Brighton Attack

Sarnia, When you wrote "huge percentage" what do you mean? A huge percentage of what? It's just been explained why the majority of people arriving on boats are young males. It is impossible for residents in some countries to apply for exit visas to anywhere. I'm not sure that a "huge percentage" of total immigrants consists of young, single males.

The way I read this was that the men would be deported after sentencing, to serve out their prison term in their own countries. That seems the best possible outcome for such a horrible crime, and should prevent them being a risk for a number of years.

I do hope that will be the case.

If one is wanted for other crimes ie murder, as reported yesterday, in his own country, I hope he is charged with that too and is never released.

The victim has received a life sentence from these vile creatures.

After the verdicts, Llewellyn-Waters told the judge all three defendants were in the process of appealing against their refused asylum applications.

If asylum is refused, why are asylum seekers allowed to wander our streets whilst appeals are underway?

Migrant Watch UK show a figure of 86% men in age range 25-39 crossing the Channel. I would say that's fairly hefty.

It’s not quite that high Sarnia. The government figures are as follows.
‘Based on data regarding irregular migration to the UK via the English Channel (small boats) from 2018 to early 2026, the demographic profile of people arriving is primarily composed of adult men.
Demographic Breakdown (By Age & Sex)
Adult Men (18-39): This group makes up the clear majority, consistently representing about 70% to 75% of all arrivals.
Adult Men (40+): Roughly 5% to 9% of arrivals are men aged 40 and over.
Children (17 and under): Around 12% to 16% of those crossing are children. In the first half of 2025, this was lower at 10%. Many are lone, unaccompanied children.
Adult Women: A small minority, accounting for roughly 7% to 12% of arrivals.’

No capital punishment for any crime. There is always the risk of miscarriage of justice, always. What about Andrew Malkinson and Stefan Kiszko?

The law has changed since Stefan Kiszko's case. Evidence which could have cleared him was not available to the defence at that time and in fact was withheld by the police; four girls admitted to lying 'for a laugh', all of which contributed not just to the wrecking of his life but allowing the rapist and murderer to live a free life for years.

The three men will be deported after sentencing.

Why does it take so long to sentence them? They will not be sentenced until 15th July. Presumably they will be kept in custody until then and hopefully not accidentally allowed to disappear.

Good riddance. Anyone committing a crime while seeking asylum should be deported. They are showing no respect for the country they wish to live in so should go.

Sorry, but I wouldn't trust Migration Watch UK.

Even if they are accurate, asylum seekers make up about 5% of the total number of immigrants to the UK. The majority are single males, but not all, so it's safe to assume that fewer than 5% of immigrants are single male asylum seekers.

I think everybody has seen how people get confused about immigrants and asylum seekers. The moment anybody is reported to have committed a crime, there are some people who go off about stopping boats, sending immigrants back home, protecting British women and loads more.

Of course attacks like the one in Brighton are appalling and I'm included in the people who think these men should be deported as soon as possible. I don't know why there's a delay.

I just wish people would remember that the vast majority of asylum seekers, immigrants and men are not abusers.

barmcake You are spot on. Anyone on here, myself included who call out unrestricted migration and the disproportionate crime migrants are commiting have been called far right racists. The rape of the poor Sikh lady and the woman on Brighton beach are both horrific and both racially motivated but only one crime is being called a race/hate crime.

Because we have too many people of all nationalities committing all sorts of crimes and we need more courts and more staff! That’s why it takes so long, courts are way way behind, it a nightmare.

With all due respect, I’ve not seen anyone, anywhere, on here, or other sites or in “real life” supporting “mass migration”, we have all supported controls for both AS and other immigrants coming in on visas.

I wouldn’t dream of calling someone a racist, unless they stated, as some do, deport all immigrants, reverse their statuses and send them home.

And the many Brits who commit violent and sexual crimes? How respectful are they??

We can't deport them Cossy.
