> Gersham Williams, 74, who first arrived in the UK in 1961 at the age of 10, was deported in August 2016 **after being convicted of and serving a sentence in relation to a firearms conspiracy conviction**
It’s a shame his deportation order was revoked.
However, all of this could have been avoided if he had decided to not break the law.
Another data point in the scrapbook demonstrating the British states active hostility to its own people. We managed to get rid of a criminal, making our country a tad safer and now we are giving him the option to return to Britain.
> The Guardian published a report about a July 1983 conviction received by Williams and two others for an armed hold-up of a petrol station. The court heard that he had described himself as a Robin Hood raising money for community projects and told police: “You people sold my people into slavery and I’m fighting back.”
Oh great he’s a black power lunatic as well, lol.
It doesn’t make any sense to deport him, especially if he came with his parents at the age of 10. In addition, his parents were likely British citizens at the time. If he had come as an adult, then I could see the point of the original decision.
The Guardian’s going to try to make as much out of these cases as it possibly can, doing its best to cast violent criminals as cuddly friendly neighbours who we should be pleased to have back in the country. To mooch off our benefits system and cost our NHS money, to boot.
These cases are all people who said they were in the UK before the Immigration Act but didn’t have any documentation to prove it. If you live somewhere for 50 years and choose not to become a citizen or document your presence there’s some level of personal responsibility for your status too. Indeed, this guy explicitly chose *not* to get citizenship.
It is technically a correct decision and so it’s probably a good thing that we’ve ended up here, but the G is trying to use it to make a wider political case about not deporting foreign criminals at all.
Regardless of the morals and laws of whether he should stay or go. It’s a shame we can’t all just look at it from the perspective that he’s a human and needs help. I get it rose tinted glasses etc.
I really wish we were able to see and treat everyone as equals. Man I miss visiting utopia in my dreams.
