Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
#69... I think to most of them the biggest fear they have is not being able to support a family, and therefore the fear is no work. Knowing they will not be allowed to starve they proceed elsewhere. To those in certain of the building trades they used to be called journeymen. However they had the good fortune to find work usually in a radius of a couple of hundred miles. I was talking to a friend last night just back from Scotland and England and was the first time back in 40 years, he said he enjoyed it but didn't like the idea of paying 21 pounds for a hamburger, thinking in terms of dollars it was even steep. I cant recollect ever paying that much and I was back a couple of years ago, he has either been fleeced or in a very posh eating house. Cheers JS

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
not comply to the Christian laws and mix with the population there that's when the no go areas start we have them now in parts of London ? jp
Not just London John
There are many many towns here that have No Go Areas, we have them here where I live.
One road here has a Big banner across it, "WELCOME TO IS***IC BOLTON."
I am a complete stranger in the town I was born in. I am not wanted here.
All caused by successive politicians and governments.

Migrant crisis: UK aid budget will help fund refugees response - Osborne
Money from the UK's international aid budget is to be used to help councils house refugees from Syria, Chancellor George Osborne has said.
He told the BBC Britain "needs to do even more" to help refugees and said there should be a "fundamental rethink" of how the UK uses the £12bn budget.
Mr Osborne said the UK would focus on refugees coming directly from Syria.
The prime minister will give details of the government's plan in a Commons statement on the issue on Monday.
David Cameron has previously said the UK will take in "thousands" more refugees from Syria. Mr Osborne would not give a number when questioned on the matter on the Andrew Marr show.
•Charities said the British public's response to the refugee crisis had been "extraordinary", with hundreds of thousands of pounds raised so far
•
•The Scottish government pledged £1m for Scotland's response to the crisis
•
•A petition calling for Britain to take more refugees has received more than 420,000 signatures - while a petition saying no more immigrants should be allowed into the UK has received more than 71,000 signatures.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
I have no problem with us receiving genuine refugees, but are these genuine?
They talk about coming to a safe country, they majority of them have been staying in Turkey a ****** country, where brits go on holiday, how unsafe is that?
I know that Jordan has set up camps to house the refugees, but how many other Arab countries are wading to offer assistance?
I don't if it's just me, but why do they want to come to Christian countries?
BBC prattles on about how many families there are but as far as I can see the vast majority are single men. Why aren't they fighting for their country.
I hope that the UK does not send our lads into fight in order to resolve the differences.
Let the Arabs get their act together and sort it out.
Regards
Vic
PS every single one of those refugees heading to Germany and given status under EU rules will be able to come to the UK. A sobering thought.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
We must have different laws to Germany,I was listening to a German government official he said we have deported 10.000 and I expect that we will be deporting another 75.000. All those illegals Pakistani's Afghans Africans etc that got into Germany with the Syrians I don't think they will hang around tobe processed they will be off like a shot.I think maybe the German who was talking of deportation had these in mind.If they can deport them why can't we.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
I cannot understand how stupid and Naïve our Government and Politicians are.
ISIS have already told us they were sending their operatives over with these Invaders. to await the Call for the forth coming Jihad,
Ghaddafi has already told us that they do not have to fight us as they will take over with weight of numbers, How many more warnings do the politicians and Government and the silly people of this once great nation need.
They have said Many Many times, `You have bombed our countries so now we are going to bomb yours`, and still they come in, by the hundred thousand, unchecked, we are handing British peoples lives on a plate to the Terrorists.
I already live in a Foreign Land, My MP is a moo,slim, my Town Councillors are all moo,slim. my neighbours are all moo, slim.
I despair once again.

I wonder how many of the 420,000 were indigenous British

Europe is now in worse difficulties as when Ghengis Khan almost succeeded in overrunning Europe all those centuries ago. JS

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
Crowds on Torquay station yesterday saying 'Welcome homes to Immigrants' have they never heard of 'The road to hell is paved with good intentions' also we have one of the highest unemployment rates in the UK, even in summer at the height of the tourist season, in winter it shoots up. Beggars belief, but I suppose I am being very unchristian!!
