No, no Jeremy. You are trying to slimeball your way out of this one!  You specifically referred to: “arrest reports and court records of those that are apprehended show that this kind of crime is overwhelmingly committed by local youths who are commissioned to steal particular types of phone by organised crime gangs who have channels to sell them for parts or export abroad.”Now you seem to be saying that you haven’t seen a single arrest report or court record of any kind that ‘overwhelmingly’ states the crimes are committed by ‘local youths’.  You are merely making presumptions, presumably after reading some left wing press. Implying that you have read court records etc is therefore a lie isn’t it?  Ironically, you may be right that some ‘local youths’, presume you infer youths born in the UK, have been arrested for such crimes but do you have conclusive evidence that the ‘local youths’ aren’t commissioned by these ‘organised criminal gangs’  who are themselves illegals immigrants? “presumed you were the sort of person who equated asylum seekers with illegal immigrants. As there are virtually no safe routes into the country for those seeking asylum, people are forced to use irregular routes making them criminals from day one in the view of some.”Your presumption is wrong and unusually insulting for you as you usually debate intelligently and with some integrity! There are in fact safe routes for asylum seekers. The Gov.uk website provides full figures of asylum seekers arriving legally and not in small boats. On checking figures I find it quite astounding that 38% of asylum seekers arrive here on Student Visas with no intention of studying at all. These are devious and dishonest asylum seekers but they have nonetheless come here by ‘legal means’.  In my view they should be immediately deported and not processed for asylum.
