I must say, it's so refreshing to read such a reasoned, progressive response.
It's a damning reflection on our society when we're so explicitly focused on this poor man's sexual offence and attempted burglary convictions for no other reason than the fact that he wasn't born here.
And then on top of that, we use a technicality on his visitor visa to boot him back out of the country! What has become of this once-welcoming nation?
It wouldn't surprise me at all if the flashing and robbing were all coping mechanisms to deal with the absolutely appalling casual prejudice and racism this individual faced. We should be offering this bloke an honorary citizenship for all the hardship he's faced since setting foot on English soil.
You're a shining example of how to be a true advocate for the needy and persecuted. Bloody good show.

My point --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> You
as you struggle with sarcasm, I'll state things plainly
Brexit attempted to frame britain's principle issue as foreigners from poland and the like coming over here, taking our jobs and being a huge burden on public services. It promised savings, some 350 million pound a week that could be invested in those public services. It toured the country with this claim on the side of a bus, so it was a major selling point. It also used dog whistle tactics appealing to xenophobia in the community with a spate of articles around feckless european immigrants taking britain for a ride. However, as the critics and economists who they dismissed as Project Fear predicted, the opposite happened.
Since Brexit. successive governments have posted deficits, and struggled to publicly fund critical services, like the NHS or in this case the HM Prison service.
Instead of looking at why not funding public services properly is responsible for the enshittification of the UK, that spending on health and social protections as a share of gdp fell year on year from 2012 to 2020 under the tories while corporation tax almost halved in the same period and the share of tax the top 50% and particularly the top 10% of earners paid fell while the bottom 50%s burden rose a corresponding amount, you've once again focussed on outrage bait that seems to always involve brown immigrants. I'm sure that brown muslim aspect is purely a repeated coincidence as other foreigners, including illegal australians, also commit crimes, and you and tony, assuming you're not sock puppets of one another, have posted a series of links on b3ta on boat people and ones like this that echo all the outrage bait about freeloading foreigners coming over to get treatments that was shared in lead-up to the brexit vote.
So a) you're once again getting suckered into misdirected animosity, and b) what's all this outrage bait being posted on b3ta anyway? It's not funny or what this site's about, it's not even some deserving famous figure like Formerly known as Prince Andrew or Russell brand. And even if you feel compelled to post unfunny outrage-bait crime shit why always pick on foreigners? Plenty of pensioners get bashed and burgled, and women sexually assaulted by solid british yeomen stock. Here's Tony Heath www.bbc.com/news/articles/cly4w452dd8o from just a couple of weeks ago, a fine home-grown multiple rapist from Avonmouth. Surely he merits a shout-out in your "britain is going to shit and we have no real insight as to why" roster?

on an unrelated note, and I know this is minority opinion, but I don't find what prince andrew did that reprehensible
he's basically fucked a 17 and half year old prostitute, with the age of consent of being 17 where he fucked her. It's grubby, but prostitution is rife despite being illegal in all states but nevada, and it's unlikely he'd get a conviction as it wasn't done in exchange for compensation, just for that weasel epstein to get an in with him. with a possible future blackmail sting. He's a single pointless royal who like to fuck. If he wants to go to prozzers that's his business. The fact that giuffre was groomed at 16 by Epstein and maxwell and whored out to johns based on who knows what relationship isn't Andrews business, and an awful lot of prostitutes are forced into it anyway, as our sockcooker who spent years brothel creeping in thailand should know. They're often kidnapped from their villages and forced to suck off sunburnt poms in oasis singlets under debt servitude, rather than flown around in private jets. From andrew point of view epstein was just a discreet pimp businessman who came with some pretty high faluting recommendations who was willing to let him fuck for free, to a man used to getting freebies everywhere he goes. He should have leaned into it, said "I've always been a pantsman,everyone knows that, but I should have enquired about this one's backstory, sorry" instead of coming across as a feckless liar with the lamest excuses. That's what caused the blood in the water that's hammering him now. I don't have a huge amount of sympathy for him, but I won't pretend to be outraged either. in the end the story is that he fucked a prostitute for free

I suspect that'll be a relief to Cumquat when he wakes up this afternoon with a raging hangover.
