    He said “the very significant public interest in deportation outweighs the appellant’s private and family life considerations.”

    Deporting long-time immigrants for non-repeat offenses falsely implies that they are more likely to reoffend than British citizens. By giving disproportionate attention to such cases, more people end up voting Reform in the false belief that immigrants commit more crimes than average.

      By design. They’ve gotten very good at manufacturing consent.

      Bro murdered a cyclist and should just rot in prison for a life sentence not be sent to a country he has no home or livelihood in, even if that’s quite a fucked up and cruel punishment. Letting him off easy because killing people in a car is considered less bad than stabbing someone you find annoying in front of you on a public right of way.

    They should just make cars illegal.
