Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
i think the bottom line we have had it drummed into us that we cant afford this we have to cut that and so on as a country and as ministers of the country we owe it to all the tax payers and not to squander tax from everyone from the basic tax payer to the bankers people are setting alarm clocks 4am to go and earn minimum wages nobody seems to think of them and its about time they did we will soon have gangs going around in every city in the uk insulting our way of life and that should be drummed into anyone who wants to be a part of this country you can go out faster than you come in? jp

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
Jim it was not, .. quote,,, "Below the belt". the statement came from my Jewish friend, who has no love of Germans or the moo,slims who are taking over Europe,,
I think he has more right to say it than anyone. So there is no need for amateur dramatics on a subject that you do not understand as much as the Jewish people do who did lose family in Germany..
The Jewish people have a sense of humour far different than we have, but a sense of humour nevertheless.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
why is it not many want to go to Russia there is more land mass than the usa the migrants should be stopped at ports the people smugglers should be tried and jailed if great Britain put passengers on an unseaworthy boat jail would be waiting for them so it shows many palms are greased along the way it should be like Australia turn the boats around its the people that makes a country and the doors are wide open for the Islamic state to grow even larger looting and taking over all weaponry why are we leaving things this late when we know the outcome on day they will take over a country with nuclear power and they would not think twice on using them? jp

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
John, I am catching up on posts after being away a while as you know, It has been reported in the media today that certain cancer drugs seen as to expensive because of N H S Cuts are to be withdrawn of the N H S menu if you like, Most of these drugs are for breast cancer and other very difficult cancer to treat. There is also been a reduction in the benefit cap across Britain from 23,000 to 20,000, The police force are to use buses because another 40% cut means they wont have squad cars to get around in. Now lets assume we take another few 1,000 asylum seekers in as we can afford to but I think I have just put our priorities in order. This is the first summer of many to come what happens in the future in the calm waters of the Medi because as we all know this wont stop here. Do we want an end to more cuts or more asylum seekers, Charity starts at home mate as much as I feel for the genuine asylum seekers. Enough is enough this island will go under in the next 5 years if this is how it is to be run, And before I get an ear bashing that goes for whoever is in power Terry.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
Hi Terry
When at the height of the boat people coming to Australia, a poncy woman criticized me in a letter to the paper because I said that these people came through seven M countries to get here. I wrote back, how many can I put your name down for to live with you, I never heard another word.
Cheers Des

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
taff the green party would like to hang you for building houses in what they call green belt land its because most of them live in green belt land so its a not in my back yard thing as I have said its a very sad situation but this should be sorted in the country of origin I always thought that was a job for the united nations peace keepers job the UAE will only take so many but not enough the EU be a thing of the past after the promise vote and terry you are right about all the cuts to tax payers health treating cancer I know first hand the over worked short staffed hospitals I have near enough lived in them lately ? open palaces and country estates to tent cities and see if that's allowed no chance as long as the problem is in someone else's back yard not theirs will do? jp

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
It is indeed a very sorry and disturbing sight put out to the world re the influx of uncontrollable crowds. hordes, flocks. whatever one calls them. Over the years it has just been a matter of time before such happened, and I for one amongst many others have made claim it was a bad days work when our unknowledgeable politicians decided to become part of European Law with supposedly no borders. Anyone with a grain of sense could see the eventual outcome and the UK now stands to be chastised by Germany and other countries, if they dont do what they are told. Your present PM should have done which he has half heartedly promised the British people for a number of years now whether to stay or go in the E.U. he has dithered that long he has left it too late. The UK is now a satellite of Germany who is apparently running the show. Make no mistakes there was plenty of warning given. Europe doesn't have a soft underbelly it is soft in the head all over, to think that various countries in different economic straits could act as one. Cheers JS

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
It is the USA and some allies that are currently bombing Syria. Yet to date I have not heard the US say it ill take in refugees from Syria!
Cameron is correct I taking some in through the front door, at least then you can see who the are, not like the illegals. But if there is to be permanent solution to the world wide problem of refugees then the world as a whole must act on It, not just a few countries.


Happy daze John in Oz.

Re: Legal Aid for Terror Suspects.
I don't think its against the eu to give a migrant a visa to come here?? say 2 years that way any trouble out of them they can be forcibly removed without all the human rights crap they can jump around and after the 2 years they can apply again that's if our keepers in Europe have not changed that law as well? jp just emailed that post to number 10 downing street see what happens? jp
