More of “Human Rights gone mad”

Another week, another case showing the ridiculous state of English law when it comes to some aspects of Human Rights and yes, you guessed it, the culprit is Article 8 again (right to family life)

A convicted fraudster from Nigeria who entered the UK illegally initially (and was allowed to stay indefinitely due to an amnesty) is appealing a deportation order against him because he has a son in this country. He claims that deporting him breaches his and his son’s right to a family life even though he has been in prison for much of his son’s life and the son goes to school 12 miles away.

This is yet another example of liberal politics gone mad, let alone the cost to the taxpayer of these cases which just keep coming.

We obviously understand the needs of the child but a commonsense approach to this issue must surely lead to the conclusion that this person is “taking the piss” for want of a better expression.

We will shortly be running a poll on these sorts of cases, so please check back as we will start collecting data on what the British public really think about these issues. Without prejudging, we have an inkling of what most of you might say !
