you wanna talk stuck on stupid?  try this. criminals are customers.

Load of wimps, those Aussies - can’t even cope with a pretty ordinary villain. We’ll know exactly what to do with him: give him loads of benefits, a home, free health care and all the things a man could need. And if he’s naughty again and gets caught up in our friendly justice system, he’ll get a nice self-contained room with ensuite loo and colour TV, facilities for snooker, pool, table tennis, a gym and a library - in Brixton, Wormwood Scrubs or Pentonville.

So what’s that all about? 

Well …. Seems there’s a bad guy who’s too bad for the Aussies to keep, and so for the safety of the Australian public, the Aussies have deported him.  Where to?

Where else?  England of course.  Home of benefits for miscreants and civil rights of all kinds.  Brits are NOT happy but, who’s listening to the unwashed public anyway?  Certainly not the powers that be.  They’re very busy these days protecting civilians in other countries. 

I almost forgot. Nuther bit of lunacy talking about miscreants and criminality.  Now how’s this for what Drew calls,

“Stuck on Stupid.”

The head of the probation service here, a woman named Heather Munro, has drawn some flak over her new age idea with regard to offenders.
Not even the wild imagination of some of our BMEWS commenters and lets include Drew and Christopher and for certain myself, would dream this one up.

She suggests that criminals should be referred to as “CUSTOMERS” and we MUST be more considerate to offenders.

Now how’s that for stuck on stupid?  You can read the whole stupid story by clicking on that stupid face below.

OK, now that’s outta the way I can continue with my original post. Guy from Australia, right?

Here. Take a look at this.


Shipped back to Britain: Australians say career thug is a risk to the public - so they’ve sent him home to the UK… as a free man

By JACK DOYLE and JAMES SLACK

A career criminal who tried to murder a police officer in Australia was yesterday returned to Britain as a free man.
The taxpayer now faces spending tens of thousands providing housing and benefits to Clifford Tucker even though he has spent most of his life in Australia.

Officials there ruled that Tucker, who has committed a string of crimes over almost 30 years, posed an ‘unacceptable risk to the public’.
Tucker, 47, moved from Britain to Australia with his parents aged six, and has lived in Adelaide for 41 years.

But because he never obtained an Australian passport his visa was revoked over his criminal conduct after he returned home from a holiday to Bali. He committed his first crime aged only 11 and has served more than a decade in jail.

MPs said that, had Britain tried to deport an Australian guilty of similar offences, the Government would have been defeated by human rights law.
It sparked renewed criticism of Labour’s Human Rights Act and the scandal of foreign criminals living here. Britain’s courts have consistently allowed human rights appeals by foreign criminals because they have developed a ‘family life’.

Last year more than 200 foreign prisoners cheated deportation by using their ‘right to a family life’ in Britain.
Backbench Tory MP Dominic Raab said: ‘Most British citizens would understand the Australian government putting their public protection first. We need to change Labour’s Human Rights Act, to enable the UK to do the same.

‘Australia is bound by international human rights treaties, but it uses a bit of common sense when it comes to implementing them into domestic law.’
Tucker, an alcoholic, has no family in the UK and is entitled to full benefits, including housing support, paid for by taxpayers. It is thought he was interviewed by police on his arrival at Heathrow to assess whether he needed monitoring here.

Last night it was not clear where he was staying.
He was even forced to pay for the costs of his ticket back to Britain and the flight costs of two Australian immigration officials who escorted him.
Before he was deported, Tucker said he had ‘no idea’ what he was going to do in Britain. ‘I’ve got no money to support myself,’ he said.
He has three children aged 16, 15 and 12 in Adelaide. His mother, Terry Haighton, has set up a Facebook site to support his cause.

Tucker’s lawyer said sending him home was a ‘fundamental breach of human rights’.
Stephen Kenny said: ‘If he’s a ratbag, he’s one of our ratbags. He’s done the crimes and he’s paid for the crimes. This is quite an inhumane punishment, far beyond the treatment he deserves.’

But Australia’s immigration department said his bad character and criminal history meant he presented an ‘unacceptable risk of harm’ to the public. It said it took very seriously its role in protecting Australians.

THE REST OF EVERYTHING IS HERE


So why can’t we do the same thing?

COMMENTARY By JAMES SLACK

On the other side of the world, a migrant convicted of the attempted murder of a police officer is deported, on the grounds he poses an ‘unacceptable risk’ to the native population.
Few would describe the Australian government’s decision as anything other than common sense.

After all Clifford Tucker, a British citizen, had abused Australia’s hospitality. By throwing him out, justice was undeniably done.
Consider, however, what would have happened if Tucker – a career criminal jailed for 12 years for shooting and seriously wounding a police officer – had been a foreigner committing crimes in Britain.

There is precisely zero chance that our courts – or the interfering judges in Strasbourg – would have agreed to his removal in the interests of protecting the British public.
Instead, they would have found that, because he moved here from his home country when he was young, Tucker had a ‘human right’ to a family life in his adopted nation. Since he had three children his hand would have been strengthened even further.

Depressingly, these are the rules we live by thanks to the European Convention on Human Rights and Labour’s Human Rights Act.
No matter whether a person is living here illegally, or what heinous crimes they commit, if they can evade the authorities for long enough, our courts will let them stay for ever. Housing, benefits and every other right enjoyed by law-abiding British citizens will inevitably follow.
In other words, compared to Australia, America and dozens of other countries, British justice is a soft touch.

Witness how, in a case with chilling similarities to that of Tucker, Learco Chindamo was permitted to remain in Britain despite killing London headmaster Philip Lawrence.
Instead of Chindamo being sent home to Italy once his sentence was served, an immigration tribunal ruled – to widespread horror – that because he had been here since he was a small child, he had a human right to remain here. The fact he posed a danger to the public was seemingly irrelevant.

Or consider the case of Aso Mohammed Ibrahim who knocked down a 12-year-old girl in his car in Darwen, Lancashire, and left her to die.
Ibrahim, an Iraqi who had been refused asylum here, was driving while disqualified, and after Amy Houston’s death he committed a string of further offences.
However, an immigration tribunal ruled that because Ibrahim had children in Britain he had a right to a ‘family life’ in the UK.
Not a thought was given to the human rights of the family whose lives he had destroyed.

In a further shocking case, Rocky Gurung, a Nepalese who killed the son of a Gurkha war hero by throwing him into the Thames on a drunken night out, was permitted to stay here so his right to a ‘family life’ could be protected.
After prison, Gurung persuaded judges that it would breach his ‘right to family life’ if he was sent back to Nepal.

This was despite the fact he was single and had no children.

Last year, a total of 200 foreign prisoners avoided deportation by claiming their human right to a ‘family life’ in Britain. The Home Office has confirmed that the ‘right to a family life’ is now the most popular claim used by criminals who successfully avoid deportation from the UK – overtaking the right to ‘protection from torture’ which they might face when returning home.

  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
