What Has 'Common Sense' Got To Do With It, Liam?

A foreign paedophile who abused his stepdaughter and two of her cousins has been allowed to stay in Scotland – because deporting him would breach his right to a family life. The man in his 50s, originally from central Africa, was found guilty of vile sex attacks on the three young girls. The severity of his offences meant he was to be automatically sent back to his homeland.

But of course, the intervention of activist judges with warped priorities put the kibosh on that. 

But even though his victims were members of his extended family, his deportation was blocked as he claimed his family life would suffer – despite a judge ruling he ‘continues to pose a risk’. Last night Scottish Conservative justice spokesman Liam Kerr said: ‘The public will be appalled that this dangerous criminal can remain in Scotland.

'Common sense should mean that public safety is always prioritised rather than offenders.’

We don't operate by 'commmon sense' any more Liam. If we did, this man wouldn't be here in the first place. And initially, he wasn't.  

Identified in official documents as ‘MD’, he arrived in the UK in 2008 and claimed asylum but was initially rejected.

Hurrah! Some common se..

Oh. 

Using publicly funded legal aid, he went to court to argue he should be allowed to remain.

*sighs* 

He married a British woman and fathered three children and became stepfather to his wife’s daughter from a previous marriage.

The Home Office said it is challenging the ruling.

It needs to start challenging the activist judges, too.
