>A deported Ghanaian drug smuggler who sneaked back into the UK with a fake passport has won his human rights appeal to remain in Britain.
>Oduola Toye was deported three times after being judged by the Home Office to be a threat to public safety because of his four-year jail sentence for class A drug smuggling and convictions for deception and fraud.
>He returned to the UK each time to lodge appeals against his removal after fathering three children in Britain and claiming that deportation would breach his rights to a family life.
>Toye, who has used multiple identities over the past 40 years, has now been granted leave to remain in the UK after the immigration tribunal ruled that his deportation would breach his article eight rights to a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Anyone wonder why the immigration judges are completely off their rockers, here’s the proof!!! No excuse this is to make Britain worse
“Toye, who has used multiple identities over the past 40 years, has now been granted leave to remain in the UK after the immigration tribunal ruled that his deportation would breach his article eight rights to a family life under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).”
At what point does the blazingly obvious fact that the ECHR is a hindrance to maintaining and enforcing the idea of borders and the ability of the UK to establish its sovereignty get through to the political establishment of the country.
Yet anytime the political parties act to remove or reinterpret the ECHR its pounced on as a fascist take over and removal of human rights that would destroy the foundation of society, as if the UK didn’t have human rights pre ECHR, or the fact that non-signatory counties have equal or greater recognition of rights ie NZ or Australia
So what about anyone who comes illegally will be deported and barred from returning?

What a joke.
Another insane court decision helping to elect a reform government.
>Toye lodged a series of appeals against deportation in the subsequent years but, according to the court, there was a delay of up to 11 years between his application to revoke the order to remove him and a decision from the Home Office.
>The Home Office blamed the delay on Toye’s own actions and, in particular, his use of multiple names and identities but Judge Sarah Pinder said it was “inexcusable” and “egregious.”
So there was an 11 year delay, for whatever reason, which seems to be a lot of the reason for this decision because the court are saying that in that time he’s reformed his life.
I’m not sure if the government can appeal this, but if they can I suspect they will.
He can have a family life… in Ghana. Deport the whole family.
The interpretation of the ECHR needs to be massively reined in by parliament.
The country is screwed.
Our judges are incompetent or doing this as some sort of agenda.
The entire third world watches these events and is emboldened to enter the country illegally, knowing that with strong precedent they simply will never be forced to return home. They can do whatever they want, break any laws they want, say and do anything to whoever, and they will be treated better than natives and see no degradation in their quality of life relative to their current life status.
The ECHR is simply not compatible with any sane migration policy, completely and utterly exploited to the detriment of the nation economically, culturally and socially.
And people wonder why there is unrest, claims of two tier policing and the general situation at the moment.
