OK I know it's a play on words but a Brit who moved to Australia with his family as a boy of six has been deported back to the UK after committing a string of crimes. Clifford Tucker was put on a plane to London despite having lived in Australia for more than 40 years. Tucker, 47, served 12 years in jail for three crimes including the attempted murder of a police officer came to the attention of Australian immigration officers on his return from a holiday in Bali in 2008.
He has been in trouble with the law since the age of 11and in 1983 he was jailed after opening fire on a police officer, seriously wounding him. The Aussies gave him £2500 to tide him over in London but after that the UK taxpayer will be forced to foot the bill until he gets a job.
UKIP's Gerard Batten said last night: "Its absurd that this man is being sent from Australia after 40 years. But it highlights the absurdity that we cannot deport foreign criminals who have been here for five minutes."
