"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? :rolleyes:

It's no good exclusively "con-dem-ing" them for all this, Bernard. As Margaret quite rightly says, your government introduced this piece of legislation in the first place!

I wasn't really referring to any particular piece of legislation. I was being more general really.

Well, while you're here perhaps you'd care to comment on it?

I would agree with most of the comments. He should be deported.

I have news for Teresa May...disappointed doesn't cut it.......they are illegal......that means they have no rights........no rights to be here, no right to appeal.
And as for monitoring them to ensure that they aren't 'naughty' again....well, I don't trust them to do that right either.
As Wyn so aptly observes, it is going to cost money to monitor them......something that is going to be in short supply in the coming months(remember we have bills to pay, debts to service)....so where is this money coming from then? You guessed...our pockets.
Send the blighters back to where they came from and let them take their chances......either that or give them 28 days to find a country that will adopt them.
