A Criminal Even Before He Was An Immigrant

The Home Office, which is zealous enough when dragging harmless cleaners away from their daughters' weddings, has managed to let a convicted double murderer into the country because the minions of Daveybloke's mad old cat lady failed to file the necessary paperwork on time. Both major branches of the British Neoliberal Party are duly huffing and puffing: the Real Conservatives because it's all the fault of the previous administration and the Human Rights Act, and the Wannabe Conservatives because the gentleman in question hasn't been in prison nearly long enough and there is no such thing as a reformed criminal. The man, a Bangladeshi, is married to a British woman and they have three children who are British citizens; but evidently the couple's income is not sufficient to mitigate the enhanced risk to public safety that will inevitably result from the immigration tribunal's awkward adherence to family values and the letter of the law.
