Unbelievable

Hypocrites everywhere. Labour's David Lammy lambasted (appropriate word) the govt. last week in Parliament because of the repatriation of Jamaicans, those that had committed serious criminal offences.
                      To quote Lammy in Parliament;

"You can see the way the (Tory) govt. holds in such disrespect the contribution of West Indian, Caribbean and Black people in this country. When will Black lives matter again?"

Why is he a hypocrite? Because he was a Labour minister in the Blair govt.
He was a promoted minister under the Brown govt. when they passed the legislation;
                                                          'UK Borders Act',

"Which allows automatic deportation of some foreign nationals in two circumstances; if they are imprisoned for specific offences or they are imprisoned for more than 1 year."

Lammy voted for that piece of legislation to be passed! 
Now a Tory govt uses HIS legislation, he screams foul. Hypocritical loser.

When you think about it, most of the worst decisions ever made (or tried to alter ...e.g. Brexit), have been made by people from a 'legal' background.
I firmly believe lawyers should not be allowed anywhere near our Parliament.
We need more 'ordinary' people of an engineering/artisan/medical/common-sense background, than the arty farty legal 'profession'.
More slippery than snakes.

Lammy is a fog horn on legs and like a fog horn has little meaningful content, just a BIG noise.

How does deporting convicted criminals' disrespect other black people? Surely the majority of black people would be glad to see them deported too. How dare he link the contribution of decent black peoples with convicted criminals?
Is Lammy seriously saying all black people have an affinity with all other black people regardless? That would be patronising tosh.'
They can deport as many white people as they want while they're at it as well, I won't feel disrespected at all.
