1. Cant read post, behind a subscription

2. I take it a dental X-ray to determine age was too inhumane, although at lot of Brits would love to be provided with a dentist at all. Asylum seekers apparently get given dentists

3. Our asylum and immigration laws systemically oppress women and children.

   This man will now be put in a classroom with children whose right’s the judge doesn’t give a flying shit about.

4. *The case, supported by the Refugee Council, involved Hugo Norton-Taylor, an upper tribunal judge who, last week, allowed refugees from Gaza to use the Ukrainian war resettlement scheme to come to the UK.*

   *Two months later, however, his legal team launched a claim for the decision to be judicially reviewed and in December that year a judge ordered that he be moved to children’s accommodation while his case was decided*

   What is going on with this political activist cosplaying as a judge? First he rejects the evidence of his eyes & ears by declaring Gazans are Ukrainians and now we’re meant to be persuaded that balding men with wrinkled foreheads are under 18.

5. Most people will never know how often this happens.

   You’re not allowed to say “you are clearly at least 35 years old” because you’re not allowed to analyze age by looking at photographs of them or their appearance alone.

   Social workers and NGOs have to be complicit in some of them too.

   Someone who prefers to talk with younger people could be seen as they are less mature and thus younger in age themselves

   Judges routinely accept people’s ages based of it being plausible to be one of the 5 date of births they claimed is correct because their mother told them before they left

6. We seriously have problems and people in the wrong positions.

   These judges need sacking.

7. I recall a boy in school going bald at 15.

8. Guy I went to school with had a pretty thoroughly receding hairline at 16-17. That isn’t disqualifying.

9. Remember when the guardian did a front page spread of what was clearly a 40 year old man as a “16 year old asylum seeker”

10. This is a comment on whether or not he is or is not a child. I just wanted to mention that I grew up with someone who was greying and balding by 16, his family apparently had a history of it, so it is possible

11. The times is becoming more like the daily mail everyday

12. I started receding when I was 16.

13. I had a mate in my teens who had to carry his ID all the time to get child fare on the bus.

    He was also the friend that bought us beer. Beard and widows peak at 14/15

14. My brother was bald at 17.
    This story is why I don’t read murdoch press any more. They only ever publish divisive nonsense like this now.

15. RAGEBAIT. Reading the top 10 comments it works every time. Honest to god Reddit is turning into Facebook or Twitter. Can’t properly engage with people because ‘it’s immigrants’ ‘it’s foreigners’ or ‘it’s the left wing wokerati’

16. The press is *Der Sturmer*-ing at maximum throughput today, I swear.

    How many “ethnic bad” articles can one read in a day?
