L fairfax said...: Why should he get Asylum here? UKIP should use this as a clause celebre.; 23 May 2017 at 09:59
Mark Wadsworth said...: LF, exactly. That is the question a sane person would ask. What his house is "worth" has naff all to do with it.; 23 May 2017 at 11:52
Mark Wadsworth said...: B, the M describe him as being a "suspect" and say that he is "on bail". Either those statements are true or they are not. There's no point being PC about this, there is a fair chance he did it.; 24 May 2017 at 08:11
Bayard said...: Well, 1) even a suspect on bail still hasn't been proved guilty, only suspected of carrying out the crime. That's why he's called a "suspect". LF is asking "why should he get asylum here", i.e. making an assumption of guilt (if he is innocent, then the reply to that would be "why the hell not?").
2) this is the DM, the paper that supported Hitler until Britain inconveniently declared war on his regime. I have read the article and there is a very strong presumption of guilt.; 24 May 2017 at 18:28
