Well, Why Not? The Taxpayer's Picking Up The Tab, Again...

A rapist who dodged deportation after a mutiny by plane passengers will next month launch another bid to avoid being booted out of Britain.
Yes, it's this thorn in our side again.
Ahmed, who was first told he was liable for deportation in 2010, was released on bail in March last year, but detained again shortly afterwards because he ripped off an electronic tag and tried to flee the country.
I wonder why we didn't just let him? Is it because we know there'd be no checks on him returning under an assumed name?
At that stage, 12 years of criminal trials, prison costs and immigration cases involving Ahmed – who receives legal aid – were estimated to have cost British taxpayers more than £330,000. That figure is set to soar now he has won the right to argue his case for a judicial review hearing.
Once again, the only ones winning are the lawyers...

Simple answer, just use a RAF transport plane and drop him off on the way over - from about 3000 feet.

You do have to wonder if the lawyers had to live next door to these criminals if they would be so keen to keep them here. Obscene amounts of money squandered to the detriment of our society and the enrichment of lawyers without a shred of morality about them.

Why do we tolerate this endless and costly legal LARPing?

I don't need to wonder. I'm pretty sure I know the answer.
