  As far as article 8 goes, Peter, there is no reason why a criminal cannot be deported. It is covered in the first two paragraphs:
  
  
  Article 8: Right to Respect for Private and Family Life
  
  1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
  
  2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.
  
  With reference to immigrants it is clear from the European Convention on Human Rights that:
  
  "The Home Office can also decide to deport someone on the grounds that his or her presence is 'not conducive to the public good'".
