  Frankly, this treatment is repulsive. All presumably to seek tough on crime, we take people’s rights away and expose them to inhumane treatment.

  A Home Office spokesperson said: “The public rightly expect to be protected from sex offenders and this individual has already been deported.

  Office has declined to say how much it has cost to remove Omar, a conservative estimate suggests a bill to the UK taxpayer of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

  Was it worth it?
