I certainly don't trust myself to express my views on this without swearing because it makes me so angry:(:(:(.

I don't even need to click the link to know which story you refer to. My view, give people who are genuinely at risk in their own country a chance to build a life in ours. Break the law, chance over, one way ticket back. Any opposing views?
-
Nope..
-
Me neither!!!
-
Agree with Mr Houston, play by the rules, pay your taxes and what!!! [:(!]makes my blood boil,
-
No opposition from me...Just that I would deny him of ALL his human rights if this was my daughter (Just tell me where he lives)!! It's a travisty, Section 8 of the human rights act is "...the right to respect for private and family life"
Using this maybe we should release EVERY prisoner as we keep them from their family??
What about the poor childs right to family life??
It makes me SOOOOOOO Angry!!![:(!][:(!][:(!]
-
Call me cynical but why do I wonder whether he married his English wife just so he COULD stay[:(!] And, forgive me for saying so, are they on benefits?
-
Its disgusting, was about to say could not believe my eyes when I read the story yesterday but I can believe it! The girls poor father, and rest of the family, its awful. He gets a life of luxury over here while we pay for it, how wrong is that!
-
Some cases of this type are difficult to determine but I have no doubt about this particular case. The judges may have interpreted the law according to its wording but surely it was never intended to produce this kind of result. It is perverse.
-
I agree with everyone.
-
Absolutely appalling.
-
the 2 immigration officials must be the only people in the whole country who agree this person can stay-disgraceful.
-
This is without doubt one of the most appalling decisions ever made to let this scumbag remain in the UK.He only served 4 months in prison and that is a joke [:(!] and he has allegedly been caught driving again whilst banned. The family of that poor girl have been terribly let down.
As a father I am sure that I would seek retribution.
Who are these legal morons that make these judgements,and if they are parents how do they sleep at night.
-
In all seriousness, I must suggest that now his repulsive mug has appeared on tv, that a return to Iraq may be the safest option for him. I can't imagine his safety is guaranteed in Blackburn.
-
I fear you maybe right.

This was discussed on Jeremy Vine's Radio 2 show yesterday and he actually spoke to Mr Houston about the day his daughter died and his campaign to have the man deported. My respect for Mr Houston has more than doubled after listening to him because of his composure, he seemed very level headed about what he knew of the law, he wasn't demanding execution or ranting and raving; he simply wanted to know why this man was behind the wheel when he shouldn't have been, and how he has been able to walk away from so many crimes and still live a free man. He is a very strong man to not want to rip the guys head off.
I find it so sad too that man has had two children (most likely not out of love) to stay in this country, while Mr Houston no longer has a family and cannot do so, where is the justice in that? Cameron has once again let people down again after writing to this man during the election campaign saying he would help. None of that from him as of yet but I wouldn't have expected better.
If you are going to live in this country then it is only fair that you abide by our laws, try to make a living for yourself and generally live as a respecting citizem of the UK - otherwise the door should be shut.
-
That's the whole problem Tiddlywinks. As UK citizens the majority of us DO abide by the law and get our knuckles rapped if we don't. The immigrants who come here just flout the laws (continuously), don't seem to want to understand the way this country works and constantly get away with it because they are 'immigrants, oppressed, stupid' whatever.
This man has no intention of abiding by the law because he has got away with SO many crimes he thinks justice is a joke. And you're right, he probably did get married/have children to stay.
Why couldn't they have said 'you're a criminal, not welcome here, go home'? And if his wife family didn't like it they could have gone with him to Iraq?
I'm spitting bullets, seen it time and time again[:(!][:(!]
-
As a parallel of sorts, had I done the same, and committed the same list of crimes as a Brit living in Turkey, do you think the Turkish Government would have had MY human rights in mind?
-
Too right Scunner! What annoys me and many of my friends is the fact 'If a British born' person had committed these crimes they would have been sentenced to many years in prison! It is a sad state of our society that we are not only forced to keep him in our country but the taxpayers have to keep him in the style that he has now become accustomed!! As for our leader Cameron saying -He hoped the Border Control Agency would appeal the decision to allow him to stay - Have we lost all control of our country???
Due to the test for the CBF no swearing rule I felt I wasn't allowed to say what I really wanted!!! Well everybody .... I hold my hands up and say I've failed the test! B&**£y F^$(&%G S£%*_!G!!!!!
