Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
we have just been told by our keepers in Europe that we have to take more asylum seekers in?? what if we said ok but the cost of keeping them will come out of what you get off us I think it would be a different story? when are we going back to being an island again doing things like boarder control visa's and deportation without big/bigger brother telling us what to do.. jp

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
There are approximately six Solicitors that specifically trade in foreigners v the UK, and they do it under the banner of the Human Rights Acts.
There is a company in Birmingham that trawls Afghanistan and any other country that our forces have been involved in wars. They interview locals in order to determine how they have been treated, if badly, the gather evidence for suing the UK Government under the HRA.
The Birmingham company makes millions a years and works on no win no fee.
A change should be made to the rules, in my opinion - Lawyers seeking to sue the UK Government on behalf of non resident foreign nationals, should use their own money, until the case is settled.
Like most of you watching the news, constant bombardment of immigrant news, notice that there are very few females, very few families, majority all single men.
Saw a group of young lads interviewed by the Anti British Broadcasting Corporation, they claimed that they were between, 14 and 19 years old. The majority of them had heavy chin growths that indicated that they were a lot older, interviewer accepted the information presented at face value.
Some Charlie in the EU Commission or whatever, wants countries fined for not accepting immigrants, looks like the UK is in prime spot for a fine. If I was in charge of the UK, I would inform the EU, for every fine you impose on the UK, we will reduce our contributions by the same amount.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
Today Harriet Harman was telling Cameron we have to take more and more "Invaders"
I would go along with that, if she took in some of those young men of a fighting age who are all moo, slims. and IS operatives, into her very large home, plenty of spare rooms in there.
BUT I guess she would not like to do that.
Andy Burnham was also saying He wanted ALL the Invaders in Calais bringing over to England. I wonder if he would put some of them in his home?
Hypocrites, spring to mind. Not on my door step, I am surrounded by more and more. Hotels here are filling up with them.
I do not hear a word of English spoken when I go in town now. I am a foreigner in my home town.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
This is one of the hidden costs with such problems. Who provides the shelter, the food and all the other services required to keep them alive? It is all well and good for Germany to say the UK must take more, but is Germany going to provide funds
for this? Refugees whether genuine or just economic ones there are now more than after WW2. A body such as UN should be doing more to reduce the needs for people to move around the way they are claiming in many cases to be refugees when they are not. Here in Oz we are sending back to country of origin
a dozen or so a week. But it takes months in some cases to find out where they came from when they very conveniently arrive without any papers.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
The only good point to be coming out of all this mahem in Europe, the Greek money problems etc , and now the migrant problem because a bunch of twats decided there would be no borders in a huge land mass, is if anyone votes in the referendum to stay in the EU, they are mental. I should think the whole cockup is helping the NO vote KT

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
The bloody cheek of these frogs, yesterday the Frogs, Italians and the germans called for everyone to share the migrants, as Germany is being overwhelmed, strange they did not give a stuff in France when they are rushing the trains and ships to get here, the Frogs did not even attempt to register them, which is what the Hungarians are insisting on. strange none of these migrants want to go to Poland , Spain or Portugal. Merkel opened her big mouth, now she can deal with the flood kt

Belasconi the Italian stallion had a great description of Merkel, he called her an un f***able lard ****, kt
