Stopped at the border

[Ken L]

This weekend, three young people were stopped at the UK border, detained under the terrorism act and then deported.
One was Canadian, one was American and one was Austrian and not one of them was a threat to anybody.
Their names are Lauren Southern, Brittany Pettibone and Martin Sellner. Two journalists and a political activist.
You may or may or may not agree with their politics (and I still haven't quite formed an opinion of Martin) but there is something deeply worrying about a situation where people who hold the wrong opinions or want to interview the wrong people are prevented from entering the UK but known ISIS fighters are allowed to return without hinderance and foreign hate preachers like Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri are welcomed in with open arms.

 

We live in interesting times.

I think most of the hijackers and half the fricking passengers on a flight were welcomed with open arms in 2001 !

It was a year earlier and they're still laughing.

I wander if any of the 9 have got a job...?

Probably breeding themselves into a bigger house and moaning how badly they are treated

We also not only alowed Mohammad bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud (the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia) in, we also rolled out the red carpet, despite the Saudi regime's human rights record and the fact that they are known to be sponsoring terrorism and pumping money into radicalising mosques.

 

Who is the bigger threat to social cohesion?
