Are you pleased Boris is going ahead with this or should leniency be shown?
Apparently only 20 were on the flight to Kingston as the remaining 30 stayed on a technicality of them not being able to get proper legal representation on their mobiles due to an 02 mast not working

Thoughts please

* deportation *

[emmie]

i am not sure about this, many seemingly have not lived in Jamaica for years, and have family ties here, wives, children.

[waterboatman]

Break the law. Pay the price.

[emmie]

my other head says deport them and take the families with them, but in all honesty i am torn over this

[emmie]

A Home Office spokesman said: "We make no apology for trying to protect the public from serious, violent and persistent foreign national offenders.

[waterboatman]

I'm not.

I'm glad it has gone ahead, and once the 'technicality' has been sorted, I hope the remaining people are deported as well.

The Government is merely following the law.

These are not UK citizens, and their crimes are considered serious enough for the deportation criteria under the current law to have been triggered.

Has anybody heard the Lammy speech? The man is a prat. To all intents and purposes he was accusing the UK of being racist over the deportation.

I listened to LBC last night and it was said rapists were among the 50 people, they’d done their time in prison and nor reoffended ( allegedly )
I’m not really sure one way or another,there must be some serious offenders to have to split them from families here ?

[waterboatman]

I agree with the home office spokesman. They shouldn't be allowed to stay here.

[Bobbisox1]

Yes DD I have, just waiting of Diane Abbot saying the same

[emmie]

seems like the government is trying to get tough, perhaps they can do the same with these Asian grooming gangs, though of course some were born here.......

[waterboatman]

That shouldn't stop them being kicked out emmie.

[Bobbisox1]

I’d like to think so Emmie

[Jackdaw33]

How refreshing at last to have a PM and government which puts the welfare of its citizens

[Jackdaw33]

...above all other concerns.

[Bobbisox1]

He’s keeping his word JD which is very refreshing after all the broken promises and dithering by Messrs Cameron and May

[emmie]

as you said not all were sent, some are obviously going to appeal the decision.

[waterboatman]

I'm going to make a move and get out and back while the sun is shining.
Have a happy day everyone.

[emmie]

bye boaty see you later..

Sun? Sun? Wot sun?
Bye Boaty x
