Just brilliant how completely broken this country is. 
 

Add in that grooming gang leader who’s about to be released that can’t be deported! It’s a joke 

When Boris campaigned on the NHS's £350m per week saving (are we making it yet?) did he say this would also be a result of Brexit?

"Immigration officers have told the BBC that since the UK left the European Union, it has become more difficult to check criminal records from some other countries." including next door neighbours like France

Wonder how Nigel and the Reform team will back up their plans with this issue when they win the next General Election?

The law involved is from the early seventies 

and even if we could deport him, I believe Pakistan wouldn’t take him 

 

I’d suggest the best option is to keep him incarcerated until we can work out if the law can be changed without unintended consequences.   He hasn’t served his full sentence yet. 

I know about all the technicalities I just find it utterly mental this absolute monster will be released and just allowed to stay here.

I'm sick of hearing from the people that make the rules in this country that the rules aren't fit for purpose tbh.

Burnham will actually enact the stuff Johnson promised he’d do in 2019 because he’s an ambitious, honest man that doesn’t have 19492929 love children 

[lcfcell]

He’s actually just been released earlier today and in “secure accommodation”

Burnham or Johnson?

[Rubbersoul]

Can someone a lot smarter than me explain how on earth the original judge was allowed to basically say he didn’t want to lock these rapists away as it would be harsh?? 
 

Girls continue to be failed by this country at least it’s been reviewed now

 .... no, that's just him. That's who he, and his supporter base, and their ideology, have been for a long time now. The mask just keeps slipping more and more. 

[st albans fox]

fingers crossed he could melt !

Trump is expected to speak outside at a 4 July celebration on Saturday, despite the predicted high temperatures; the president has maintained he wants to gather outside for the celebration. 
 

By the way, on July 4th, it's going to be approximately 107 degrees out, and I'm gonna go and I'm gonna make a really long speech just to show that I can do anything," he said.

He doesn't appear to be answering any of the questions. Good practice for PMQs.

It’s because it’s due at 5pm today if you can read it!

Reddit? Hope Burnham has scanned his driving licence or passport and done a biometric age check to access that. Nothing to worry about mate, it's deleted straight away, just ignore that bit in Yoti's age verification privacy policy about them transferring the data to Yoti India for "manual checks" and keeping it for 28 days. Completely safe, no chance whatsoever of being hacked and stolen, honest...

Nearly every question is about the triple lock. Reddit hates it.

He has a VPN. He is a politician not an idiot!!

Suddenly become very anti-Burnham knowing he uses Reddit.

You've got to admire the balls of that people smuggler guy to set up in Blaby, a place where the people decided to pretend a random woman who had moved in was Maxine Carr, just for the LOLZ

I wonder if this will dissuade potential people smugglers? There cannot be much cash in it if, despite being 'prolific', he has a job in a shop.

Those shops don't make their money from selling polos.

 

The money he has made needs to be washed somehow.

Hi Andy, was wondering where in England you're from. Think I can detect an accent but would be interested where you grew up, I know you've been quite tight lipped on this but any hint would be great!

[Stevosevic]

People that shouldn’t be here…”asylum seeker” I am sure.

 

What a shambles this country has become.

You'd think after 14 years of tory rule and 6 years after Brexit, we'd be in the sunlit uplands by now🤣🤣

Nah, mate, you don't get it. 

 

The Tories didn't do Brexit properly. 

 

Or something.
