Jamaica deportation: 25 saved from flight – but 17 are aboard, despite court ruling
Boris Johnson: He’s a foreign-born UK resident who plotted a crime in the UK – why hasn’t he been deported?
This is a win – if only a partial one.
A ruling by the Court of Appeal that people who have not had access to legal advice should not be on the Home Office’s deportation plane to Jamaica has led to a reprieve for 25 of them.
But they do not know what the Conservatives will do to them next, and 17 people were forced to take the plane.
Campaigners have said that the decision to deport people who have been in the UK since they were as young as two years old, meaning they are being removed from their families and the country they consider their home, is racist.
The Tories are saying that it is right to deport people who were born in foreign countries and committed crimes in the UK.
So far they have refused to address the fault in their argument – that their own prime minister, Boris Johnson, plotted an assault and battery offence against a UK journalist.
Why is he not on a plane to the United States, which is where he was born, with no hope of return?

It’s odd though that they are targeting Caribbeans for this treatment. I think if they started targeting British Asians there would be riots, and they know it.
I agree male dictator king boris inflicted violence on a male journalist so why has not king boris been deported to his birthplace which is New York, America? Given king boris is also a criminal!
