The Government is not in charge of migration unless it bins the HRA and ECHR… rich, liberal, unelected judges are
The Human Rights Act and the ECHR allow liberal judges to create precedent on a whim
Borders bilge
BRITAIN’S borders now look wide open to all-comers — even Gazan refugees the Arab world shuns.
Keir Starmer has tried to wave away a judge’s outrageous decision to give sanctuary to a Gaza family as just a loophole he is busy closing. There is no loophole.

This family of six, rightly rejected under the Ukraine scheme they are not part of, simply then benefited from the European Convention on Human Rights, which will remain holy writ in the UK as long as Sir Keir is in power.
What is to stop many more Gazans using it too? Or anyone, from anywhere?
It doesn’t even matter now what the Government wants. The Human Rights Act and the ECHR allow liberal judges to create precedent on a whim.
For them a migrant’s “right to a family life” trumps British taxpayers’ rights, or any other consideration.

Which is why an Albanian criminal can dodge deportation because his son doesn’t fancy foreign chicken nuggets.
And a Pakistani paedophile who blamed his wife’s illness for him grooming little girls was backed by a judge.
Most Labour MPs couldn’t care less about migration.
Consider Stella Creasy, wittering on about Paddington as if small-boat illegals are as deserving of our embrace as a cuddly cartoon bear.

The Government’s tough talk is a pose. Unless it bins the HRA and ECHR, and it won’t, it’s not even in charge of migration.
Rich, liberal, unelected judges are.

Freed to kill
LIKE the Southport girls, murdered MP David Amess was failed by Prevent.
His killer Ali Harbi Ali, an Islamic State wannabe, was processed by the Government deradicalisation unit and released far too soon as “low-risk”.
Southport monster Axel Rudakubana wasn’t even deemed worthy of its attention despite his terrorism obsession.
Those are not the only cases laid at Prevent’s door. The Southport inquiry must analyse its serial failures.
We welcome, meanwhile, the new judge-led probe into Valdo Calocane’s triple killings in Nottingham.
Not a Prevent case, but another savage brute who slipped through the net.
It is vital we understand how.
Own goal
WE have long been troubled by the Government’s plan for a state football regulator.
The intentions are noble enough:
To give fans more power, block dodgy owners and prevent any breakaway European Super League.
But the Premier League is the jewel in our sporting crown. Bureaucrats forcing clubs to redistribute their riches among smaller ones is a socialist idea bound to yield typically dismal socialist results.
