In a world that made sense, the whole insane scheme of airlifting masses and masses of unvetted, utterly culturally alien men from a war torn hellhole into poor working class communities would have stopped the moment this guy was charged. Instead, this stuff will be allowed to continue.
It’s obscene that this all happens in a backdrop of the government pushing their ‘end violence against women and girls’ campaign which I’m sure everyone has come across several times in recent weeks.

Why does this not automatically void any possible asylum application?

I feel like this would trigger an urgent comprehensive overhaul of all cultural and legal attitudes towards migration but instead it’s characterised as just Part And Parcel. More children sacrificed to an idea that doesn’t even provably improve anything.
Truly bizarre stuff.

I don’t think the judge should be taking account of him having no previous convictions when he only arrived four months before the offence. We don’t know whether he committed previous offences whilst in Afghanistan, although it’s quite likely given the seriousness of this offence. I presume the judge is just following guidelines so I don’t blame her individually. Obviously he should never have been free in the country in the first place given he arrived on a small boat.

Good. Let’s not taint thousands with the same brush now.

> Mulakhil was told he would serve 15 years in prison and an extra 12 months on licence.
Is there a reason why he is not being sent back to Afghanistan after his 15 years in prison?

I guess we are taking his word on both of those things. For all we know he fled Afghanistan after raping someone there.

The asylum system is totally dysfunctional and it’s a shame people use this to try and tar all immigrants (or the generic ‘migrants’).
These cases never seem to be people who’ve come over on a work visa, paying the NHS surcharge and extortionate visa fees. Or people on spousal visas who have their children and family deeply integrated into the country.
The asylum system needs to end and be replaced by bespoke deals, each one approved by Parliament, for specific cases like Ukraine, Gaza etc.
But I imagine nothing will change and stuff like this will happen again while we’ll continue asking for the same changes. Asylum system delenda est.
