Trenton Oldfield, an Australian, went for a swim last year in the Thames at the same time as the Cambridge v Oxford boat race was taking place. He was making a point. He felt that the race was an elitist anchronism and that much the same could be said of London generally. These are hardly sensational or rarely held opinions, even if they were unconventionally expressed.
Astonishingly he has been deported from the UK, following the serving of a six month jail term for his misplaced bout of recreation, itself an incredibly harsh sentence. He has apparently been told that "he must learn to obey the laws of this country whilst in it".
Mr Oldfield is an easy target. He is white, male, Australian and probably not a Muslim . So the judge will have felt safe in his sentencing, and the immigration authorities will have felt safe in their absurd and draconian behaviour in deporting him.
Contrast this with the ridiculous circus surrounding the likes of Abu Qatada and Abu Hamza, who spent years between them preaching hate and inciting violence in this country.
The immigration authorities spent these years hiding behind any excuse they could find rather than deal with these odious men, and many others like them. The immigration authorities are still doing this, as are the police who repeatedly ignore crimes of this nature.
The likes of Hamza and Qatada are Muslims, therefore they must be tolerated and indulged in a way that disgusts every decent man and woman in this country, or at least those who do not need the BBC to think for them
You are well out of it Trenton. .
