Why is the fact that this man is Irish worthy of being in the headline? You would never put "English man arrested" or "West Indian man arrested"
It may be of passing interest to mention this in the article but not in the headline and headline link under most recent. You have put half the article in the headline! Lazy Anna of The Borehamwood Times.

If he's convicted, could we please deport back to Ireland? No, didn't think so! As if we don't have enough home-grown scubags, we have to import even more!

Paddy Scally would be a more appropriate name.

If this were possible it would be subject to all the UK scumbags arrested overseas getting returned to the UK you daft idiot.

The Irish issue is relevant as this person is an Irish visitor from an Irish address as opposed to someone living here of Irish decent.

True - but at least our police never get bored!

And surely, just because over a third of all crime is committed by foreign nationals it doesn't mean we can't afford all the costs associated - our courts, layers, police, social workers, interpreters, and jails must be so cheap to organise run!

I think we should be applauded for our lenient come a get it attitude here. Stuff the victims eh!
