Angry Clarke hits out at UN in deportation row

British home secretary Charles Clarke angrily hit out at the United Nations today after a senior official warned that Britain’s plans to deport foreign Islamic extremists breached its international human rights obligations.

The clash came as Mr Clarke announced that the exclusion and deportation of so-called “preachers of hate” from the UK would begin within days under the government’s new list of “unacceptable behaviours”.
