Migrant madness: We cannot deport shoplifter because he's 'looking for work as a shepherd'



Marian Anghel, 59, had been caught stealing £600 worth of goods from a supermarket.

He was wearing a suit but told police that he had come to Nelson, Lancs, to look for work rounding up sheep.

Anghel claimed he had left his “shepherd’s clothes” at home 70 miles away when he came to the town, which has a population of 30,000.

He admitted theft at Burnley magistrates court but escaped jail with community service, an 18-week curfew and £320 in fines and costs.

Police had applied for a deportation certificate and this was supported by magistrates who found the Romanian’s story "rather unbelievable".

However a district judge decided not to deport Anghel who had arrived in the UK six months ago.

Offenders from the European Union can be deported if they are given two-year jail sentences or one year if they are convicted of sex or drug offences.

Romanians have to prove they are "actively looking for work" to take advantage of the EU’s freedom of movement laws.
Ukip MEP Paul Nuttall said: “It is incredibly difficult to deport any criminals if they are from another EU country.

“However ridiculous his claim is that he is looking for work as a shepherd, we have to abide by the rules that if he says he is looking for work we can’t get rid of him.

“If anyone thinks like me, it is ridiculous we can’t deport someone that has come here, never done a day’s work, only ever committed crime here yet is still entitled to free treatment on the NHS, they should perhaps take the issue up with their newly elected pro-EU Member of Parliament.”

It's never wise to base an opinion on an isolated incident
