I think he is in deep, deep trouble over this one.  His answers on the News tonight left a lot to be desired......\n\n(I bet the Americans have not got a clue what we are on about.  Also, very nice to see correct spelling and grammar).

No he is not. And if he has overstayed his visa he should be reported to the nearest immigration centre with a view to immediate deportation.

Valid point.\n\nI agree. It is a money saving tactic. They don't have the manpower to monitor everybody 24 hours a day either so it won't work and since it's a money saving tactic they won't put more money into increasing manpower. That would be counter-productive.\n\nLot's of people believe that it would be best to keep some criminals locked up. In the UK we have prison overcrowding so clearly too many people are being sent. This costs governments lots of money which they do not want to spend. They have far better things to be doing like invading countries, etc. Wars coincidentally also cost money.\n\nPrisons are not the solution to all crimes but if people are deemed (by society) a danger to society then keep them locked up.

Charge them or release them. What would the people of this country feel if another was holding our citizens without charges and complete disregard for international law.

I was there in 94 and can only agree. They should be in a jail cell awaiting deportation.

It's all boll*cks mate.  These people here are the reason why Britain is so fu*ked.  What she and Huntley did was despicable, just like any child murder or pedo.  Fair play to you for wanting to hunt her down.  If you do, put the baseball bat across her knees a few times for me!!

I know you mean council tax, anyhow the lady in question was wrong not to pay her bill. I agree that carting someone off to jail for a minor offence is abominable when paedophiles are being set free.If only more people complained in this country, look at France, they have a riot every time the government there cocks up!It's time we stopped adopting the "stiff upper lip" attitude and started to show the politicians who their bosses are, us the taxpayer!

In the UK - yes as you were bound over. In 1983, if you had been found 'not guilty' they would have had to have been destroyed, but nowadays they remain on file even if you are acquitted - as does your DNA and photograph.\nI'm a police officer, but I still think that this is a gross infringements of our human rights, and building up a DNA database by the back door....\nAnd yes, I do read The Guardian....

No, they should work whilst in prison and it should be some form of work that actually makes a profit so that they can pay back their debt to society in hard cash.\n\nIf for example they stole a car and the car was recovered they should owe the cost of repairs, compensation to the owner for inconvenience and other ancillery expenses, the cost of bed and board at prison, the cost of magistrates, police and other staff in the justice system.  If they were sentenced to one year and it would take two years to pay their debts then they should serve two years unless they can find a job on the outside that pays more.\n\nThey should be given every help regarding training and education.\n\nIf they kill a man they should owe the man's children what he would have earnt had he survived until the children are earning themselves.\n\nIf someone sets fire to a building causing say £100,000 worth of damage then they should owe and pay that amount plus court/police/prison costs etc.  \n\nThe only excuse for not paying what they owe should be if they die first.\n\nIf the politically correct morons would allow this to happen, then ninety per cent of crime would cease to exist overnight.

They have in the past.  I believe it was in the 1980's when Castro put some of the worst criminals and the mentally ill on boats and sent them to the US on a "leave Cuba without being shot" type of day.  The US was waiting to deport them when the prisoners rioted in Atlanta and someplace in Mississippi I think.  Bottom line is, he can and probably will get deported, or else, spend a good chunk of time in Federal Prison.

They ought not to be there. I will be forever mystified why someone as intelligent at Tony Blair would suck up to president bunny pants and support his colonial war. \nI feel they ought to go home.

i think they all should be deported along with the people who marry them.....

There can be many people with the same name . If all the info doesn't match then that should demonstraight that.\nThat is probably why he wasn't arrested

should be done... and any climbers arrested.\n\nThe guards who were arrested either should have their sentences disguarged or be pardoned entirely.\n\nCrossing the border improperly makes one a 'illegal'.

Absolutely. Could not agree more. He's been in power nine years and suddenly he's noticed it's not working.\nCrucially too, did you spot how he says it's time to redress the balance, not between victims and criminals, but "victims and suspects"? Not that he's planning on getting tough with people convicted of crimes, but that he's planning to strip away still more rights from people who are simply accused of crimes. People fought and died for centuries to win those liberties and judicial protections but Tony "imprisonment without trial" Blair, reckons they should go. Dear God, imagine if Mrs Thatcher had come up with this lunacy. We thought she was a mad old witch, but she didn't charge us for going to university and if George Bush had told her to get busy with invading Iraq she'd have told him where to stick it.

Mate if it wasn't for the legal aid system in England , i don't think the human rights act would exist here!
