Agreed but I do think the home office are caught between a rock and a hard place.  They either try and deport people which kicks up a storm before it's the wrong type of person which is where you get Human rights lawyers, charities, protestors or the general public to stop flights.  Or you get the other half of the public complaining that the home office don't deport, grant everyone Asylum, give free houses and unlimited money to people etc. Etc  And whichever government has their turn to try and improve things, they will face the same issues and chances are won't do the needful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
