Despite Kodra's conviction for managing a brothel, possessing criminal property and possession of false ID he has been told he can remain in Britain.
I should be speechless, but...
Upholding his appeal against deportation on human rights grounds, Judge Cordella Bart-Stewart said: 'There is no evidence that he poses a risk to the public.
'He is a clever and industrious young man with the potential to contribute much to society. He has a home here and support.'
Remember when we were told female judges would bring a unique perspective to their role and ensure women and children would be recognised and their rights upheld? Wonder if this was what they meant...
'He would be able to work. I find that the public interest does not require the appellant to be deported from the United Kingdom.'
Really? Are we short of home-grown criminal talent, then?
She also noted that he had 'severe haemophilia' and would not have access to the same level of treatment in Albania – affecting his life expectancy.
Kodra claimed asylum in the UK when he was 15 and was granted limited leave to remain before appealing to extend it in 2017.
After an initial rejection he was granted leave for a further 18 months in July 2019 – the month he was arrested for running the brothel.
It is to laugh, isn't it?
Julia, you must remember that all of the new crop of 'people of the law' from the police to the judges are now part of the liberal woke culture and as a consequence come out with stupidity like this - gone are the days of 'you do the crime you do the time'.

ReplyDeleteIt's actually to weep. There is no future for this country or, rather, not one which my ancestors (and I) would recognise. Our gates have been opened to the scum of the world who, once here, are well supported in Parliament and from the judicial benches. My children are lucky. They have immediate access to jobs and a future abroad: they can leave whenever they want. Were I younger I'd go as well.
"...gone are the days of 'you do the crime you do the time'."
ReplyDeleteAnd we're not better for it. Far from it!
"There is no future for this country or, rather, not one which my ancestors (and I) would recognise."
I used to be optimistic. As the years pass with no significant rollback, I get less so...
