/// Bazomba entered Britain illegally from Angola in 2001 to try and claim asylum. ///

And he is still here?????????????????????????

/// Figures released to Parliament show that 1,230 offenders have overturned their deportation since 2008, including three child rapists, three murderers, 13 rapists and a terrorist. More than 85 per cent of them claimed deportation would breach their right to a family life. ///

But then his is not an isolated case, by any stretch of the imagination.

The Australian's right to a family life will ensure he never see a deportation order.

I'd quite like to see these cast off on a boat with no oars.

Someone was arguing that the triumphal announcement of deporting Trenton Oldfield was about establishing Theresa May's credentials for the leadership. I think she should focus more on cases like this one.

Have you ever actually read this section of the Human Rights act?

It has specific exclusions

You don't have the right to a familly life if it's necessary to protect others.....





Article 8: Right to Respect for Private and Family Life
1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.

2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.

It is frustratingly ridiculous. Doesn't sound as though his children have much of a "family life" anyway.

[Octavius]

His 3 children (aged 14 - 19) have all forgiven him and want to move back in with him. It was partly their testimony that led to the rejection of the deportaiton order.

So as the Judge said in the smaller print below all the politicians showboating higher up the article

//the judge ruled he should be allowed to stay in the UK because the relationship has since improved.//

This isn't so much a story but a piece of PR from the right wing of the Tory party.


The HRA says clearly that familly life is not a valid excuse if it's needed to prevent disorder crime or to protect the rights of others


What's your problem with that?

we've all gotten 'rights',it's wiether other respect them

[FredPuli43]

The case is superficially attractive as a headline; man kicks children and claims right to stay with them; but not really so when you read the quote from the judgment.

We didn't deport before the Human Rights Act, if it was not thought just to do so. All the HRA does is give the elements in such a decision specific headings.
