A while back I came across some people who were actually being deported by the Home Office. They were an American couple running the only shop in a remote part of Scotland. Locals were up in arms about the nice couple being booted out.
I think of them when I see stories about some of the people who are allowed to stay in this country by our courts. The Ugandan murderer who clubbed a man to death in the back of an ambulance but was allowed to stay because of his mental health. The Pakistani paedophile was allowed to stay because his life would be at risk back home. The Jamaican murderer who can’t be deported because a rival criminal gang in his native country might harm him.
