India did warn us for decades and we ignored them

Britain needs strict law for these crimes. This is not an isolated case. Uk needs to wake up.

If someone kept robbing banks and they were never arrested and prosecuted because of their skin tone and religious beliefs then yes you would then be responsible for the robberies because you ALLOWED it to happen while doing NOTHING!

Do not set a precedent.

There is a book with some added context which promotes this, I forgot what book it is.
@
He should stay in prison untill he agrees to leave the country
@
NO TOM, YOU are responsible
@
I don't think we should deport him. We will have no control then and they might release him after ten minutes. He should stay in prison here for the rest of his life. We can send the bill to Pakistan and if they won't pay, take it out of the aid we send them.
@
Are you really so demoralized that you believe either of these people are British?
@
I think this monster should be put back in prison and as we can't deport him we need to keep him there indefinitely
@
He wouldn't have dreamt of doing that in Pakistan that's the difference that's what the Pakistani authorities are saying I think
@
Deport him or imprison him. He should not be free. Early release is not justice for victims.

Where does he live? I do not want my tax paying for his accomodation.
@
just put him in the general population prison wing problem gone
@
Then no more visas for no more Pakistanis and no more foreign aid for Pakistan.
@
How do we know he wasn't offending in Pakistan before he came here? If he was, it's their fault, at least partially
@
Just stop the overseas aid we send
@
provide concrete boots and make him swim home

TOM...............Stop Visas for any one from Pakistan coming to our UK🇬🇧
@
They mean its your problem because you people are too soft in dealing with criminals
@
They should deport the police officers that turned a blind eye to the grooming.

The logic is circular. If he believes the system is fundamentally broken, why does he keep trusting it to put him back in power? It’s a dangerous game to play with democratic stability just for a narrative.

Right?! It's absolutely sickening, Devon M. I can't wrap my head around how they can just say no to taking him back!

I completely agree, Sofia, it's unbelievable. How does the legal process even allow a country to refuse a citizen in a case like this?

I agree, Sofia; the logic used here is indefensible. It is worth noting that Pakistan has previously refused several deportation requests based on similar diplomatic technicalities.

This is absolutely infuriating to watch. The audacity of that claim is just staggering. I can't believe this is actually happening—it feels like a total failure of justice. Does anyone know if there's any legal way around this deadlock?
