RIGHT SPEAK: Britain's New 'Deport Now, Appeal Later' Policy ... Taking any notes Barry?

... I didn't think so ...

Judges have finally agreed to the deportation of violent foreign criminals before they have exhausted their appeals in the British courts.

Overseas convicts had lodged a series of judicial reviews against a new ‘deport first, appeal later’ regime brought in by Home Secretary Theresa May last year.

But, in a string of test cases, human rights judges found there was no bar to making the immigrants lodge their claims back home – where they are no burden on the UK taxpayer.

Those kicked out include a Nigerian woman who claimed to have a human right to a family life in the UK – despite being convicted of repeatedly beating her own child.

Previously, she would have been able to drag out her case for years by lodging a string of appeals.

Last night, ministers said they hoped an end was in sight to the ‘countless appeals and re-appeals lodged by criminals attempting to cheat the system’.

Three hundred convicts have now been deported under the new regime, with a further 500 in the pipeline.

Immigration minister James Brokenshire said: ‘Foreign nationals who abuse our hospitality by committing crime in Britain should be in no doubt of our determination to deport them.

‘The countless appeals and re-appeals lodged by criminals attempting to cheat the system cost us all money and are an affront to British justice. Non-suspensive appeals are allowing us to kick out foreign criminals more quickly and more efficiently than ever before and I want to see them used as often as possible.’

Until last year, foreign criminals could not be put on a plane until the last of their appeals – which could include applications to an immigration tribunal, the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court – had ended.
