What the hell is happening to this country?
Send these scum to Rwanda ASAP.

Totally sick of these violent criminals being allowed to stay here.

Blimey. So there could be even more migrants?

I’m relieved it’s proof he is dead

The woman he attacked will be mightily relieved.

Iam64 Tue 20-Feb-24 17:24:16

She was still icu a few days ago. My work experience of acid attacked was limited but ill never forgot the impact on the victims

Predictable behaviour in a domestic assault. I am glad for her sake.

I'm glad for everyone's sake.

I'm glad he's dead.

She is still very poorly though. I hope the children are being loved and cared for.

Can I qualify that.

I'm glad he's dead for the sake of his ex-partner and the children. The children will not have to grow up in fear that he might suddenly reappear one day.

I agree with you, Callistemon21! There is nothing more nerve wracking than having to keep looking over your shoulder to ensure your abuser is not waiting for you. It makes the whole world seem like a frightening place.

The Court papers released yesterday show an asylum process in complete meltdown. Not only is this Government incapable of coming up with a fair yet robust immigration policy but it shows how simple it is for an illegal immigrant to stay here. Ezedi was refused asylum but there does not appear to be any system in place to make sure he was deported. By the time he applies again he is a sexual predator but he and many like him, know how to play the game so he finds Christianity. That will look good on his asylum appeal. What a soft touch this country is, falling for this over and over again. How many more like him are on our streets?

Sexual predators don't simply decide on a whim to become one.He most certainly was one when allowed into the UK. A good liar obviously, but not good enough, and should have been deported ASAP. The outcome for this poor women and her children would have been avoided, some blame must be attached to the immigration process where a liar, proclaiming to be a Christian convert, most definitely he wasn't, used this as a ploy to stay in the UK. We have enough home grown predators without importing more, and allowing them to stay on a fabricated lie. So disgusted by this.

This case highlights real problems in our asylum and criminal justice system. Offences against women and children are not treated seriously. Indecent exposure is a sexual offence and all too often part of a pattern of sexual offences - and domestic abuse.
I read about one asylum seeker (might have been this man) who claimed to read the bible daily. The immigration judge asked him what the Old Testament is about - Jesus Christ was the reply. He appealed the inevitable refusal of his asylum claim
It’s irrefutable that some asylum claimants use Christianity or gay/lesbian sexuality in order to claim asylum. Yet another reason we need to work effectively with other European countries and invest in our system.

The DM reports that the Clapham attacker has been given a Muslim burial despite being baptised a Christian. I think that says it all.

Iam64 Sat 30-Mar-24 18:41:16

I’ve no time for the Clapham acid attacker. Her should’ve been deported back to Afghanistan at the latest after he was convicted of two sexual offences
I don’t believe he’d converted but - the Muslim burial could have been the wishes of those left behind
I once attended a Catholic funeral with Mass - my deceased friend rejected her religion but it was so important to her parents they disregarded it. She died unexpectedly so her final wishes hadn’t been established.

We have always been a multicultural country - yes BUT so many people have come here in recent years with few checks on who they are. This is not the country I was brought up in.
Bring the world into your country and you bring the problems of the world with them. Never a truer word.

Absolutely agree with you. Tribalism up and running in this country, thanks to the likes of Blair, who opened the floodgates, and to the others who don't seem to want to close them.

I think you mean ‘the others who have opened them much wider’ don’t you? Look at the figures for 2021.

In what ways is Tribalism running the country please?

Iam64 Sat 30-Mar-24 20:46:46

It’s remarkable that Blair is blamed and the past 14 years of misrule ignored

What on earth is this tribalism you speak of? Your tribe isn’t one contributing anything positive I can see

Even Tony Blair has admitted that he didn't think that so many people would want to come to Britain with the widening of the EU and it was a bit of a mistake. Whilst there is no doubt that subsequent Governments haven't helped, opening the floodgates initially was pretty disastrous.

But just look at the evidence icanhandthemback, it’s in the last three years that the numbers have increased exponentially.

The last 3 years have also seen wars famine poverty increase meaning many nationalities flee to the safety of europe
