  1. Didn’t Jay Slater steal a Rolex and then go on holiday? I think we’re just posting to try and prove some kind of point now, aren’t we

    Justice not seen to be done. Why is this allowed to happen? Why do we believe their asylum claim?

  3. Don’t worry guys, there was no room in jail because someone posted a cartoon about them.

  4. Meanwhile, some guy gets 3 years for kicking a bus and laughing. No wonder people are pissed off.

    Let them walk free to save space in jail.

    Has anyone considered, I don’t know, deporting them? Stupid fucking country that we live in, a schoolkid could tell you what to do in this situation…

  6. I don’t really understand UK courts and law. Such news are taking people out on streets. UK cannot care for itself and it’s citizens 🙁 misinterpreting humanity and shooting itself in the leg

    And how is it that people who speak against such shameless 2 tier policing and justice processes are branded as far-right racist nazi-fascists?

  8. Why were they free to leave the asylum centre in the first place?! Until their claims have been processed, they’re not legally allowed to be in Britain so shouldn’t be allowed onto British streets!

  9. I always think of that case of pc Beshenivsky in situations like this, shot by asylum seekers in an armed robbery where one of them fled to Somalia in a burkha despite saying that he would be killed if he returned there. There should be no tolerance for this because the stakes get higher and the scumbags get more cavalier.

  10. Committing a crime should invalidate an asylum claim and lead to deportation.

    If they can’t not commit crime when they are claiming I imagine they will probably commit crimes if granted asylum. Plus it probably shows a lack of willingness to abide by the laws of the land.

  11. If you commit a crime when seeking asylum then your claim should be automatically denied. We’re far too soft in this country

  12. AcademicIncrease8080 on

    Asylum seekers who commit any crimes should immediately have their application revoked with instant deportation. Additionally, if an asylum seekers take [a trip home](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2024/08/16/asylum-seekers-in-germany-risk-deportation-holiday-country/) to visit a country they’re ostensibly fleeing from, that should also be an instant ban…

    We need a fundamental reform of all the refugee legal conventions, because it should just not be okay for asylum seekers to literally mug people and stay in the country – utterly insane.

  13. Labour are releasing the prisoners early and even giving people like this clearance to walk free.

    What could possibly go wrong in the next few years?

    This is going to be a total fucking disaster. What are we doing?

  14. LifeMasterpiece6475 on

    Labour wants voters, by giving everyone who comes citizenship they think they’re going to get more votes.

  15. Of course they are, probably given a house and free money every month and free education and free healthcare and food vouchers, let off crime after crime because we don’t want to upset the disgusting scum do we! This will probably be removed too knowing the agenda the media and social media platforms push.

  16. “Allowed to walk free” they got sentenced to serve community service which is in line with the punishment of that crime.

    However, I do agree this should go against their claim of asylum which it most likely would.

  17. How can anyone who commits a crime in any country avoid going to prison?

    If I committed a crime in USA, Chile, Egypt, Japan or anywhere then I’d be deported or straight to prison.

  18. What do you expect?

    We only lock up people for hurting feelings in this country.

    Violent robbing and traumatising someone (whilst being someone who’s got no fucking god given right to be in this country) is small fry comparatively.

  19. I’m sure they’ve learned an imortant lesson and won’t steal again… /s (Seriously the fact i have to put /s really says alot about Reddit.)

  20. Lazy-Log-3659 on

    Lmao, you guys are fuckers really. There was a story not long ago where a lady got a very expensive watch stolen. All you guys were telling me that it’s her fault that her watch was stolen, as she shouldn’t have been dumb enough to wear it.

    Now a guy got a £25k watch stolen by some asylum seekers, suddenly they’re the bad ones! The man should be able to wear his £25k rolex.

  21. Why are they allowed to stay? I’m sure there’s people *genuinely* seeking asylum that would be more deserving.

    Just fuck these two shits back off where they came from.

    Shit like this serves no purpose other than making the justice system look pathetic and painting asylum seekers in a poor light.

    Anyone think LBC would bother reporting on the theft of a Rolex by two white UK nationals?

    Miserable wee clickbait chasers

  23. Why is the value of the Rolex watches relevant? Had a poorer person been robbed of a £50 watch the trauma experienced would be the same.

  24. Scummy theives. However there are stories everyday of English born thieves getting community orders instead of jail time for robberies so this isn’t special treatment…..

  25. LegsLingerLove on

    Some argue they should be deported, as their asylum claim should be revoked after committing a crime. Others question why the underlying motivations for their actions matter if they’re still receiving what they want without complaint.

  26. bluecheese2040 on

    If you come here for asylum you should be held to the highest possible account. They have proven themselves unworthy and should be deported or imprisoned until such time as we can be sure they won’t be a threat.

    Unfortunately this is the sort of no brainer story that generates support for the far right.

  27. And the powers that be will wonder why Brits are being more and more disillusioned and almost radicalised at this point.

    The rioting has subsided now thankfully, but it won’t take much to kick it back off and in larger numbers.

  28. YaGanache1248 on

    Why is their asylum claim being allowed if they attacked and robbed a member of the public? Even worse, they received a slap on the wrist (probably because all jail spaces are being saved for protesters/rioters).

    People are going to jail for years for posting online, yet actual attackers/robbers are just getting community service?

  29. If we cannot deal appropriately with clear cases like this we will never be able to make a good argument for asylum seekers or even broader immigration issues. There will always be a strong case to be made by the anti-immigration lobby when they can point not only at incidents like this but the abject failure of our systems to provide justice and protection for our citizens.

  30. We need to remove ourselves from any international law that requires us to keep cunts like this. 

    I’m at the point where I’d vote for anyone who had a viable plan to put an end to this mess.

    So they got 150 hours commuity service, and they’re effectively confined to their asylum residence most of the day. That seems reasonable given the prison situation.

    However, it is nuts that someone can commit a crime while awaiting asylum status and not have that immediately veto their claim.

    I get that you might have a case where someone has committed a petty theft and is definitely going to be tortured or executed if they’re returned to their home country, and the question becomes do you send them to that fate? But the flip side is, do you essentially allow someone to hold themselves hostage, as you’re unable to return them no matter how they behave or what laws they break?

  32. We really do need to be stricter. If you come here you cannot commit crime. If you do, you’re deported

    Good job they didn’t post anything on FB/twitter. They would have got 3 years.

    The United Kingdom, as a country and a collective government as a whole, are wet wipes who are too scared of what people think they’re antagonists in their own country who are also antagonising those who want better for this country and the future of our kids, we are meant to sit idolly by while we are taken advantage of in every way possible by these cretins who sit support the throne of “diversity and inclusion” but they continuously prove they just want for their own rather than the UK as a whole.
