Batman's point was that you can get arrested and harassed by the police for tweets. It's a fair bit more than simply irritating. People have a right to express themselves however they like online as long as it's not direct incitement or similar. Let's ignore the Lucy connolly case and look at the many lesser examples of police visiting houses because someone has complained about a tweet that has upset them.

Is this actually something decent - I hope so -or is it just part of the PR that comes with state visits ?

Right well if thays the case then I don't believe we should allow belated modern slavery appeals. If you miss the clearly communicated deadline then that's on you.

And you give the appellant a deadline for filing the appeal with enough time for the system to look at it and reject it with no more appeals necessary. That's a much better approach than we have now.

Supposedly text messages to his transgender lover.

A week is a hypothetical example. The deadline for an appeal needs to be early enough that the appeal can be done and dusted before the flight is due to take off whether that's a week, three weeks or whatever. What we can't have is last minute appeals designed to delay things. One appeal with enough tine to process you and reject it and then you're in the flight with no further delays. If we'd said to this bloke three weeks ago that you have until next week to appeal your deportation and then two weeks to prove your case or you're leaving then that would have been preferable.

In fact looking at this case he has 14 days now to get the necessary evidence together. If the deadline for appeal had been 14 days ago then he would have had the time necessary to gather the evidence and he would be being deported now. As soon as you come here illegally.You have a limited time to provide evidence that you've been trafficked or you are gone.

Not sure what you mean by this. They will have legal representation. The legal representation will be aware of a deadline for appeal which is why now they are able to appeal at the very last minute in order to delay the flight. If they are given notice that they have to appeal for the sake of argument let's say seven days before deportation then there is enough time to assess the validity of the appeal and reject it so they are cleared to be deported as planned.

Of course he did, they always do. It shouldn't be allowed. If you're making an appeal then it needs to be done earlier. If you miss the deadline to appeal then off you go. If you complain then tough you shouldn't have come here illegally.

I'd certainly be looking to renegotiate the echr where right to family life is routinely abused. Probably in partnership with other countries who are keen to make changes as well. If it's Impossible then we will likely have no choice but to leave. I'd look to be a tougher with some of these countries as well. If they don't assist in taking back illegal citizens then they shouldn't be receiving substantial aid from us and we certainly shouldn't be making life easy for them. We need to be a lot more serious about tackling the problem.

You misunderstand me. Their activist lawyers deliberately put in last minute appeals to delay their deportation. If we tell them they are getting deported in a week then they have to put an appeal in with enough time to process and reject it and then get sent off on the flight as planned. No last minute appeals and gunging up of the system.

If they're scheduled to depart on a flight then give them a time limit to appeal. Any appeal needs to be done and dusted to allow time for the flight to leave with the people on board.

I think if we're sending them back to France I don't see the relevance. Hand them to French authorities and let them deal with it. Don't come here illegally.

What do you mean break the law ? They are responsible for the law! Change the bloody law and remove the authority of the judges in this area.

Agreed. This is insanity. Why are the people in charge of our country unable to govern the way they want to? Why are they allowing this?

Anything like that would be better than what is happening now. How did Labour not know that this sort of thing was obviously going to happen ?

Looks like three for three now. Labour must realise surely how ridiculous this makes them look. Just come out with a statement saying how angry you are at this state of affairs happening again and again and how weak it makes the people supposedly in power. Let us know that you're going to changing the law as soon as possible to remove these impediments. In many ways this is now worse than doing nothing.

I'm not sure what more worrying -that he genuinely believes what he's written or he knows it's a load of old bollocks and wrote it anyway. Either is a bit concerning to be honest. At least there wasn't casual references to Jews in this post which means it's slightly less offensive than ones he's done in the past.

That's the bit I found most hurtful .

Rwanda was a ridiculous waste of time and money that was never going to work and I believe I posted as much at the time. It's mad that any government can be held hostage by activist charities. Just change the fucking law and tell the charities and activist lawyers to fuck off and do what you were voted in to do.

Hardly. It's a fact that a second flight was meant to go today and hasn't done so. I don't give a shit about some crappy sun journalist , it's the story that matters. I know you like to play down anything like this...

That's two flights gone and a total of zero illegals left. I wonder if they will let reporters on the third one?

I agree Russell is a bellend and I'm taking great delight in seeing him fail. I'm just explaining why it wouldn't make sense for our fans to have immediately jumped on him like rangers have given he actually achieved something with us.

I mean he did get us promoted tbf. We also don't have the same level of expectation as a rangers .

Off to a promising start. All going swimmingly. Goodness knows where we are going to be after another three years of this.
