PRITI PATEL’S plans to impose visa sanctions on countries if they refuse to accept deportees from Britain will lead to “more discrimination against black and brown people” a charity warned today. 

It comes as reports suggest the Home Secretary is planning on drawing up a “league table” of nations based on their co-operation with Britain’s deportation regime.
