Supreme Court: Criminal can’t be deported to country with worse healthcare than UK

[Counselor706]

Britain’s Supreme Court has thrown the country’s deportation policies into chaos by ruling that a foreign criminal cannot be deported to a country with poorer free healthcare than the United Kingdom.

Justices including the top court’s infamous former president, Lady Hale, and two colleagues who also serve as ad hoc members of the European Court of Human Rights, agreed with a Zimbabwean migrant who should have been deported more than a decade ago that his removal would breach Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which states that “No-one shall be subjected to torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”.

The migrant’s lawyers cleverly reinterpreted this European article, understood by most to be a prohibition against physical torture and holding people in unsanitary conditions, as a right for his client to remain in Britain so long as his home country could not provide him with the same expensive, taxpayer-funded HIV medication as the British National Health Service (NHS) free of charge — and the Supreme Court concurred.

The infection spreads

The infection of socialism continues to spread as human society becomes more and more ill. One would think that the history of socialism would have generated an immunity to future infections but each new generation sees it as a new great idea regardless of what history tells us. Socially no memory T cells in the body.

Considering that they seem to believe that every other health care system is inferior to their own, I'd say this presents a problem for authorities. I suppose that summary execution is out of the question.

Not in Ammurikha where the vulnerable are sacrificed (executed, semantics really) for the almighty $. USA! USA!
