The most telling comment is from our new Home Secretary, Theresa May: "Protecting the public is the Government's top priority.
"We are disappointed that the court has ruled that Abid Naseer and Ahmad Faraz Khan should not be deported to Pakistan, which we were seeking on national security grounds.
"As the court agreed, they are a security risk to the UK. We are now taking all possible measures to ensure they do not engage in terrorist activity."
So, in other words, the government are just going to meekly accept this decision and spend large amounts of our money monitoring them, while making cuts elsewhere.
What she should have said is: "We're going to take urgent steps to repeal this legislation and start sending people like this back to their country of origin. The interests and well being of the ordinary people of this country, whatever their race, culture or religion are far more important to us than any possible risk to these inidividuals in their home countries."
But, of course, that's too much to hope for, isn't it?
