7 afghans charged with human trafficking. Most from Norfolk, one from Scotland an eighth the CPS will have to extricate from Ireland. They're accused of trafficking young teens.

They're uk refugees officially.

Aibu to say charge, if found guilty ship them back to Afghanistan?

That's not what the OP saying and you know it. We can't afford to imprison our own criminals let alone the rest of the world...

The majority of perpetrators of sexual violence against women and girls are white British men, perhaps you should turn your attention there if you care for the young girls here

The only reason for this is that there are more white British men than foreign men - at the moment. As the numbers of immigrants from these hell hole countries increases, the number foreign men carrying out sexual assaults will increase.

They don’t seem to understand that! The same posters applying the same weird logic to every post about the concerns of the safety of women and children and crimes committed against them from people who have come here on boats!

You claim asylum/refuge here and take advantage of our hospitality by breaking our laws, you should forfeit that right to stay.

It's actually more like 13 percent. In women's jails it is 1 in 5 women born abroad.

Incarcerating Foreign National Offenders (FNOs) costs UK taxpayers approximately £630 million annually. This financial pressure is compounded by an ongoing prison overcrowding crisis.

Thanks. Awful that five came in on dinghies across the channel and two sneaked in by other means.

We don't share a culture really do we if children are fodder for these men

What do you mean by "culture" though? I don't think mainstream Islam in the UK condones sex trafficking any more than Christianity or Judaism does, if that is what you are suggesting? Do we share a "culture" with paedophile Christian priests?

If you mean the criminal culture these men are part of, then fair enough.

Wouldn't it be better to jail them here rather than send them back to Afghanistan where they will be able to abuse more women? Or do Afghan women mean nothing to you?

What like the Dutch rapist who was in prison here for raping a 12 year old.

we sent him back to finish his sentence. The Dutch decided it didn’t break their laws and released him.

They do. They serve their sentence and are then deported.

You know what, I’m absolutely sick and tired of people making excuses for this sort of behaviour by saying it somehow makes it ok for men who shouldn’t be here to just rock up on a dinghy or lorry and rape/ assault girls and women! Pathetic!! There is absolutely NO excuse to excuse this behaviour. And using the excuse that it’s somehow OK because the majority or rapists and murderers and paedophiles are white men is absolutely not an excuse at all!

What I’m saying is we have our own issues with men born here without importing more from the rest of the world on dinghies and lorries. I get your point but this crime the op is referring to wouldn’t have happened if we had strict borders. Until we get a better government that will endeavour to give more protection to women and girls then your argument doesn’t really stand up. Making it an argument about it being somehow ok to allow men to come in from other countries via a dinghy because our “justice system is shit anyways” doesn’t stand up I’m afraid!

This all day long!

Sick to the back teeth of excuses.
Get rid of these animals back to where they came from.

Are we banning us citizens from coming here as well?

because child marriage is not uncommon in the USA, and there are states which have no minimum age for marriage.

Yes. Get them out of the uk as soon as we can.

It's not so much the religion as much as the culture of the countries which are islamic, typically girls and women are treated like livestock whereas the boys and men are human. It is reflected in the religious teachings too but it's more a historic ingrained thing.so religion is a part of it but not the whole picture.

Wordsmithery · 22/05/2026 16:21

I do believe that people should lose their asylum or refugee status if convicted of a crime in their new country. However, if you follow that through to its logical conclusion and we deport people, they haven't been punished, have they? So maybe they should be deported after serving a prison sentence here.
What the legalities of this are, I don't know.

SweetSummerHerbs · 22/05/2026 16:26

randomchap · 22/05/2026 14:08

They committed a crime here. Broke our laws. We should be the ones punishing them.

And them deport them by pulling a small boat into the middle of the high seas with enough water for two weeks-let them beg entry where ever they land.

Maybe paint "Water , water everywhere and not a drop to drink" on the side of the boat.

"From Norfolk" FFS!

I think they should serve the entirety of their sentences here, then be deported. The victims will want to be assured they've paid for their crimes, and I don't believe we can negotiate completing their sentences in Afghanistan.

are they coming over using correct immigration processes? Or skipping over 17 safe countries first? It’s not the same

As others have said, that is already what happens. People committing crimes on foreign soil serve their sentences in the country where the law was broken. They are then deported to their home country on release. It cuts both ways, with British Nationals who commit crime abroad. It's pretty standard international practice.

SweetSummerHerbs · 22/05/2026 16:34

GingerBeverage · 22/05/2026 14:59

From their ages and arrival dates they came to the UK as minors.

Well, that should be a lesson learned.

Seeking asylum is a “correct” immigration process.

we can’t return them to the last safe country they passed through because Brexit meant we were no longer part of the Dublin agreement. Which was voted for by the British public.

I agree that this seems the best course of action.

So why are they not stopping at the safe countries first? What is so attractive about Britain ? The girls and the benefits and the fact the can roam wherever the fuck they like with no knowledge of criminal records. Pretending they’re 15 when they’re about 37!

these soft idiots weeping for these horrible men are letting this country down
