**Now New Labour even import rapists and criminals from abroad.
A murderer and serial rapist deported to Britain from Australia at the end of his prison sentence just four months ago has been charged with an appalling sex attack on a pensioner.
The 50-year-old man was born in Britain but had lived in Australia since he was two.
He was kicked out under that country's tough policy on foreigners who abuse their residency.
Police had voiced concerns that he would re-offend but lack of resources meant he could not be placed under 24-hour surveillance.
He is alleged to have attacked a woman in her 70s in a central London street earlier this month, attempting to rape her and stabbing her in the hands and face.
The victim was hospitalised for days. He was arrested days later after police seized CCTV footage from near the scene.
He appeared in court earlier this week accused of causing grievous bodliy harm, attempted rape and two other sex assault charges.
He will remain in custody until his trial.
Last night, an inquiry was launched into the incident, which raises serious questions about the ability of the police and probation service to monitor dangerous offenders expelled to Britain.
Although the man had spent virtually all his life Down Under, Australia's tough immigration policies, which contrast starkly with the softly-softly approach adopted in Britain, meant he had to leave the country after he finished his sentence.
The man emigrated with his family to Australia in 1960.
He was convicted of murder in the early 1990s and served 16 years in prison.
Previously he had been jailed for six rapes, all on elderly women, which took place all over Australia, including in Canberra and Queensland.
He was released from prison last August and escorted back to Heathrow by Australian police in December.
The man was handed over to British detectives and probation officers and moved to accommodation in East London, where he was kept under supervision.
The murder in Australia was committed just weeks after he finished a long jail term for rape, and risk assessments suggested there was a strong possibility he would re-offend after his return to the UK.
The suspect was living above a pub in East London when he was arrested over the attack.
He had told staff there that he had been deported from Australia and was back in Britain "on licence".
They are now asking why they were not told he was a convicted killer and rapist.
They said arresting officers told them: "We couldn't tell anyone because it may breach his human rights."
The suspect is one of a number of British-born offenders who have been expelled by the Australian authorities after spending most of their lives Down Under.
**Strange they can never kick scum out of this nation - thanks to Mr Blair/Brown's Human Rights Act - an you can bet that no politician will be stepping forward to apologize to the victim for their rights being abused by this imported scum.
