The tragic case of Deng Chol Majek, the so-called “youth” who murdered a 27-year-old woman, isn’t just another name in a courtroom docket—it’s a warning shot. His sentencing is now on hold because the court is doing what should’ve happened the minute he arrived: figuring out how old he actually is.

Spoiler: when someone claiming to be 17 looks like they’ve been shaving since the Iraq War, maybe—just maybe—we need a little more scrutiny before handing over taxpayer-funded everything.

🧸 The “Child” Crisis: Soft Borders, Hard Consequences

Let’s be brutally honest: Britain’s asylum system is being played like a charity shop violin. The trick? Show up, claim you’re underage, and boom—fewer checks, more benefits, and an express pass to housing and schooling. Meanwhile, actual British kids are being taught algebra in leaking classrooms and sharing pencils like it’s 1943.

Deng Majek isn’t an anomaly. He’s a symptom of a spineless system, terrified of being called mean while families bury their daughters. It’s not racist to ask questions—it’s basic safeguarding. If you wouldn’t let a stranger into your child’s bedroom without ID, why is the state doing exactly that across the nation?

And the real kicker? While judges twiddle thumbs over age verification, victims’ families are left in emotional limbo. Mourning while waiting to hear whether their daughter was murdered by a “boy” or a fully grown man with a rap sheet.

It’s not immigration Britain fears. It’s uncontrolled immigration wrapped in lies and enabled by institutions that treat national security like a PR minefield.

🚨 Challenges 🚨

How many more victims will it take before age verification becomes mandatory, immediate, and medically verified? Why are we still pretending this isn’t a national scandal?
