I love this - it is very insightful about the human rights industry and the psychology of those who run it. They create this clown world with impunity because although a majority of people find these stories shocking, we do not live in a real democracy where this majority view becomes reflected in our governance. Next GE, most adults will trot along to their polling station and vote for more of the same - a cross in any box does it.
Strident ideologies aside, I'm fairly persuaded by the 'feminisation' of western liberal culture theory. Look at LinkedIn some days and it's men falling over themselves to talk about kindness and caring, checking in on people who are quiet, endless clucking and - inevitably - showing what great feminist allies they are.
"The progressive liberal vision is one in which shit must be simply hidden - " : and look where the luxury beliefs of our so-called betters have led us; to the dark side- the shadow - of the righteous liberals' dogma of not inciting hatred: the oldest hatred is now on display, as braying mobs colonise our streets, brandishing swastikas- which the cops advise should be considered 'in context'; Jewish children bullied on the streets, in hospital wards, synagogues defaced, Israel is repudiated by legions of Useful Idiots and now faces abandonment ,being lectured by the likes of Call me Dave and doddering Biden.
Britain is now in danger of becoming a DINO- a democracy in name only; I keep mentioning this, but see below:
Meanwhile Scotland is now under the progressive cudgel of the Hate Crime legislation and the interests of dangerous criminals take precedence over the interests and safety of female prisoners:
Scotland now resembles Stasi-land as inciting hatred against groups favoured by the Holyrood Commissars threatens to crush any residual semblance of personal freedom; snitching centres are open ,while Police Scotland will no longer investigate petty theft, disorderly behaviour like window smashing and various other misdemeanours.
So, criminals can celebrate the kindly concerned embrace of our progressive inquisitors and legal eagles, as they crack down on the general public.
An obvious response would be to qualify non-refoulement in such a way to limit its application to cases where the person hasn’t brought the associated risk on themselves. But even then how could we be sure that activist judges wouldn’t dilute any such qualification to the point where it became meaningless in practice or find some other grounds to avoid deportation in all cases except those where the subject was wholly cooperative.
What’s needed is root and branch reform of both the legal code and the persons administering it.

"is it better to have more murderous sociopaths in your country, or fewer?" is a great question. Here are two others:
* How much public funding eventually finds its way (one way or another) into the hands of Britain's 'human rights' lawyers?
* Is Human Rights Lawyering the one industry at which Britain truly excels?
I absolutely believe that people deserve a decent defence, but how some human rights advocates sleep at night I’ve no idea.
How pleasant it is to find there are still people in the world who can think straight
All of the above with knobs on.
