Asylum seekers are abusing human rights laws to resist their deportation from Britain, the Home Office has admitted.Findings from Shabana Mahmood's department showed that illegal migrants were fighting their removal by deploying Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the right to private and family life.The enshrined article has been manipulated as a way for asylum seekers to defy state-ordered deportation and, as a result, Britain has been called on to rip up the UK's commitment to the ECHR.The usage of the article has led to cases, including the notorious case, where an Albanian criminal dodged deportation because his son turned his nose up at foreign chicken nuggets.
