Battling To Keep Britain Safe, Priti The New Iron Lady

‘Determined and gutsy Ms Patel won’t buckle to PC nonsense’

- Patrick O’Flynn

NOW WE can see why the Labour Party and its Left-wing fellow travellers tried so very hard to get rid of Priti Patel. The Home Secretary has characteristically refused to buckle in the face of a Leftist onslaught designed to dismantle essential parts of this country’s immigration controls. Indeed, she has even had the audacity to embark on a counter-attack.

At stake is the right of the Home Office – and indeed its duty – to protect the public by deporting foreign criminals to their country of origin once they have served prison sentences. One such deportation flight, involving Jamaican nationals, went ahead this week despite last-minute legal challenges cutting the numbers removed by two-thirds.

The flight was a cause of outrage for many Labour MPs. Their complaint was not that it was insufficient and that many more overseas criminals should also be removed before they have the chance to perpetrate further crimes against constituents, but just the opposite.

SCORES of Labour MPs, backed by leading Liberal Democrats, decided that the deportations were an outrageous infringement of the rights of the criminals concerned, including killers, rapists and drug-dealers.
