No, if that's what I meant then I would have said that; don't try to justify your straw man by pretending you're reading between the lines.

But therefore he's the least sympathetic victim of the Windrush scandal. If you need more help understanding, I'd start with this.

Why would this guy need to be sympathetic? He is British, convicted murderer or not. Do you think we should be deporting British citizens because they were convicted of a crime? Because that's worked out so well in the past... You trying to throw caveats in there to justify his deportation is just fucking bizarre.

Well we got Australia that way and I quite like the Australians generally. So not all bad I guess.

I didn't try to justify his deportation, you're just so desperate for a fight or some worthless clout that you're pretending I did.

The article makes this man out to be a model prisoner, and states the hardships he went through in his time he was stuck in Jamaica. Nothing in the article is a flag justifies you saying this man is the "least sympathetic human in the entire story".

The other poster's relevant then as it seems the only basis you have for criticising this man is that he served a sentence on a murder charge. That poster then is justified in saying that your criticism runs contrary to concepts like rehabilitation.

Or is there some other reason you think this man is somehow the bad guy in this story?

I think being a murderer and having a resulting bit of ill fortune which was corrected makes him less sympathetic than others affected by the Windrush scandal.

Edit: The good old seagull... shit all over the place and then fly away block and run. You won't be missed.

Right, so you confirm what the poster said - that your criticism is based on his previous conviction. That isn't them creating a strawman, its them just repeating what you said back to you and then you getting annoyed.

So exactly what I said, then?
