Just another piece of irrefutable evidence of the demise of the British. This is the what happens when a nation embraces socialism for 60 years and by doing so, generates a welfare state that cannot even deport hard-core criminals anymore. How any sane person remains a resident of the U>k> is beyond me. Family/business ties won't help you much when the U.K. economy totally crashes and the country is overrun with hostile Muslim immigrants demanding their 'right' to government-subsidized freebies that won't be possible due to the lack of taxpayers to support the nanny state. As Margaret Thatcher once stated: "The trouble with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money". The great lady was both astute and correct.
This is not so much a welfare state problem as it is a PC-driven judicial problem. All those ‘60s hippies now donning their quaint little white wigs. And, as we all know, it’s not limited to the UK, either. These ‘human rights’ judicial terrorists are plentiful in any Western country.
God help us all! (Or, if He’s busy with other matters at the moment, a good length of rope and a tree would do just fine.)
