https://uk.news.yahoo.com/jailing-se...132440837.html
If this barsteward does not get sent down or at the very least deported back to Syria the KC who is defending him should be dibarred from practing law.
Also were did he get the money to buy a car.

Re: Asylum seeker
Nothing new there James.
WE have similar here in Victoria.
Judges have no idea nor do some of the barristers or others.
We have one 14 year old, been bailed some 52 times and continues to commit crime.
Bailed and 12 hours later bailed again.
But the WOKE brigade say we must give offenders a second chance, does that include 52 bails??

Sounds like more “Bails” than a Test Match, Crazy World, when are these Woke people going to wake-up, if ever.

Re: Asylum seeker
Then some bureaucrat came up with the wonderful idea.
We will fit an ankle bracelet to offenders so they can still go to school and we will know where they are.
No go said the education minister who claimed he only found out about it when he read it in the daily paper!!!!!!
