Taxpayers are footing the bill for housing thousands of foreign criminals in the UK because, according to insiders, many of them will “never” be deported. That’s the shocking revelation from the Daily Express, which uncovered how a lack of international return agreements is allowing convicted offenders to stay in the country—often indefinitely.
The situation was laid bare in a no-holds-barred submission to Parliament by Serco, the company responsible for a large chunk of the UK’s asylum accommodation. They told MPs that due to a lack of deportation options, Foreign National Offenders (FNOs), including those tagged under curfew schemes, are being placed into standard asylum housing after serving their prison sentences, reported the Express.
