Summary
Green Party leader Zack Polanski blasts the idea of deporting convicted grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed, arguing he belongs behind bars in Britain since he committed his horrific crimes here — even as Pakistan refuses to take him back, citing UK “spoiling.” With Ahmed, 73, recently released after 14 years, the UK faces a diplomatic standoff, prompting calls to scrap a 1971 law blocking deportation — though Pakistan’s refusal remains a hurdle. Polanski insists on legal consistency over political posturing, as the UK weighs both legislative tweaks and diplomatic pressure to resolve this high-stakes case.
