This man was trafficked into Britain, in ways which the government would now use to make him subject to deportation. According to a leading political pundit, he brought with him ancestral violence, which means that he *and his British-born children* should be expelled.

Councils warn that authorities could go bankrupt by March 2028 without urgent structural reform
Special educational needs services in England face “total collapse” with councils on course to have run up debts of £18bn by the end of the decade as a result of increasing numbers of children requiring extra teaching support in schools.
