Loophole leaves terrorists on streets

Peter Rhodes writes: On the first day of the Coalition, the very first statement signed by David Cameron and Nick Clegg declared: “We are agreed that the first duty of government is to safeguard our national security.” Absolute cobblers.

The first duty of any UK government these days is to jump through all the damn silly hoops dreamed up by the European project.

It is now revealed that about a dozen foreign terrorists who have served sentences, some relating to the failed 2005 bombings in London, are at liberty.

They have appealed against deportation on the grounds that their human rights might be abused in their own countries.

How can our national security be safeguarded when people like this are walking our streets?

And how can politicians promise security when they know full well what is going on?
