    Yeh send em back. If they get killed, tough. Other country's citizens are not our responsibility. If we allow genuine asylum seekers to stay it should not be a right but charity.

    Police around straight away and threaten the guy with arrest - if he pays the reward, they'll do him for "handling stolen goods"
    Chortle. Believe it or not "returning stolen goods without prosecution" was a capital offence in the 18th century, to deter characters like Jonathan Wild from running scams where for payment they would offer to return stolen goods to their former owners.

    Trivia time: Skimming that Wikipedia article reminded me of the origin of the phrase "double cross" as in "betray" - Jonathan Wild kept a notebook listing all the thieves he was running. When he planned to arrest one, in his capacity as "thief-taker general", he'd mark their name with a single cross, and when that thief had been duly convicted he'd add a second cross.

    Are you so blind that you do not see even some of the high profile cases where people have been imprisoned for years only to be found innocent at a latter date. Go and get some education. You ignoramus.

    Make it quite clear that if they want to stay they have to stay on the right side of the law.

    It is not oour fault that their own government wants to kill them.

    This may cause pangs of conscience when we send someone to a death sentence for a parking fine, but fook em I say.

    Criminals don’t have any more rights than others. It is just because the way the legal system works. The Courts, Judges, Barristers (Who are also part time Judges) and Solicitors have a vested financial interest in creating work for themselves. The sooner the better that the financial incentive of dealing with this cases is reformed.

    On the other side are the untold cases where innocent people are taken to Court and found guilty because of poor case investigation and poor legal representation.
