Man jailed for four years in Hull Fair child snatch case
A man who tried to snatch a five-year-old boy from Hull Fair has been jailed for four and a half years.
Daniel Banasik, 28, grabbed the child while the little boy was holding his mother's hand. Banasik was seen to signal to a friend seconds before he tried to grab the child.

Banasik was given the jail sentence at Hull Crown Court this morning after a jury took just 50 minutes to convict him of attempted child abduction.
The honorary Recorder of Hull and the East Riding Judge Michael Mettyear said: "It is not possible to be sure what would have happened to the boy had the attempt to abduct him been successful but I’m sure that the intention was to do him serious harm in one way or another, at the least the permanent removal of him from his family."

“ArthurHunt - I think if you'd watched Question Time on Thurs (I actually caught it a day later on iplayer - because I refuse to pay the BBC license fee) - you'd see that there's a great ground swell of opinion in favour of what you were just saying. I think All 3 main parties can no longer brush this under the carpet by screaming "racist" just like Brown did.
I strongly feel there is political change coming on the horizon - maybe not in time for the next election, but soon.”

I can only assume from reading your xenophobic rantings on many stories on this site that your username is in fact cockney rhyming slang”

“All the efforts people have put into building up the UK over the last 1000 years have been squandered by a bunch of half wits who still think they are putting the world to rights in the student bars of the 1970s and 1980s. We must get out of the EU and stop all this mass immigration. Immigration without quality control is madness, no control means you just let every scroat and scrounger come here for free and we end up paying for them, with absolutely no say in the matter. If you object you get put down by the sneering lefties as a 'dinosaur' or their favourite buzzword 'racist'.
This country has gone to the dogs since we opened our borders and surrendered control to the EU. People will always go where the money is, get £60 a week in Romania or £400 a week here (no questions asked), it's a no brainer for them.
The establishment now is so riddled with traitors, do-gooders, trendy lefties and New Labour luvvies this country is finished, it's not worth paying taxes any more rob what you can off the system as the system has surrendered to all and sundry. Only a revolution now will save us and we are all to scared of losing our job (me included) to do or say anything. Chuck your grandad's medal in the bin, he wasted his time...”

“I too believe that the eastern europeans over here should be sent back to their own countries and free up the jobs here.
As for this scum's sentencing, it's diabolical, the judicial system in this country is too soft, four years isn't enough for an attempted kidnapping, what if he had succeeded in kidnapping the little boy, what did he and his friends intend to do with him? Remember James Bulger and Ben Needham? Imagine the trauma the little boy must have gone through, let alone his parents.”

“As the recession has kicked in we've been left with a vast pool of these Euro job-tourists, who are now unemployed and kicking their heels,many entering all sorts of criminality from drugs and alcohol crime, to extortion, fraud and assaults. The gravy train has stopped serving lunch, so ditch EU ties and give Parliament the right to send the lot back, we'll probably need their accommodation for round two anyway, when the Romanian mafia begin to arrive to fill their shoes.”

“4 years? you need to think- what was he intending to do with this little lad? Is he really safe to be re-entered in to society? Also, I agree with the other comments, he should be sent back to Poland to do his time. Or better still, a Thai jail would be a good choice for an offence of this nature.”

“Why is there no picture of this offender - maybe some other kids have been abused or in danger from this man.
I find it difficult to believe that there has not been any involvement or build up to a kidnapping in public?
Why also are we seeing abusers walk without jail time .... the judges are out of touch with the public”

“I hope the police are making on-going efforts to trace the other men that were involved with him in this attempt.”
