A Colombian migrant who committed 27 offences to fund his drug and drink habit and who violated a restraining order against his former partner has avoided deportation under ECHR human rights rules for “family life”. The Telegraph has more.
The “persistent” Colombian offender has amassed 12 convictions since arriving in Britain as a teenager in the 1990s and has also been jailed for breaching a restraining order against his former partner, an immigration tribunal was told.
Despite his offending, a lower tier tribunal judge ruled that the 46 year-old migrant could remain in the UK as there would be “very significant obstacles” for him if he were to return to Colombia.
She said the man was “fragile” owing to mental ill health and his deportation would also be too “harsh” on his son, who has “undiagnosed autism”, breaching his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) Article 8, which entitles people to a family life.
The Home Office criticised this ruling and has since successfully applied to have it reheard.
The case, disclosed in court papers, is the latest example exposed by the Telegraph where failed asylum seekers or convicted foreign criminals have attempted to halt their deportations, often by claiming breaches of their human rights.
There are a record 41,987 outstanding immigration appeals, largely on human rights grounds, which threaten to hamper Labour’s efforts to fast-track removal of illegal migrants.
The Colombian – who was granted anonymity – arrived in the UK when he was 16 years old. He was rejected for asylum but was granted indefinite leave to remain in 2007.
Judge Sandip Kudhail described him as a “persistent offender”. In 2016, he was convicted of breach of a restraining order over his former partner – with whom he shares a child – and was handed an eight week prison sentence. This was extended by 11 weeks for three previous driving offences.
In February 2020, the man was detained pending removal under a deportation order but after judicial review proceedings, the removal directions were deferred and further representations were lodged. Some three years later, the Home Secretary refused his leave to remain. But, the man appealed this.
In October 2024, First-tier Tribunal Judge Phull granted him permission to remain in the UK under article eight of the ECHR. She found he had lived in the UK “lawfully for over half his life” while his “working, relationships, friendships and medical issues demonstrated he was socially and culturally integrated”.

And yet ‘he’ wanted another 4 years … or rather the Biden whisperers did.
Now that’s disinformation.
But why, exactly, do America’s real rulers want creatures like the Biden-dolt or the Harris-halfwit to be president of the United States? What’s the gain they’re hoping for?
But the puppeteer gets all of the control without appearing in public.
They’re just brainwashed, and have totally swallowed the relentless “Orange Man Bad” propaganda.
Despite the overwhelming evidence that the media lies like a cheap watch some people still switch on and watch it, and believe it.
As (Twain?) said, “It is easier to fool someone than to convince them they have been fooled.”
Now Orange Man is pretty far from perfect, but given the alternative he positively shines in comparison. And I don’t recall the division there is now under POTUS 45.
As an aside, if anyone fancies some mild entertainment, check out The Dor Brothers on YouTube. It’s absolutely stunning, and not a little unnerving.

Lots of money obviously.
Because it’s a good legitimate cover for their behind the scenes looting spree
Poor old sod thought he was President of the USA.
I don’t think he even thought that!
So, and we have people… and listen, there are people who…. so. Ah shucks… And America, Medicare has foreign… Coming through the door of this great… Huh. Syria, Russia, Guatemala, Germany, Chile, the President has, er… It’s vital that the planet air y’see. Children need er… OK that’s me done here. God Bless! They’re telling me…. er…. now where was it… IT’S NOT RIGHT! KEEP … ER … Ok folks…
What worries me is just what the Biden administration is doing in its last days to compromise the Trump presidency.
We have the same mental incapacity problem here, but at the other end of the age scale. Our ‘leaders’ are immature adolescents who only have one skill, which is to shout out loudly everthing that their superiors have told them to…
And a total inability to practise critical thinking.
Peter Mandelson to be the next ambassador to the U.S;

The whispering snake, as portrayed on Spitting Image.
“The extent of Jeffrey Epstein’s contact with former UK cabinet minister Lord Peter Mandelson is laid bare in a newly released report that describes repeated meetings between the disgraced financier and the politician he knew as “Petie”. The internal JPMorgan report from 2019, filed to a New York court on Tuesday, found that “Jeffrey Epstein appears to maintain a particularly close relationship with Prince Andrew the Duke of York and Lord Peter Mandelson, a senior member of the British government”.

Excellent that this has been published, just at the right moment.
The Dark Lord rises again.
Not just the White House. Almost all of the media also covered up his dementia.
It’s hard to decide where the biggest crooks and liars reside: politics, or the MS media?
They hid it during the 2020 Presidential campaign. He was already suffering from dementia when he was nominated, which is why they kept him locked in the basement until the votes were counted.
Votes counted and then the required additional votes printed and counted.
Nope they didn’t hide it. —-We could all see it.
Yes, “we” could all see it, but there are so many grifters and useful idiots in the USA and in the world who found it in their interest to ignore and go along with the lie.
Communists want power. It doesn’t matter to them if the power is competent. They are evil minded simpletons.
Given that Belgium prospered for many years with no government at all, it is possible to argue that cabbages, lettuces, octopii and other seers might make the best governors of all; benevolent despots that at least offer decent nutrition as expiation for policy blunders?
Dementia does not appear overnight and is progressive. It is certain his wife and family members and close associates knew this before he stood for election.
Anyone observing and paying attention – public, media – seeing the obvious signs during his Presidency would work backwards and realise this. The White House doctor would certainly have been aware from day one of the Presidency of his condition.
The cover-up started before the Primaries electing him as candidate.
