An anti-immigration activist has pleaded guilty to criminal damage after slashing a migrant boat with a knife.
Daniel Thomas, founder of Patriot Platform, admitted the charge at Portsmouth Crown Court on Thursday.
So while he awaits sentencing on that charge it’s worth a comparison..
Halil Dal (Bournemouth, September 2025).
30-year-old Turkish asylum seeker Halil Dal smashed a glass bottle against a wall and stabbed/slashed a man multiple times in the back outside a Bournemouth nightclub.
Dal pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH). He received a 24-week prison sentence suspended for 18 months, alongside an electronic monitoring tag and a curfew, meaning he avoided immediate custody and deportation.
There’s something seriously wrong with a system where an unprovoked attack on a person results in a suspended sentence, while damaging an inflatable boat goes to the Crown Court.
