There seems to be a kind of insanity that has overtaken much of the British political and media elite class. Was it because Tolga Binbuga was a Turkish Muslim that Judge Evan Ruth came to the ridiculous and quite spectacularly insane conclusion that “the likely association of Binbuga with this north London gang is a good example of his integration into one of the less savoury aspects of UK life”? Was Ruth afraid of appearing “Islamophobic” if he ordered this serial criminal deported? Was he afraid that this deportation would provoked a violent response from Britain’s Muslim community? Or is Evan Ruth’s head so filled with nonsense about “diversity” and “multiculturalism” that he can no longer do anything close to thinking straight?
“Turkish criminal is allowed to stay in the UK after judge rules his GANG membership shows he is ‘socially and culturally integrated’ in Britain,” by Chris Dyer, Mailonline, April 9, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Turkish national convicted of a string of offences was allowed to stay in the UK after a judge ruled his gang membership showed he was ‘socially and culturally integrated’.
Tolga Binbuga was convicted of a string of offences including robbery, burglary, assault and a criminal damage.
He was also jailed for a year after pleading guilty to burglary in 2013 after he stole a Mercedes car key along with £3,000 worth of electrical goods from a house in Enfield, north London.
The 29-year-old came to Britain when he was nine and never applied for UK citizenship.
Binbuga was also convicted of cautioned for drug possession and shoplifting.
He joined the north London-based Get Money Gang which the Met Police say are the second most dangerous groups in the country.
When the Home Office tried to deport Binbuga his lawyers appealed saying he was a ‘home grown criminal’, according to the Sun.
In 2016 Judge Evan Ruth ruled Binbuga’s gang affiliation proved he had ‘socially and culturally integrated’ into British culture and he was allowed to stay in the UK, the newspaper reports.
Judge Ruth said: ‘It is a sad and unpleasant fact of life that, in various parts of London, gang culture is an accepted and widespread part of life for many young people.
‘In my view, although it is a sad and unpleasant conclusion, the likely association of Binbuga with this north London gang is a good example of his integration into one of the less savoury aspects of UK life.’
That decision was overturned by the Home Office under appeal in 2017 with judges finding Judge Ruth had ‘erred in law’ by stating that gang membership showed a level of socially integration.
Judges ruled there was no compelling reason to prevent Binbuga’s deportation.
The ruling stated: ‘Membership of a pro-criminal gang shows a lack of such acceptance [of cultural integration]. It demonstrates disdain for the rule of law.’…
Hugh Fitzgerald says
So he was, in the end, when sanity prevailed, deported? But there never should have been any question of his staying.
mortimer says
The judge ‘erred in law’ by disregarding that the criminal behavior of the accused was the actual impediment to his continued residency, not whether he had been ‘integrated’. It is not a crime to be ‘unassimilated’.
It is a crime to join a gang and become an habitual, professional criminal.
Indiana Tom says
But at least you will become a well assimilated habitual professional criminal.
William A Carr says
Judges in all countries seem to be so stupid and incompetent one wonders how they get their positions. They are not worth the paper theirs names are written upon

In 2016 Judge Evan Ruth ruled Binbuga’s gang affiliation proved he had ‘socially and culturally integrated’ into British culture and he was allowed to stay in the UK, the newspaper reports.
In a way the learned judge is right.
DP111 says
Or it could be that Judge Evan Ruth was being sarcastic.
gravenimage says
If the judge was being sarcastic then this Jihadist would have been deported.
CogitoErgoSum says
So Tolga Binbuga represents the state of British society and culture in the 21st century? The judge got at least one thing right: it’s unpleasant and quite sad. This Turkish criminal has disdain for the rule of law — and so does the Judge and a growing number of people living in the UK. So let him stay and remain an active contributor to the state of the culture. Makes sense to me.
gravenimage says
A grim admission.
infidel says
Really.. I’m at a loss for words here. I’m in a genuine fix as to whether to laugh or be outraged!! WTF is happening to the UK?
Westman says
For me it was another “clean the drink from the nostrils moment” immediately after reading the headline. Someone needs to check the UK water supply for mind-altering substances at the courts and at #10.
Here in the US, I suppose that, using UK judicial standards, we should consider MS-13 members, “well integrated”.
Indiana Tom says
The next Democratic plank and platform.
Rufolino says
A sign of the times alright. And what is to come for the UK ?
Tom says
This judge Ruth should be assessed for competence if this is the typical logic he is using in dealing with criminal non citizens.
Those who cannot adhere to the laws of a country in which the criminal is not a citizen should automatically be deported to their country of origin, there should be no room for subjective opinion by anyone.
By showing a disdain and contempt for the laws of a country that has taken the step to allow a person to live there, the criminal is saying they have absolutely no respect for or loyalty to the indigenous society.
Therefore they have no right to be allowed to remain in that country.
Spiro says
Are these people serious
He’s in a gang so he qualifies to stay
Insanity
Jh says
We NEED another Cromwell to put this country straight again and out of the brazen clutches of traitors
mortimer says
No Jh, England needs another Milton, John Bunyan, Wilberforce, Wesley and Churchill to talk to the people and to help them straighten out their thinking.
The ruling classes in England are delusional and dopey, while the working class man Tommy Robinson has his head on straight and a clear eye.
Almost everything the English ruling classes believe in is wrong and yet they are as high as a kite with the intoxication of their arrogant belief in their own infallibility.
Indiana Tom says
Sounds like America.
jarmanray says
This posting should be kept away from the communist led Democrat party in the US since idiots like Sanders, AOC, Omar, Bozo O’Rourke and others will surely try to use this as an example for not deporting MS-13 sub humans. They would take this argument to the 9th Circuit of Appeals and win the case. I am amazed that the judge was overruled.
Stanton Lore says
Misleading article title, since he was deported.
Indiana Tom says
Only after the first ridiculous ruling was overturned. If Judge Evan Ruth had his way the migrant would be happily integrated into the English Way of Life. So at least the title was correct in the context of the Judge’s ruling.
gravenimage says
He wouldn’t have been deported had it been up to this judge, who apparently considered him being a thief, a violent thug, and a gang member proof of his embrace of British values.
gravenimage says
Judge allows Muslim migrant to stay in UK because his gang membership shows his “integration”
…………………………….
Ah…right. Because robbing and assaulting the Infidels is the basis of Western civ…sarc/off
What absolute madness.
UNCLE VLADDI says
They’re all hypocrites – his surmises about integration were not an “error in law” (upon which grounds for appeals fall) but an error in fact (which is not a legal grounds for appeal). ALL of the judges in this case have proven they have failed to comprehend eve the first most basic things about the Law.
Giacomo Latta says
Hey, he robs and burgles and assaults just like the rest of us do. One perfectly integrated yob plus one idiotic judge.
infidel says
I am going to say this regardless…
I don’t know but it feels so right..
My feelings for the NZ shootings are NEUTRAL. of course, I am not going to support hit but I find that the words of condemnation are hard to come to my mouth. I tried hard… and even if I force the words of condemnation out of my mouth, it is just going to be plastic …. and I do not want to be a hypocrite like most Muslims are…..and it feels so right to be neutral
gravenimage says
Jihad Watch condemned the thuggish NZ shooter, and so did most posters here, including myself.
Lauren Hermann says
Infidel, I condemn this horrible act of this mad man, but I understand where you are coming from. We have become calloused to acts of terrorism, because there are so many of them. What angries me more than anything is the mass persecution of Christians. No one seems to care; how can that be??
Here is a site (and there are many of them) which shows you what’s happening:

Dave says
I think the judge should be deported. He is not protecting the British public.
