youngtaff | on: UK's hardware talent is being wasted
He wasn't a Muslim he was brought up a Christian!

The rumours were he was an asylum seeker who came over on a boat

But as you end up quoting Breitbart what hope is there

Just because someone was "brought up as a Christian" doesn't mean they are one. And he WAS a terrorist or wannabe terrorist, as evidenced by everything said in that article. You're over here whining about Breitbart as your neighbors are being jailed for merely talking about these issues in a way that displeases your overlords.

Just because he was a wannabe terrorist doesn't make him a Muslim which what you claimed

The people who were jailed were generally jailed for rioting and incitement to riot

He was at least Muslim-adjacent, I think we can agree. Does it matter? Immigrant with ties to Al Qaida plots terror attack and actually murders people, comment section screaming "Ackshually he was not proven to be a Muslim" for real...

>The people who were jailed were generally jailed for rioting and incitement to riot

And I'm sure that given that officials gave many of them a year in prison, just a week after arrest, and after letting real criminals out to make room in the prisons, and after promising to make examples of them, means justice was served. Give me a break. Obviously the authorities can claim that anything calmly painting immigrants or even known criminals in a bad light is inciting a riot. It means nothing when laws are as screwed up as they are in the UK.

The people released were nearing the release point of the sentence and many would have been released due to prison overcrowding anyway

People trying to burn down hotels with migrants in or wanting to attack Mosques, and those encouraging are real criminals too you know

And he wasn't an immigrant, he was born in Cardiff!

Rather than casting vague assertions about the role of the authorities you can go read why people were jailed as it's public record

Minor children of immigrants count as immigrants as well IMO.

I've seen enough examples of BS to not trust your system, the reporting, or even most court records. I also don't have time to go read a ton of legal transcripts in other countries. The fact that many people that have been arrested for being perceived as rude online or in person is all I need to prove my point.

So you don’t live in Britain but are claiming to be knowledgeable about what happened here!

And when challenged you decide to produce your own definitions of things… when are you deporting Melina and Barron?

wakawaka28 | root | parent
I'm not making up new definitions, I'm merely pointing out that first generation offspring of immigrants are likely to not be fully assimilated. In fact, the Southport event more or less proves that. Try to understand what I'm saying instead of being so pedantic.

I don't need to live in Britain to have a clue what's going on there. In fact, given the censorship your people are subject to, I think I could plausibly know more about what is going on than you do. There is approximately zero risk of me going to a British prison for calling it like I see it.

>And when challenged you decide to produce your own definitions of things… when are you deporting Melina and Barron?

It should go without saying that these people are legally entitled to be here for many reasons and also well-adjusted citizens. They are fluent in English, which is more than can be said of a lot of other immigrants. Most importantly of all, they aren't taking anyone's jobs or welfare benefits, or committing any crimes whatsoever. Even if they were, you can't revoke someone's citizenship even for being a criminal. That's why people need to be carefully vetted before letting them into the country. If someone is from a place that is radically different from your country, maybe they need to be scrutinized a bit more.
