#10... Got plenty of Great Whites down here who have over stayed their welcome. Would you believe some people want to make pets of them. Maybe your illegals may want to do the same JS

As the French were removing the immigrants from their soil yesterday, they illegals were shouting about their Human rights. Not long before a court case is raised. We can all predict the outcome.

Re: Just a thought
Yesterday on Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2, he did a discussion about the Migrants coming in from Libya.
I wrote in with my comments. He never mentioned them , He has a Face book for comments on his show.
so I copied it to that. it was on for a couple of hours and then deleted. So I presume that the BBC is censored,
this is the letter below, I do not think it is offensive or anything like that. What do you think??.........................

. Hi Jeremy,
regarding the illegals pouring into Italy and Greece from North Africa.
Does no one ever learn a lesson?
90 % of these are all fit young men of a Fighting age, all M*****, ISIL have said many times, they are sending their operatives into Europe and UK with the illegals, and now have around 5,000 here awaiting the call for the Jihad.
Gadhafi said, before the West had him deposed, "We do not need to fight the West, we will take over with weight of numbers."
What he said is coming True.
We will have to do what P.M. Mr Abbot of Australia is doing, he is sending the boat people back to Indonesia. We should do the same. Send them back to Libya, Turkey and Syria, then the People smugglers will be out of business.
It is an invasion.
Welcome to World War 3.
I was a Hostage in Iran after the Ayatollah`s Revolution, plans were being made then to destroy the West.
Tell all the daft Do Gooders and all our Politicians to get wise to themselves.

Brian

Re: Just a thought
HI John.
The more things change the more they remain the same, I think that is the saying. Haven't you seen the demos against more boat people immigrants both here in Aus and overseas, And they still have the rent-a-crowd from the universities with police protection hurling insults at older people demonstrating who only want their country for their children as good as they had it.
To say that Britain will not be taking any of those coming across the Med is like saying the sun wont rise tomorrow, UNLESS they get out of the EU it will happen.
Cheers Des

Re: Just a thought
#18...John at risk of running the gauntlet and accused of being a Russian lover, during the Cold War period it was headlines news whenever a Russian be it a sportsman or woman or a government person defected and big things made of it. The defectors no one ever among the general public were really told why they defected other than the bad political situation and was made use of as a political subject, they could have robbed a bank for all we knew. There will always be defections in any society for one reason or another. The US is sitting at the moment on the biggest one they have had, and has probably cost lives as well as jobs to other western nations and might just be the reins held by the Russian Intelligent Services on holding back from revealing private correspondences between various nations. For a Cipher Clerk who handles such messages and can read at will, will have a wealth of knowledge. What he did was to me a heinous thing to do and should if he ever returns to the USA receive just punishment. However the deed has now been done and every scrap of information that he had or knew, plus other bits which he maybe of thought were inconsequential will have been well and truly analysed by now. If Russia and China were such bad places one would expect to see a steady stream of refugees, one doesn't, and this to me means that in general the populations of such countries are patriotic and content with their lot, otherwise the refugee problem from the Middle East would be minute compared to the outflow from them. Britain also has had its share of turncoats in our lifetime and at certain times this gave rise to problems with the US, and how much they knew and how much secrecy was lost. It is the function of certain government departments to keep certain secrets and out here I consider the boat people one of them, and hope the government doesn't fall on its own sword by making stupid statements to the press. When one talks about Russia as an adversary one also has to throw in the pot the likes of China and certain other countries of similar political persuasion they are probably going to back those they are of a like mind with, thinking they may be the next on the chopping block. During the last great conflict nearly every country in Europe went pro German or Nazi, maybe not at first but when they saw the way the outcome was heading soon changed sides. Any conflict today will have the same results and no good will come of it. JS
