No he was not here legally, he entered illegally and abused a system that was designed to prevent a hard border on the Island of Ireland. Ie he was not British or Irish, he should have been arrested - It was a blatant abuse of an agreement that had worked for decades. No the resources are not there because the guy shouldn't have been in the UK. Rubber stamping his stay until 2028 has already been stated by politicians as bucking the system, not those words obviously. It's a pisstake and this is the reason people are getting angry, especially when they go on and try and behead people in the street. If you abuse the system and use the route not designed for your free passage, you are here by illegal means.
I thought he was given leave to remain back in 2022 ?
