A question actually: does trying to keep people with mental health needs out of prison where possible and safe for others count as "do-gooding"? Because it could be seen as a bit liberal, a bit pinko, a bit Guardian reader.

Interesting - how many have been deported then? And why he only got a suspended sentence is strange - possibly.

Not sure about numbers. You could put an FOI through for specifics. 

 

I think he only got a suspended sentence because there is a rumour he is a flasher

I could do that, if I was really that bothered, but I assumed you had something to back up you statement.

I wouldn't count that as do-gooding.  We all know that there are genuine cases where people get involved with the law due to mental health problem which are not addressed.

We need to be a caring society but  far less accepting of serious crime,  especially that committed be people we have have welcomed into our country.

I say especially those people because they,  in particular,   are the reason for much of the anti-asylum  rhetoric we hear and it's hard to argue that they deserve our compassion as such.

I don’t think it is.  But of course, there are degrees of mental illness and there are those who will feign or exaggerate mental illness as mitigation for their crime.

Indeed.

Mental elf is the new go to when someone is an absolute tosser.

 

What ever happened to some people just being horrible and nasty?  Why does there always have to be something allegedly wrong with them.
