High Court is a boost to Reform?

[vladi]

Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system

The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories.

To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees.

If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.

[Jenijenjen]

To put this over dramatic and somewhat gleeful post in context, the policy has not "failed at first hurdle."

"It is just a temporary decision. The judge granted a pause of at least 14 days so the man, who is not being named for legal reasons and arrived in the UK on a small boat last month, could provide evidence of his claim that he has been a victim of modern day slavery."

Definitely not intended  to come across as "gleeful".

Quite the opposite, because developments such as this will only encourage extreme right-wingers such as Reform. And heaven help us if they ever formed a government.
It's incumbent on Labour to come up with an effective  policy to "smash the gangs" otherwise we are facing Farage and his gang further down the road.

It should be easy enough to point out to anyone even thinking of voting reform that should they take power they will have no impact. And will make things worse.  And if people think politicians break promises now and reform are a breath of fresh air then they ain’t seen nothing yet 

but they won’t really care about immigration if reform do win 

uk used to be about law and order and now we have dim talking heads everywhere unchallenged going “leave the ECHR, stuff the judges, just do it!!”
