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.

If and when this man is caught and convicted the U.K. is unable to deport him, as since The Taliban took control we have stopped all deportation’s to Afghanistan.

I don't suppose anybody will actually listen but the attack is beyond words and what we have become as human beings is heartbreaking to me.

Suspect caught on CCTV on the Victoria Line maybe having to the south coast.

His behaviour maybe represents what is considered acceptable behaviour towards women by his country of origin and his real religion. I think this is a real problem with permitting so many single men from countries which disrespect women, and with religions which still condone stoning a woman to death for adultery, to live here. Their values and beliefs are poles apart from ours.

This is at the heart of the matter.
How can we assimilate whilst such dogmatic views exist?

I don’t think we can Namsnanny. These are the beliefs such men were brought up with, the beliefs of their parents and generations before them. They consider those entrenched beliefs to be right and they choose to live amongst others who share them. I look forward to hearing how it was that a priest was convinced that this man had converted to Christianity.

Urmstongran Fri 02-Feb-24 16:18:55

Me too GSM. Especially as in his own community in Newcastle the attacker was described by the local Halal butcher as ‘a good Muslim’.

There is an average of over one attack every day in the UK. What I find heartbreaking is that hardly any of the other attacks get any airtime, although they destroy peoples lives in exactly the same way this attack has done. Yes, one attack would have been prevented if this man hadn’t been granted asylum in the UK, but what about the other 400+ that haven’t even hit people s consciousness? Double standards at at work.

Duncan McAuley has been named as the priest by multiple journalists. He is also a member of a refugee charity.

Until 30 minutes or so ago his X account was open for all to see, it has now been locked and only approved followers can view his posts.

This was particularly horrifying, involving a mother and her two young children, and it was filmed. And the man is still at large, so much publicity is given over to it in order to find him. It was bound to hit the national headlines. That doesn’t mean double standards are at work. Others will be reported in the national press, some only in the local press.

I agree, but I fear it suits both our media and our govt to highlight every evil deed carried out by a “foreigner” This was indeed, an evil deed, one amongst many!

I think we have bent over backwards to help newcomers, but they are sometimes the ones who will not accept the ways of our society and will not assimilate. After all, we provide free schooling, free healthcare, homes, the list is endless.

He was granted asylum status AFTER being convicted as a sex offender!!! The naivety and stupidity of the vicar/priest involved in this ridiculous decision beggars belief also. He or she has blood on their hands for sure and I hope they reflect on this for the remainder of their days.

He also appears to have been described as a quiet good man! He’s lived here since 2016

These do-gooders make me so angry.

I expect he'll claim 'diminished responsibility' due to mental health problems anyway.

Urmstongran Fri 02-Feb-24 16:32:42

^ He also appears to have been described as a quiet good man! He’s lived here since 2016^

Not so good though.
He was convicted of sexual assaults in 2018.

A charity worker who claims to have offered him help claims he is Iranian. The 2 counties share the Dari language.
That’s handy 😉

Germanshepherdsmum Fri 02-Feb-24 16:33:29

I wonder if the asylum decision can be revoked. He would be an excellent candidate for being sent to Rwanda if he can’t be deported to Afghanistan.

Oh how I wish the law had been changed years ago so that those who tried to enter our country illegally, by dinghy or in the back of a lorry like this monster, should automatically be banned from making an asylum claim and be sent back from where they came from. In other words something similar to what they did in Australia which solved their problem.

Would it have worked though when undoubtedly Left wing Human Rights lawyers would be submitting appeal after appeal, coming up with lie after lie to overturn the eviction.
Look what happened to this one. He failed two appeals until someone came up with the bright idea of him pretending to now be a Christian.
Who on earth fell for that? Was the priest gullible enough or was he so sucked in to the ideology that he went along with it?
We will never know.

The trouble now is that we are virtually certain to get a Left wing government who have absolutely no intention whatsoever of curbing immigration.

I should image this event is a shot in the arm for the Tory Election Campaign but remember the CofHR is always a sticking point. Maybe it's time to override their decisions which seen often to go against common sense and the individual needs of a Sovereign state.

The police are doing really well in tracking Ezedi and giving updates.
