Clapham acid attacker - asylum seeker convicted of sex offence but still granted asylum?

He must have been in excruciating pain and possibly blinded judging by the pictures posted. Maybe he just couldn't stand it any more and knew he had no future?

If the Police are doing their jobs properly they will scour every bit of cctv footage to trace those two white vans. There are cameras everywhere now, it should be possible. It's very important, in fact essential, to make sure he is not still out there.

I’m wondering, a despicable act such as this one - could it be an act of suicide in itself, the precursor to the perpetrator going on to take their own life?

It's an act of domestic violence and suicide often follows.

It's a final act of control to some abusers.

You’re right Galaxy, that’s often the sequence of events. It amounts to a total annihilation of all conscience.

Yes, MissAdventure, that too.

So I think it’s not unlikely that this man has ended his own life.

I wonder if Londoners in the 1900s would have called my grandfather in law scum or a low life? I suppose they probably would.

Did he throw acid over women and children?

But Nannashirlz doesn’t appear to single out immigrants who commit such obscene acts when she uses her discriminatory language, does she?

And here is another article about 500 baptisms this time. Again it seems to be the Baptist Church who are being played for fools. The pastor seems to think a dip in the cold sea is enough to test their Christian faith! I despair.

The Daily Mail is certainly doing its bit in highlighting this problem, and hopefully something will be done as a result.

So-called conversions to the Christian faith should be disregarded when the granting of asylum is decided.

They are making a mockery of the Christian faith.

The Minister is a fool.

Maybe they would have done but I thought we'd learned to be better than that. Obviously not!

Christian faiths - plural - still largely encourage mysoginy and the view that women are "property" to be used, abused and disposed of at will. Too many men have the attitude "well, if I can't have you I'll make sure nobody can!"
Is Christianity the mark of civilisation? Don't make me laugh......

Golly mae13, that's rather a claim. I'm a Christian and have never seen this . My current minister, and her predecessor, both feisty intelligent women, would not have had any truck with such nonsense. No sayings of Jesus support this view.
As with others on this thread I have very real concerns about my faith being ( potentially) exploited but I hope that my life as a Christian does show some aspects of " civilisation ".

Ah well at least have had a laugh at 'The Daily Mail is doing its bit'

Bravo,brave little Mail.

At least they're coming out and saying what people think. Otherwise we'll disappear as a British culture due to politeness and unwillingness to speak up for ourselves for fear of seeming unkind

Really ?

Why? What’s the Daily Mail said?

What’s your evidence to back up that statement mae?

Maeve - Christianity is not as you describe

You seem very bitter about Christianity Mae. I wonder why? I was brought up as a Christian and your description isn't remotely like my experience.

Well if he had attacked women and children or was a paedophile like another one claiming to be Christian then the answer would be yes. I trust he was neither of those.

Not so silly or mad after all possibly?
