If Theresa May wants to show how tough she is, she should first start deporting Muslim hate preachers who poison the minds even of children, in schools and mosques.

She should also get rid of the sex-grooming gangs who pry on vulnerable underage girls.

The Russian spy case no way compares with the amount of damage hate preachers and sex-grooming gangs do to British society. There is no punishment hard enough for these two evils.

May would deserve more credit if she were as quick to deport hate preachers as the 23 Russian diplomats who were shown the door in just a week or so of the nerve agent case.
