It's completely irrelevant.

What's important is making sure that anybody, whoever they are, is dealt with for the crimes they've committed.

No, as anyone else can quite clearly see, it is completely relevant to the point being made.

You got a crystal ball? :-S

No, but he has got a banhammer, which is much better than a ball, crystal or not!

I considered the highlighting of the perpetrators' names sufficiently overt undertones as to justify a one day ban. No doubt there will be a whinging storm over the next day or so.

if as a percentage of the population they commit more crimes (or not) then surely that is important?

The fact is that majority of crime in this country is done by native locals.

as a percentage relevant to their numbers in the population or overall?

if its the first then certain Police forces would disagree especially on certain offences.

If the second then if 90% are locals then they are likely to commit something like 90% of the crime so what exactly is your point? You sound like a New Lie Politician or a Guardian correspondant.

Longer bans are indeed quite tempting for that reason!

You should have added 1 year ban for him referencing Russia Today, kind of missed that bit at start.

And 10 years ban for loving Putin.

Would not have happened if you banned for a month or a year...

This is a reasonable point of view that lacks one critical advantage that Paddy seeks - it fails to provide support for his (in my view) racist undertones.

Or could it be that a certain percentage of people who live here (or any country for that matter) just tend to resort to crime?
