Quote:	"Whether or not foreigners who break British laws should be sent home should not be a matter of human rights, any more than whether prisoners should be released on parole. Such rights will always run up against the conflicting “rights” of others to be protected from them, rights usually as interpreted in a tabloid headline or a political soundbite."
