Judge who controversially allowed knife-wielding drug dealer to stay in UK was on pro-asylum charity board
Judge Beach's apparent conflict of interest 'undermines confidence' in the courts MIGRANT 'NO THREAT' Judge who controversially allowed knife-wielding drug dealer to stay in UK was on pro-asylum charity board Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A JUDGE who controversially allowed a knife-wielding drug dealer to stay in the UK was on the board of a pro-asylum charity. Fiona Beach declared Christian Quadjovie, 26, was not a threat to the public. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up The French-born crook had been locked up for a total of 963 days since arriving here aged ten in 2009. But he was granted a reprieve by Judge Beach, an ex-director at Asylum Aid who represented migrants for free on behalf of the Bail for Immigration Detainees charity. The decision has since been overturned after Government lawyers claimed her judgment was 'made against the weight of evidence'. Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick said Judge Beach's apparent conflict of interest 'undermines confidence' in the courts. He added: 'This is the latest example of an immigration judge with open borders views. 'The similarity between her decisions and the political views she has broadcast totally undermines confidence in the system. Judges must be independent.' Last night, in a letter seen by The Sun on Sunday, Mr Jenrick made a formal request to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office to probe whether Judge Beach, 54, had declared her previous roles. In 2005 and 2007, she was listed in a 'thank you' section of the Bail in Immigration annual report, and named as a barrister volunteering to represent its clients in court. Records show she was a director of Asylum Aid between September 2004 and February 2007. Judicial sources insisted she stepped back from the group in December 2006 when appointed as a part-time judge. Sun probe uncovers asylum seekers in hotels linked to string of rape cases In 2018 she was made a salaried tribunal judge. She first heard Quadjovie's case in April 2024. He was first convicted as a boy of 12 after sexually assaulting a girl under 13. In 2016, he was given a nine-month referral order for carrying a knife in public. Later that year, he was convicted of drug offences. He was detained for 30 months and caught with more drugs after his release. The Home Office tried to deport him but he argued he would not be able to reintegrate in France. A judiciary spokesman said all judges took an oath to remain impartial. He added: 'In each case, judges make decisions based on the evidence and arguments presented, and apply the law as it stands.' 1 A judge declared Christian Quadjovie was not a threat to the public

Scots kids safeguarding boss attacked girl, 12, by seizing her hair and hauling her to floor
HORROR ASSAULT Scots kids safeguarding boss attacked girl, 12, by seizing her hair and hauling her to floor Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A KIDS' safeguarding boss has been convicted of attacking a 12-year-old schoolgirl. Laurie Black, 45, shouted and swore at the terrified youngster then seized her hair and hauled her to the floor. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Oban Sheriff Court heard how Black grabbed her hair and dragged her to the ground Credit: Alamy The education support officer previously appeared before MSPs and told them how children were becoming more aggressive in schools. Argyll and Bute Council has now been slammed for refusing to reveal if the 'bully' has been sacked or disciplined. A source yesterday told The Scottish Sun on Sunday: 'Black is supposed to be somebody parents and children trust. 'Families go to her when they need help looking after kids. They are shocked. 'Nobody would have guessed she was hiding in plain sight — that wee girl must have been terrified. 'Her bravery has exposed Black for the bully she is. She should never be allowed to work with wee ones again. 'The lack of transparency from the council just reeks.' Oban Sheriff Court heard how Black snatched the girl by her clothes in February before grabbing her hair and dragging her to the ground. She was also being found guilty of shouting, swearing and acting aggressively. The Australian has worked as a principal teacher of support in schools for children with additional support needs (ASN) and managed teams for Argyll and Bute Council. Her work brought her into contact with vulnerable kids and some prone to challenging behaviour. Mum accused of killing baby girl by 'burning her to death with hairdryer' in Scots home Black previously told Holyrood's education committee about rising tensions in classrooms while she was convener of the EIS teaching union's ASN Network. She said frustrated pupils were lashing out at staff leaving them 'distressed' and in need of 'respite'. Argyll and Bute Council said: 'We cannot comment on individuals.' Black will be sentenced next month. She declined to comment.

Ten million drivers suffer pothole damage in past three years with huge amount delaying repairs
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) TEN million motorists have suffered pothole damage to vehicles in the past three years, a poll found. And 2.4 million have skipped or delayed getting it fixed. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Ten million motorists have suffered pothole damage to vehicles in the past three years The average bill for repairs is £144 — putting the total UK cost at up to £1.7billion a year. While road craters cause the biggest unexpected repair bill, the survey of 2,000 motorists also revealed that more than five million are driving potentially unsafe vehicles because they cannot afford to fix all other issues as well. Of 2,000 drivers polled, 15 per cent had ignored vehicle warning lights and mechanics and often try to do repairs themselves to save cash. Across all 34.6 million motorists, that would mean 5.1 million ignored advice. But 37 per cent said delaying fixing damage cost them more in the long run. ClickMechanic also found men are more likely than women to ignore an MOT advisory — 16 per cent compared with 12 per cent of women. The car service site's boss Andrew Jervis said: 'Millions of potentially unsafe vehicles are likely on the roads. "It is not worth the risk — ignoring what may initially be minor makes repairs more expensive to resolve.'
