ARTICLE SUMMARY

Asylum fraudster told to pay back £1

AN IRANIAN asylum seeker who swindled £25,000 in state benefits was yesterday ordered to pay back just £1 – despite having more than £500,000 in savings.

SICK JOKE?!

It is quite obvious that this foreign arsehole, has paid off the judge in this particular case! If he hasn't, then the fool of a judge should pay back all the money that he has allowed the swindler to get away with, and then he should be sacked!But, with the PC left wing brigade in charge at the moment, is that likely to happen? We all know the answer to that!

I thought that the powers that be have the right to freeze and seize assets.

EITHER

Get the money off the Iranian or failing that make the judge pay. Any why should it take 2 months to deport him? Deport him now, and the judge also.

£500,000

How did this criminal accrue half a million pounds? It must be the profit from some crime. If he can't provide evidence of where this came from then it should be seized like they would seize the assets of a drug dealer or people smuggler.
Send the bailiffes in and seize the cars. I've been in full time employment for the last twenty years and I can't afford a jag!

HE HAS NOT GONE YET

This criminal has not gone yet and I wish I could get an even money bet that he will not go. Also if he has relatives here they should be put on a plane with him.

COULD YOU MAKE THIS UP?

What an idiotic half witted judge to make such a decision.
The only thing that surprises me is that the Iranian criminal has not been awarded another £25000 of taxes payers money to help him settle back in Iran!!!

ASYLUM FRAUDSTER TOLD TO PAY BACK £1

Wow! This really opens my eyes.

To think that I could have got rich by cheating the system like this man.

instead I'm as 'poor as a church mouse' just because I choose to work and pay my taxes.

If anybody tells me that being a crook doesn't pay, I'll point this article out to them.

THIS INFURIATES ME

I resent our taxes being used for migrants. This asylum seeker has stolen from the people who offered him refuge.
Where is his honour ?
Where is his integrity?
He has none.
We should stop treating immigrants as though they deserve to have our money, our lifestyle, and our country.
The migrant should have to prove their entitlement by working and contributing to our tax system for 5 years before they are paid a penny !!!
