Somewhere between Kafka and Carry On films, British justice has now entered the Twilight Zone: a Kuwaiti asylum seeker caught trawling underage children online avoids jail because, apparently, he “didn’t know it was wrong.”
Let’s pause here. So if I say “Sorry officer, I didn’t know stabbing people was frowned upon,” do I get to skip prison and collect £200 on the way out? What next — burglars claiming they thought houses came with complimentary TVs? Bank robbers insisting they just assumed money floats into sacks if you point at the cashier the right way?
This isn’t justice. This is lunacy dressed up in a robe and a wig. And it sends one crystal-clear message: the courts have officially opened the “Didn’t Know” Department. Future excuses might include:
- “I didn’t know heroin was addictive.”
- “I didn’t know setting fire to schools was frowned upon.”
- “I didn’t know gravity was real, that’s why I pushed him off the balcony.”
🧠 When Common Sense Gets Deported
The tragedy isn’t just the absurdity of the excuse — it’s that the victims and the community get a justice system shrugging at them. While parents are running vigilante sting operations, the court is essentially saying: “Oh, bless him, he didn’t know. Cultural differences, you see.”
No. Stop. Protecting children is not a “cultural misunderstanding.” It’s not up for debate. The law doesn’t bend because someone claims they didn’t get the memo. If this is the precedent, we may as well replace prison sentences with compulsory leaflets titled “Ten Things You Really Shouldn’t Do in Britain.”
