Don't you have to apply for asylum prior to boarding the plane? (someone is welcome to correct me)

No you don't, who would you lodge your application for asylum with?

Yes holy thread resurrection and all that.

The case below is an interesting one. A Jaimaican national comes to this country illegally in 2000 and is sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder of a school boy in 2001. The judge at the time ordered his deportation once he had served his sentence. However once released in 2012 he, for the first time, claimed he was gay and the Court of Appeal ruled that he could not be sent back to Jamaica because he could face degrading treatment for being homosexual that would breach his human rights.

Dave should put him up. He has plenty of gaffs.

I'm sure he is genuinely gay and not at all making it up at all oh no.

11 1/2 years in jail? Rather strange definition of "life"

Indeed.

The minimum term/tariff for life imprisonment in this country for those who commit murder whilst under the age of 18 is 12 years in this country. Take away a few few months whilst they are banged up awaiting trial and you have your 11 1/2 years.

The killer of Philip Lawrence was also out in 12 years.
