    They should operate a 1 strike policy - any violation of our laws (proven in a court of law) and you are on the next plane out of Heathrow. The safety of the many outweigh the rights of the individual, and I cannot see why this is so hard for the authorities to grasp.
    I agree 100%

    It’s not the Human Rights Act at fault. There are many abuses of the Act by Local and National Government that go unreported. The problem is again with the legal system that allows Judges and lawyers to interpret the Act and in fact extend the scope of the law for their own ends.

    The French are quite happy to imprison illegal emigrants and there are no repercussions about Human Rights.

    It is a bit like the way EU rules are interpreted in the UK to suit the jobs worth brigade. Eg. A market trader in the UK can’t sell in units of pounds but if I am in a German market they are happy to do so.

    The problem is with the English (and Scottish) legal system. There are firms of solicitors and barristers’ chambers specialising in these cases using Legal Aid Funding. What is needed is a simplified court system for emigration issues where the High Court is not include in the appeal process.The courts should have in-house lawyers appointed for the defence.

    In the USA, illegal emigrants can be imprisoned by the police without a court and sent back to their own county without a hearing.

    Well, assuming he was sentenced to be deported at the end of his prison term (whatever that was) he had all that time in prison to appeal against the deportation (since he knew it was going to happen). If he didn't appeal, or did appeal and lost, hard luck sonny, taxi to Heathrow it is.

    He should have been on the first flight out after leaving prison. No appeal, no questions asked, nothing. I'm not surprised he's getting compensation, how long does it take to drive someone to Heathrow and handcuff them to a seat in economy?
    exactly

    Rapist asylum seeker due damages

    A failed asylum seeker convicted of raping a 13-year-old girl is to be awarded damages after a judge ruled he was unlawfully detained in prison.

    The 31-year-old, known as "A" for legal reasons, was held for 20 months after serving his sentence while authorities tried to deport him to Somalia.

    A High Court judge ruled his detention became unlawful because of its length, and he was entitled to compensation.

    Human rights lawyers said he could get up to £50,000 from the Home Office.
