Keep in mind there is strong chance of this person being sexually abused himself as a youngster. In many cases of serial abusers it comes as no surprise he will have been abused by a person in the family or known to the family.

That may be a reason BUT CANNOT be an excuse!

Labour MP John Mann slammed the government's decision to spend thousands on flying Richard Fruin to the UK---OP

Seriously --how can it cost thousands , a 1 way ticket .....about 300 quid, I think that MP has been holding up the parliament bar to long---where drinks are subsidised at the taxpayer expense------still it makes a good sound bite in a British institution that over the years has had more then its own share of kiddy fiddlers.........

All the people to process documents, provide security and get him through formalities to the plane, escorts on the plane, security at the other end (I would hope). Probably talking about at least 5 tickets (and they will not be discounted) probably more to ensure kids are not sitting around him), manpower and other costs I bet it will actually be tens of thousands all up..

It's right that we Brits need to pay to clean up our own $hit.

it is absolutely shocking that taxpayers have to foot the bill he is a convicted paedophile if he cannot afford the air fare he should be left in cambodia let them deal with him there are far more needy cases in Thailand who should be helped I am sure the tax payers wouldn't mind helping these unfortunate people .

What's with all these Brit kiddie fiddlers? I hope the schools in Thailand begin taking background checks seriously or steer away from hiring British school teachers.

You think paedophilia is a peculiarly British institution? Don't be bloody naive.

The British taxpayer?

Seems 'kiddie fiddling' is not just a British disease despite what some think.....
