected the shops..
99% of whites swept up the mess..
[its only a joke].....

Yes, but being born abroad does not automatically make one a candidate for deportation of course.
They wont do it . They never do !
never will happen!....believe it when I see it!............
I wish that people would stop referring to the European Court of Human Rights as something to do with the EU. It's not!

The EHCR was set up by the Council of Europe, which was founded in 1949 (well before the EEC/EU was even thought of). Even if the EU had never existed, the UK would still be a signatory to the European Convention on Human Rights, along with 46 other countries.

Far from being 'un-British', the Council of Europe was largely a British idea, with Winston Churchill being a prime advocate of its formation.

As 'whence 'means 'from where' AOG's first sentence as written does not make much sense.
so he's erroneously written "from from where" they came.

I think I can get his meaning, Mike.
Sounds like AOG is becoming a liberal in his advancing years - though I would never see the day when gromit agreed with him...and most of us do at well.

/// There Is no such thing as the EU Court of Human Rights? ///

So sorry for inadvertently adding the letter 'U' to the 'European Court of Human Rights'.

It seems I must also apologise to mike11111 for adding another 'from' before the word whence.

Seems to me the rule is "if you agree with what AOG says, then try and look for mistakes in what he puts".

We should have a 'naughty step' on AnswerBank, where all those that dare to make any mistakes go.

No on second thoughts that wouldn't work, because one would need a flight of steps such as those up to the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, even then they would be crowded.
Touche, or rather, touchy.
