Convicted Asylum seeker criminal can’t be deported - no country will have him

An asylum seeker with 14 convictions for 17 crimes cannot be deported back to his native Algeria, or anywhere else, because no other country will have him, a High Court Judge was told.

The 31-year-old Algerian repeat offender presents 'high risk of harm to the public' and has committed 'numerous criminal offences' including violent and drug crime.

Since arriving in the UK from Africa in 2003, the man has been convicted of 17 offences over a seven-year period, but has lodged a compensation claim against the UK Government claiming he has been unlawfully held in a detention centre.

High Court Judge Martin McKenna saw through his story and ruled in favour of the Home Office dismissing the claim, but had to release him from immigration detention after deportation attempts failed.

Judge McKenna said the man, who has a history of alcoholism, drug use and homelessness and cannot be named, had been born in a refugee camp in southern Algeria, claimed that he was 'stateless'.

He said Home Office staff had approached authorities in different parts of Africa - in a bid to deport - but officials abroad had refused to provide travel documents to the man.

In his ruling, Judge McKenna said: 'The claimant entered the United Kingdom in 2003 and claimed asylum in June 2003.

'In 2005 the claimant began to develop a mental health disorder. He has been treated as an inpatient in hospital since that time both on a voluntary and involuntary basis under mental health legislation.

'He has had periods when he has been drinking heavily and periods when he has been street homeless. He has had periods when he has been suicidal and periods when he has self-harmed. He has been prescribed medication for his mental health condition.'

Judge McKenna added: 'The claimant is a serial offender. Between April 7 2005 and September 10 2012 he acquired 14 convictions for 17 separate offences including attempted robbery, criminal damage, drugs and numerous convictions for shoplifting.

'He was assessed as posing a high risk of harm to the public.'

Judge McKenna said the man had subsequently been detained under immigration legislation pending deportation.

The man had claimed that he had been unlawfully detained between January and November 2015, but Home Office officials disputed his claim and said he was a 'serial absconder' and had committed 'numerous criminal offences'.

Staff said he had been held at a time where there had been a prospect of deportation - and they said reasonable deportation steps had been taken. 

The man, who has a history of mental health problems and was not named in the ruling, claimed that he had been unlawfully detained and wanted compensation from the Home Office.

Judge McKenna dismissed the compensation claim but described the man as a 'serial offender' - listing convictions for attempted robbery, criminal damage, drug crime and shoplifting - and said he had been assessed as 'posing a high risk of harm to the public'.

The Human Rights Act could be abolished and replaced by a British Bill of Rights in a move to end unpopular judgements allowing criminals and suspected terrorists to remain in the UK - typically on grounds such as the article 8 ‘right to a family life’ - thwarting Home Office efforts to deport them.

Theresa May becomes the UK's second female Prime Minister

Wednesday 13 July 2016. I spent the day in London witnessing the drama and excitement going on in Westminster and the Houses of Parliament, the home of British democracy.

In a few hours we had David Cameron giving his last speech as PM in the House of Commons behind me, then resigning as Prime Minister and the first female leader since Margaret Thatcher taking his place - and home - in 10 Downing Street.

Within hours of taking the helm of UK PLC, Theresa May started forming her new government. Out goes George Osborne and in comes Philip Hammond as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and surprise move of the day being Boris Johnson's appointment as Foreign Secretary.

Taking Theresa's old job as Home Secretary will be Amber Rudd, the former Energy and Climate Change Secretary and investment banker. She takes over at the Home Office - border control, UK Visas, Police and homeland security -  where Mrs May has lasted longer than any minister in modern times.

Leave campaigner and euro sceptic, David Davis will be in charge of the important BREXIT (Britain's exit from the EU) process, which should dismiss claims that May, a remain campaigner, will not honour the 17 million people who voted the leave the European Union last month.

Governments make policies and run the wider economy, public spending etc, but ordinary folk like you and I have to run our OWN economy.

Home Based Revolution and Digital Economy

It's a strange fact that at least two of the world's most powerful leaders actually work from home! That's right, they live above the shop and have a home office. Well, not quite, but get this. Within a day of the decision to appoint Theresa May as Prime Minister David and Samantha Cameron were packing their belongings and a van turned up to move them out of number 10!

Seriously, there is a huge shift going on today with more and more people opting to get out of the rat race and daily 9-5 grind and seek a new more satisfying way of living. We want more from life, we want a LIFE, and we are not going to get it spending 40 years commuting to an office or workplace 5 days a week while our families grow up faster than we can say "where did the years go?".

Whether you want to be a stay at home mum or someone who wants to persuade their boss to allow them to work from home a few days a week there is a quiet revolution taking place and it has become possible in the digital age. The problem is, most people don't know how they can make the shift from regular job to home-based entrepreneur or worker.
