I've seen plenty of commentators remark on their frustration with how
crime is handled in their country and the meagre sentences most people
get for serious crimes. Meanwhile, people who do mean tweets get longer
jail terms than serious criminals. Many of these comments are probably
by people who just repeat the same gossip they hear from others.

There was a recent case in the UK where a woman who wrote a "mean
tweet", then deleted it 2 hours later (after someone had taken a
screen shot and e-mailed it to the Crown Prosecutor) got 3 1/2 years.
It seems she got bad advise from the public defender and took a guilty
plea while others who did likewise with her but pled not guilty were
either acquitted or token sentences like probation.

That is of course the risk one takes when you 'take a plea' but this
one seems especially high even though she is likely to get parole in 9
months.

I personally think it's appalling that suspended sentences are an
available sentencing option for rape of a minor but then I'm not in
the UK.

Bottom line is the current British government is in fear of Pakistani
migrants be they legal or illegal and think they can't win the next
election without Muslim ballots.

 If they're so scared of them, why do they keep importing thousands of them at
a time?
 

They're not just importing them in droves, the Labour government is actually planning to spend billions of pounds for a new airport IN PAKISTAN! Apparently, most Pakistanis in Britain come for a specific area in Pakistan that is fairly distant from the nearest airport so Labour wants to build them an airport, presumably so it will be easier for them to get back and forth when they go back to their home country.
Among other things, Pakistanis often take their pubescent daughters back to Pakistan, supposedly for a holiday, but actually to be married to a first cousin they've often never met and who may be a decade older. The girls are frequently horrified when they get to Pakistan and learn their parents' plan; their father or older brothers will literally kill them to prevent shame to the family if the girl objects. Some girls simply kill themselves to avoid the forced marriage. Apparently, Labour wants to make this process easier for British Pakistanis with a shiny new airport....
