Immigration judges granted a convicted child sex offender the right to enter Britain after ruling that barring him would breach his human rights. The latest shocking example of a ‘deeply perverse’ ruling from the immigration courts involves Jamaican paedophile Oniel Spence, who was jailed in the United States for a sexual offence against a 15-year-old girl.
It really shouldn’t surprise me anymore, the depths of depravity of British judges seems fully equal to that of Yank paedophiles...
Details of the case are revealed by the Daily Mail for the first time today after Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp this week blasted judges’ ‘tyranny’ over the immigration system.
It’s nice to see a Tory speaking out about this, though one wonders why he didn’t speak before when his party was in a position to do something about it.
Spence, now 43, applied to come to the UK in 2023 to join his wife and child - who are both British nationals - but was blocked by the Home Office. Officials barred his application on the grounds his exclusion was ‘conducive to the public good’. The paedophile then lodged an appeal at the lower immigration tribunal and won permission to come here from immigration judge Jonathan Greer.
It’s nice to see that they’re naming the judges, and I would hope that people in a position to provide services and goods to them take note of this
His lawyers argued preventing him from entering Britain had breached Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which covers the right to ‘private and family life’. The Home Secretary at the time, Yvette Cooper, appealed to the upper immigration tribunal against the decision. But judges Madeleine Reeds and Nathan Moxon refused her arguments.
Did no one point out that there was nothing stopping them from going to him to resolve this?
Current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood then brought a further case at the Court of Appeal.Earlier this month senior judges overturned the original decision, describing it as ‘perverse’, and ordered the case to be re-heard by the first-tier tribunal.A Home Office spokesman said: ‘We will do everything in our power to continue contesting this case.'
Well, why not? It’s just taxpayers money after all.
