Another day, another clown show - Epping asylum seeker and rapist released from Prison ‘by mistake’

[WildLimePoet]

You literally couldn’t make this shit up.

This country is broken.

Reform should send David Lamey a big thankyou note for this gift.

I agree we should stop getting involved with things that destabilise foreign countries, so we partially agree!

Where are we bombing other countries?

What have I missed?

This man was a criminal, the vast majority of refugees and asylum seekers are not.

After hearing the story of the poor woman that was killed after work. I really do think there needs to be some sort of 'pause' to asylum seeker entry until the system and processes are sorted out.

I asked someone earlier - whether authorities even carry out mental health evaluations when processing asylum seekers before letting them roam around communities?

On the other hand - I do find the hypocrisy of many anti-immigrant protestors laughable - as many do not really give a hoot about women/girls safety. A pp highlighted an interesting fact that 2/5 of those arrested at the protests had been arrested/charged for domestic violence!

It really is a mess though - but I think the issue is - that these awful crimes were 100% preventable - and that's where the anger is.

The UK has enough criminals to deal with - without welcoming more.

The risk of one is enough to stop many. Not a single one is worth it. Stop them all.

Even the possibility that one woman might be attacked is enough to mean we shouldn’t admit any at all.

by what is going on at the moment with the constant arrival of people on boats

plus the lack of respect for UK laws and money laundering.

Loads more things

...plus the woman raped on the beach in Brighton by the asylum seekers....the list goes on.

Too many criminals and chancers.

I have met and worked with asylum seekers who were deeply traumatised, but good people.
I have worked in schools where children who are here with their parents waiting for or their asylum claims to be processed are coming to school terrified by the protests outside the hotels they are staying in.

This man committed an awful crime and should be deported. However the vast vast majority of asylum seekers and refugees in this country are totally innocent, and shouldn't be punished for his crime.

Honestly it’s heartbreaking. The only thing worse is the appeasement. By OTHER WOMEN

I just don’t care. Not one woman should be sacrificed for the chance that some asylum seekers turn out to be good.

If we opened safe routes that meant that people could claim asylum without having to come to the UK, a lot of this problem would be solved.

Thank you for this. The community I live in is very mixed and the males from some backgrounds are verbally misogynistic and intimidating. A friend of mine no longer uses her local corner shop due to the crowds of men who gather outside drinking and blocking the pavement. When she politely asked them to move so she could walk on the pavement to get into the shop she was told "go fuck yourself bitch cunt" and I have had foul things said to me when asking my non-English speaking neighbours to stop shouting in the street. They are very good at swearing despite claiming they cannot speak English. It was not like this a few years ago. I do not go out after dark, too many aggressive drunk males out on the street, two friends of mine have sold up and moved as the area has gone down hill, I cannot afford to move. I have complained about the things that go on next door to me and it transpired that some of the people there were in the country illegally, the only thing that happened was that they cleared off and another lot have taken their place.

Please give us the stats for that because its been proven to utterly false.
You are far more likely to be hurt by your own family and friends than anyone else

It’s not worth it to have what happened to Rhiannon.

Most asylum seekers are good. The vast majority.

At least you admit that you don't care.

They’d still be here. How would any problem be solved? They’re hardly likely to flag their misogynistic beliefs during the asylum process.

You dont get it do you.
One is too many.
I doubt you'd be saying the same if your daughter was raped by an asylum seekers.
Stop being spineless and weak.
The country is full
We dont need other countrys fuck ups here.

I don’t care if 99.9% are good. It is NEVER worth the 0.01% who’d hurt women and girls.

Yes, it's the rape gang scandal all over again. If the perpetrators of crimes against women are politically inconvenient then it's better to let women and girls be raped or murdered than to look bigoted. It just shows how so many supposedly progressive people really hate women.

On that we will have to disagree.
What happened to Rhiannon was abhorrent, and the man responsible should be held to account, imprisoned and deported. But every asylum seeker and refugee should not have to pay for his crime, any more than I should have to pay for crimes committed by people who live in my neighborhood.

Not one single asylum seeker (man, woman or child) is worth what happened to Rhiannon. Not one.

Should you be held accountable for the crimes of the men who live in your town?
I get it. I disagree.

They don’t have to ‘pay’. We should have a better system completely. The one we have is not good for women and girls.

I think we should stop taking male asylum seekers and take as many women as we can, get them safe away from the awful men in their countries.
We took tens of thousands of women and children from Ukraine, any of them rape anyone?
