Shabir Ahmed being blocked from deportation to Pakistan is 'unacceptable', Chris Philp tells GB News
Chris Philp has told GB News that Britain must get tougher on countries who refuse to take back their criminals, following the release of Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabir Ahmed.Speaking to host Christopher Hope, Mr Philp said: I think it's unacceptable. If a UK citizen overseas commits a crime or is in another country illegally, of course we take them back and the same should apply for every other country around the world, including Pakistan.
