As for deportation, I don't agree with it. Are we now going to deport everyone who has committed a crime? Rapists, murderers too? They held British citizenship...they have completed their time in prison (which btw, the sentences were disgusting but that's the CPS for you).

It needs to be fair across the board. They committed the crime in this country of which they have British citizenship... In the eyes of the law, their time is spent.

I have a completely different view whereby there might be a national security threat, ie terrorism, then deportation is maybe a necessity.

I tend to agree with this, and I think it would be unfair to punish their families for their wrong doings by deporting them
