Wonder how long before they're out and if they'll be deported.

I think they are all UK citizens so deporting them might be tricky, I wonder if the Falkland Islands need anyone to help out with Penguin counting

As for the how long till they are out, a good few years anyway, probably more than half of the sentence. Although I did hear of someone up here sentenced to 11 months for a catalogue of offences, 2 months into the sentence he was going to be released on a tag, the only reason he wasn't was he got lifted the first night he was out on weekend leave.

All from Africa and settled here but, yes, UK citizens. I might be wrong but I thought that under certain circumstances citizenship can be rescinded by the Home Secretary. Not that I expect that to happen of course, I have the nasty feeling we'll be saddled with these people for a very long time.
