So the leader of the Green Party pops up on Good Morning Britain to tell us it doesn't make sense to deport Shabir Ahmed. The man who ran the Rochdale grooming gang. The one convicted of raping girls as young as 13. Apparently sending him back to Pakistan would break some sacred rule of law.
Let's get this straight. Ahmed got 22 years. Served about 14. Released early July. Stripped of his British citizenship. Pakistan won't take him. And now he's wandering around under tag and an exclusion zone around Rochdale. Where the victims live. Where their families still wake up every day knowing what he did.
Polanski's line was crystal clear. Deportation decisions shouldn't be made case by case. If Ahmed is still a threat, keep him in a British prison rather than export the problem. As GB News reported, he argued we must follow the rule of law above all.
Rule of law? The same rule of law that let these gangs operate for years because police and social workers didn't want to look racist? The same authorities who ignored parents begging for help? That rule of law protected the perpetrators, not the girls.
Ahmed wasn't some unlucky migrant caught up in a paperwork nightmare. He was the daddy of the operation. Multiple rapes. Trafficking. The lot. And after all that, we're told case-by-case consideration is somehow dangerous. What planet are these people on?
The victims don't get case-by-case excuses
The girls didn't get to argue their age or background or anything else. They were prey. British working-class girls mostly. Overlooked. Dismissed. Their suffering turned into an inconvenient statistic for the diversity box-tickers.
