00:00The big news this week was the government's new illegal migrant deal with the French.
00:05First migrants who arrived on small boat are now in detention.
00:10That is the first step to removing them to France.
00:15They even produced a snazzy video showing that they say
00:19the first people being detained are here and sent to the removal centres.
00:30It sounds like the start of a warehouse rave more than anything like that, doesn't it, really?
00:41Now, this may be a start, and I do hope it works.
00:45I think we should all hope it works.
00:46If it stops the boats, then fantastic.
00:48But I have always said that unless we have mass deportation to people
00:52who are already here illegally, then it's not going to make much difference, is it?
00:56And I have also always said that we have a huge problem
01:00with the British legal system, ambulance-chasing human rights lawyers
01:03and, in my view, idiotic judges who make ludicrous decisions.
01:06And I can reveal now, for the first time,
01:09one of the most insane asylum stories that I think proves just that.
01:14A knifeman and convicted Class A drug dealer from Guinea
01:18has won the right to stay in Britain
01:20after judges ruled that he had, quote,
01:22socially integrated into our country.
01:25There you go.
01:25The Home Office has been trying to deport him for the last 18 years.
01:30By the way, I'll just warn you now, this gets worse with every single line, OK?
01:33So we're trying to deport him for the last 18 years.
01:35He arrived in Britain in March 2007
01:37as what he claimed to be an unaccompanied child
01:41and then claim asylum.
01:42That claim was refused and the appeal was then dismissed.
01:45He then submitted another appeal.
01:48That was refused.
01:49We're now in 2011, by the way, just so we're across this.
01:52But we didn't deport him.
01:53He then committed a load more crimes.
01:55First one, he was jailed for possession of an offensive weapon.
01:59Secondly, he was jailed again for just under three years
02:02for four counts of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.
02:06Third one, he then went to prison again for 32 weeks for possession of a blade.
02:11The Home Office then decided, well, we'll have another crack at this, all right?
02:14Let's try and get this guy out of here.
02:15We're now in 2018, right?
02:18Couldn't do it.
02:18He claimed that he couldn't be sent back to Guinea
02:21because back in 2007, he'd been treated badly by police
02:25at a protest over there.
02:27Well, that was then dismissed.
02:28So you think, right, finally, we're going to get rid of this crook.
02:31Er, it gets even more mental, I'm afraid.
02:33The judge decided that he could stay, now, after another appeal,
02:38on human rights grounds because he was, quote,
02:41socially and culturally integrated into the UK.
02:44And it would be difficult for him to reintegrate back in Guinea.
02:49Well, presumably because they don't have any drugs or knives over there.
02:51But a psychologist also said that he had a low risk of re-offending.
02:58Yeah, that was one of the core things.
03:00I know, how ridiculous is this?
03:01Seriously, how ridiculous is this?
03:03Exactly.
03:04Despite the repeated drug and knife offences, obviously.
03:06So the Home Office, right, here we go, they thought,
03:09well, come on, we'll have another crack at this, lads.
03:10We'll go again.
03:11We're going to appeal this decision.
03:13And I can now reveal that they have just lost that appeal.
03:16And the problem with this is that he's been awarded
03:19indefinite leave to remain.
03:21So he's just going to be here for...
03:23He could be here forever now.
03:24This is it.
03:25My point is this.
03:26It's all well and good saying that you're going to send a few people
03:28back to France every week.
03:29The only answer, though, is mass deportations of pretty much
03:32everyone who's come here illegally.
03:34We can't do that, can we?
03:35With these current human rights laws.
03:37So...
03:38...
03:41...
03:41...
03:42...
