It’s a great time to be alive in Britain…if you’re an asylum seeker or foreign criminal

IT’S a great time to be alive – if you’re an asylum seeker or foreign criminal. Never have the chances of you being booted out of the country been lower. Never have the chances of getting your hands on our benefits been higher. This isn’t entirely Labour’s fault. Although they don’t seem to consider that the millions of illegal immigrants here is remotely shocking. Nigel Farage has said that there are more than half a million illegal migrants in London alone. But the ­Government is oblivious.

And it is not just the ­politicians. Consider the following stories, all of which happened here, in the UK, in one week. Bear in mind that these are the ones we KNOW about. They include examples of why migrants who have been convicted of crimes have been allowed to stay in this country. I wish I could tell you I’ve made them all up. But I haven’t. Surreal as they undoubtedly are, they are also absolutely true.

First up, there’s the Pakistani bloke convicted of sexual assault on barely pubescent girls. He got 18 months in prison and then we decided to deport him. But a tribunal ruled that we couldn’t, because his ­Pakistani relatives might “take a dim view” of his misdemeanours and be nasty to him. Nope, not kidding. Then there’s the Albanian criminal who has been given leave to remain in the UK in part because his son, who has sensory issues and emotional difficulties, likes the chicken nuggets they do here.

His lad is a bit temperamental. He knows what he likes. In each case the sensitivities of the criminal are afforded more weight than the rights of British people not to have to suffer yet more criminals in our country. Have you ever tried an Albanian chicken nugget? Well, there you are, then. Then there’s Lynthia ­Calliste, a woman from ­Grenada who arrived on a six-month visa. That was in 2018. We’ve at last got around to chucking her out.

But she is challenging her deportation under Article Eight of the European ­Convention of Human Rights. She has married a ­Latvian bloke. And she says that he wouldn’t enjoy the cuisine in the ­Caribbean. And also that the weather there would be too hot for him. And here’s the thing. I bet she wins the appeal. Now, each of those cases seem ludicrous. In each case the sensitivities of the criminal are afforded more weight than the rights of British people not to have to suffer yet more criminals in our country.

Some people blame the aforementioned European Convention on Human Rights. And sure, it is outdated and needs to be rewritten from start to finish. Or we should pull out of it. Some blame the European Court of Human Rights and, sure, we should get free from that too. The weaselly lawyers make their cases and the judges smile and agree. But I do not believe either intended for the law to be interpreted the way it has been in those cases I’ve mentioned.

So while this international legislation isn’t especially helpful, it is not the chief cause of the problem. The main cause is the individual judges who preside over these cases. Often anonymous, they seem to make it a point of pride to refuse the deportation of almost everybody who comes before them. The weaselly lawyers make their cases and the judges smile and agree. The only way to stop this is to weed out the badduns.

Sack them. Bin them. If they are seen to have ­interpreted the law in a ­particularly absurd manner, kick them out of their jobs. And perhaps, when training these overpaid drongos, make it clear that in each case a balance is to be struck between the rights of the individual and the rights of the rest of us. And if the migrant is guilty of a serious crime, he forfeits his rights immediately. THE Danes have tried multi-culturalism – and they’ve given up. Now they are busy trying to break down the slums of immigrants in Copenhagen.

And forcing them to assimilate with everyone else in the country. Of course people are telling them it is “racist”. And the God-awful EU might try to stop them. But in the end, every country in Europe – even the ultra-liberal Danes – ends up letting in so many migrants. And allowing them to fester in ­ghettos. THE Labour MP Andrew Gwynne has been sacked from his ministerial post. AND suspended from the Labour Party.

That’s because he said one or two naughty things about some of his constituents. But he said them on a private WhatsApp group. To friends. And he was very clearly joking. Now a whole other bunch of other Labour people are being investigated. For being in the same WhatsApp group and saying naughty things. Are these people not allowed privacy anywhere? Are they not allowed to make jokes and speak their minds in private?.

What happened to this being a free country?. IT will be interesting to see what happens in Gaza on Saturday morning. That’s the deadline for Hamas to hand over the remaining hostages. Otherwise, as Benjamin Netanyahu puts it, “all hell will break loose.” And he has the USA’s backing. One way or another, I think we will be seeing the end of Hamas in the next few months, perhaps weeks. That may not mean peace in the Middle East. But it will be a giant step towards it.
