Immigration authorities insist asylum deportations borrow from European best practice.
"The government has made it clear it will take a robust approach to removing people from the country who have no legal right to be here. This is always done in the most sensitive way possible, treating those being removed with courtesy and dignity."

Spokeswoman for The Home Office, quoted on BBC News, 170905

With failed asylum seekers in Glasgow this week being dragged out of their beds in a dawn raid,

the Home Office insist they are using best practice derived from European experience.

As a government spokesnazi now explains : "We work for The Home Office which means we have the right to barge into someone’s home anytime we feel like it."

It is thought this singular approach of the thorny question of human rights - mainly involving trampling over said rights, has borrowed heavily from past European experience,

specifically the sensitive and caring approach taken by the Gestapo between 1933 and 1945.

With kids at Drumchapel High School taking the lead in trying to protect the Kosovan family concerned from thugs in suits, The JT looks forward to the Scottish Executive applauding this spontaneous and inspiring example of community action, though I wouldn’t hold my breath if I were you.
