Theresa May announces a bumper payday for migration lawyers : Sun Feb 17, 2013 9:27 am  

Following on from her I'm not making this up speech at the tories' 2011 conference, Theresa May now intends to introduce legislation to ensure most foreigners guilty of serious crimes are deported. All I can see is a massive increase in cases going before the ECHR in Strasbourg and a bonanza for HR lawyers. Mind you, she has already said she'd like to scrap the Human Rights Act

Personally i think all foreign criminals should be deported to country of origin regardless. If you fear the country you're from so much, don't commit crime in this country, simple.

So, what do we do with people with dual nationality, saw them in half?

Obviously give them a choice of which one of the two countries they belong to, if they refuse then we choose for them.

If they have dual here and somewhere else, then obviously they stay here

If I traveled to a foreign country and committed a serious crime, I would expect to be deported.

I don't see the problem with these proposals.

A Tory suggested them, therefore they must be a bad idea.

I think you'd be severely disappointed then to find that you'd probably be tried and incarcerated in that foreign country rather than deported.

Labour have pressed for legislation too according the BBC article.

But yes, 'Tory Policy = Automatically Bad'.

Not automatically bad, just often not thought through correctly with attention to detail or consideration for all aspects and effects, we have had government by soundbites for far too long, of all colours.
