Interesting. This guy jailed after putting on Tik Tok that he was running for his life from right wing rioters last Wednesday. Apparently he wasn’t happy that sh.t wasn’t kicking off so he decided to make it happen. https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/tiktoker-jai ... ri-stoica/

I'm guessing he can fall back on British citizenship, but it would be somewhat hilarious if he ended up stateless and in the same boat as Begum.

He’s probably still entitled to Irish citizenship, but not having a valid passport might f.ck things up for him. Be a real shame if he was found to have travelled illegally.

Bus w.nker pled guilty today

https://x.com/metpoliceuk/status/182228 ... 07936?s=61

And this guy just got 10 months for trying some Shitkwondo on a copper. What would possess you to do that? How would he possibly think he would get away from it?

https://x.com/metpoliceuk/status/182192 ... 69824?s=61
10 months
He was also told to pay £500 to the bus driver, £200 to the police officer he racially abused and £200 to a staff member at Ladbrokes.
Mongan bowed his head as the sentence was read out in court and told the judge afterwards: "They won't see a pound of it from me."

Plymouth rioter mentioned in his police interview concerns "about the better use of taxpayers' money and why people were having to pay to keep these people in this country after committing such heinous crimes."
Judge has his own thoughts about the rioter's own "cost to the taxpayer"

I was about to post that. f.cking Hell - being told off like that must be worse than the prison sentence.

I wonder what that works out to in monetary terms? Someone somewhere must be able to do a rough calculation (with big error bars).

It's hard to get figures
I have 2 sources of £/prisoner/yr:
* 2001 Home Office saying ~£35k
* 2023 Statista report saying ~£51k, but that in 2015/16 it was ~£35k,

... so it's hard to tell.
If we take 30yrs at an average of £35k it's over £1m

He won't have spent 30 years in prison. The judge said many of the sentences were concurrent, and it's unlikely he will have done full time for all of them anyway.

Probably the better point is that whenever he was inside he was definitely a net user rather than a contributor of tax.

Not going to argue with that! Plus the cost to the court system, possibly legal aid etc.

I'm not really a huge fan of making these sorts of calculations but well, hypocrisy.

Hm the government isn't really doing much to change the narrative, is it: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y87yp75ego

I don't see what the issue is. Returning those with no right to be here, whether through visas or legit asylum claims, is a good thing isn't it?

That and a more humane asylum policy (speed it up, better routes to claim etc.) are not mutually exclusive.

It depends on whether or not you consider existing laws to be fair. For example, someone might be here illegally for reasons that are really little other than bureaucratic.

I also posted the link in this thread because the messaging is really not substantially different to the previous government; the new government's main criticism of Tory handling of immigration is that it wasn't efficient enough. It seems unlikely to me that that's going to do much to change the attitudes that led to the riots this month.

The person who filmed the attempted lynch mob of a lone black man in Manchester has been jailed.

He's a nazi with 31 previous convictions for sexual assault, including on 13 year olds

Rioter and all-round conspiracy theorist dies in prison. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cpw5w8nl5ezo

Obviously he knew too much and agents of one or more of the Deep State, NASA, the Environmental Agency etc etc finally got to him.
