You still haven't learnt to copy and paste all or some of the story rather than just post a linky.

I prefer to post original and witty content. I may even achieve that one day...

Yeah, sorry about that. I was away this weekend. I've cleaned up most of it.

...we used to be able to deport our undesirables to Australia? Not any more, it seems. They've started sending them back.

A British man jailed for the "vicious murder" of a teenager in Australia has been deported back to the UK.
Christopher Clark Jones, 36, was convicted in 2007 of murdering Morgan Shepherd, 17, after a drunken argument at a home in Brisbane.

Jones, who moved to Australia from Tyneside as a child, stabbed his victim 113 times before playing with the teen's decapitated head.

He was granted parole 15 years into a life sentence.

In a trial that shocked Australia, a court heard the homeless teenager was attacked by Jones and a mutual friend, James Roughan.

The victim's body was found in a shallow grave in bushland north of Brisbane in April 2005.

Jones was released on parole earlier this month and was deported on a private jet chartered by the Australian Border Force (ABF), along with seven other males deported back to Britain.

Had Jones remained in Australia, he would have been on parole for life, which would have involved regular surveillance from police.

In the UK, however, he will be placed on an offenders register, according to Australian media reports.

With Jones having never applied for Australian citizenship, his visa was cancelled before his parole on character grounds by Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton.

Mine was at least 6 hours earlier than SueEllen's, but don't beat yourself up, her post was more professional than mine, so I let it lie...
