I really don't think this is the case at all.
Not sure of the rules in Spain, but usually holding someone on suspicion of, for example, drug trafficking, for 24 hours, is fine. Had the sniffer dogs been allowed in their rental car or villa, something would have been found for the charge to stick.
the problem was, the Police were 100% focused on finding a missing person, not on explaining that crime caused the person to go missing.
a one hour interview was almost certainly directed at what the two knew about where Jay went, what direction, on foot or by vehicle, what Jay was wearing etc. to be deemed "of no relevance to the case" tells you no questions about the background were posed. we all know these two men are more than relevant to the mystery. they are key.

@@wqsuuhhdrvjj there can be 101 reasons why people don't trust law enforcement, but that is irrelevant regarding how to survive when stopped by the police.
Golden rule: wherever you are in the world, when your car is stopped by the police, cooperate fully. Had Nahel done this, he would be alive now. it is very simple.
you can ask why people don't trust the police all you like, the reasons won't change the magic formula...cooperate with the police respectfully, and you have a very high chance of living to tell the tale. refuse to cooperate, and the chances of very grave consequences, even death, sky rocket. Political leaders and parents need to hammer this message home in the Arab and Muslim communities. Asian communities already learned this, they sre no problem at all. perfectly behaved and respectful. that's why we all knew the name of the criminal would be an Arab name, not a Chinese name.

@Dylanesque AHHH, so you finally admit that there are MANY factors in how a price of any good or service is determined! Well, well, well!
So, logically, all those SAME factors that make Costa Rican bananas cheaper than Spanish bananas in Spain will affect ALL trade between any 2 countries.
So, logically, pointing to ONE factor, Brexit, and saying "that ONE factor explains everything" is clearly ridiculous.
Thank you for highlighting why your dumb mantra of "it's brexit, it's brexit" is pure bs.
Now, as to your figures, explain how these figures are calculated, exactly. over what time frame, for example.

@qrsx66 Looks like English is not your first language, or reading comprehension is not your forte.
If you can't understand the difference between "taking land" and "accepting land that was offered", then I can't help you.
A small part of Palestine was proposed as a Jewish nation by the British, who were given the Palestinian Mandate after WW1 by the League of Nations. This offer was subsequently backed by the UN, who recognized Israel as an independent state. You can't rewrite history.
I don't consider the UN as a supreme arbiter of justice, but the majority of the people in power do, hence the vast majority of the planet, including some Arab states, recognize the right of Israel to exist, as a Jewish state. You are in a small minority.
Yes, Palestinians have the right to defend whatever they want to (remember, Israelis are Palestinians too, they live in the part of the globe known as Palestine). And after 3 wars between Israel and the Arab world, Israel has won 3 times. Palestinian Arabs are entitled to fight a fourth war, and lose for a fourth time if they choose to, but it won't help the Palestinian refugees at all.
Curious that you always support the weak.
What I recommend you do is support those who are morally right, not the weak, otherwise you might end up supporting the likes of the Ku Klux Klan, who, at the moment, are a very weak organization.

@qrsx66 There are plenty of examples of countries being established to fit the demographics on the ground.
Both Pakistan and Bangladesh were established as separate from India, to reflect the Muslim majority in those 2 countries, and whole migrations of people were set in motion to accommodate this aim. No refugees, as in the Palestine situation. Hindus moved into India, Muslims moved into Pakistan and Bangladesh. The UN accepted this relocation of populations and the new states it created.
Where you are right is that it is rare that countries are formed by mutual agreement of 2 radically different peoples. Usually it is all settled by war. So, for example, Germans living in what is now Poland were ordered by the victorious Allies to relocate to within the borders of the new Germany, as drawn by the Allies in 1945.
What is amazing is that even though Israel has won 3 wars against its Arab neighbors, it STILL seeks to accommodate Palestinian Arabs, rather than just commanding and forcing them into an area the borders of which Israel, and Israel alone, has established.
Israel has been too generous.

@sallyal5266 ooooh, that's such whole-hearted support, a nice little road trip to pose as heroes, staying in 5 star hotels along the way, getting lots of press coverage, SUCH a sacrifice.
listen, honey, "supporting Ukraine right to the end" is not a one off, narcissistic road trip. As I said, "right to the end" is volunteering to get shot in Chasov Yar.
what i did for the war is of no relevance, given I'm not blowing my trumpet about any 3 day road trip. get real.

oh, oh, a realization that Russia can't be kicked out of Ukraine?
But Ukraine is winning, we were told. Putin is dying of cancer, we were told. The Russian economy is in tatters, we were told. The Russians are running out of weapons, we were told. The Russians use drunken convicts and mercenaries, we were told. The Russians are so poorly equipped, they have to use shovels, we were told. Suddenly, after the very best of NATO training and top notch weapons, Ukraine can't win?

@Vanderearden indeed, the topic is civil unrest in France, but you decided to interject "police state" into the conversation. you steered away from the topic and created a new narrative by talking of a police state.
I introduced Japan to see if you would recognize the fact that there are PLENTY of NON police states on this planet that hardly ever suffer from the mayhem, looting, rioting, burning, carjacking, shootings we see in France and many Western countries.
There are.
So, what is their reason for success?
No, France is NOT a Police state. not at all. I have lived here for over 20 years and had a handful of interactions with the Police, including being stopped by traffic cops in Paris, at Perpignan train station, driving over the border with Spain, and it has always gone well. I have seen so many positive and non confrontational Police actions here that I'm left impressed. but then again, I am respectful and cooperative. Nahel wasn't.
Among the masses here, the big complaint is that France isn't enough of a Police state, in that it is clear the Muslim neighborhoods have been ceded to the local gangs, because what is the point in applying the law in such areas when all that results is mass protests and violence? Many in France talk about the disappearance of a police presence.

@Vanderearden again, child, you assume too much. you pretend to know my designs.
obviously i give you limited information. the nature of these exchanges is they can't include every thought I have on any given subject. you would be reading pages ceaselessly.
i am no victim and I don't seek victimhood, but for sure, you assume far too much without reflecting on exactly what I say and what I don't say. It's a skill you really need to develop.
The paying taxes one, let me help you out here, was designed to be the best example of a dichotomy, a genuine "either/or".
Broadly speaking, most people pay taxes because they are compelled to do so, by law, they do so unwillingly. There are a smaller number who do so willingly, assuming it is for the greater good of society.
whether I pay my taxes willingly or unwillingly is not the point.
the point is that the vast majority pay their taxes unwillingly, but they accept the fact they must, otherwise the agents of the law will come to arrest them. just one of the compromises we must make in life.
that doesn't mean such obligations put us in a "police state". it is just reality.
Back to Nahel. No one ever explained to Nahel that in such circumstances, it is best to comply, even though you disagree, because the consequences on non compliance are terrible.
you do the same thing every day in your life. yet for some bizarre reason you seem to think unless we all have perfect freedom do to as we wish, that somehow means we live in a police state!
why do you think Japan doesn't have the kind of problem France is now experiencing? Nor Russia. Nor Poland. Nor Taiwan. (psst, hint, homogeneity and respect for the law!)

just hysterical that these Mallorcans, who advocate for the EU, are now waking up to the horrors of the EU, freedom of movement, freedom to buy housing there and price out the locals, freedom to stay forever in Mallorca, the locals have lost their housing, their streets, their beaches, ha ha. EU freedom of movement is ruining you, Mallorca. Keep voting for pro EU parties to complete your ruination!

@rappakalja5295 I certainly do understand that there are some people on this planet who don't want there to be a war. Nearly all people I would guess (the Aidar, Tornado and Azov Ukrainian Nazis would be the exceptions, agreed?). I would imagine that nearly everyone wants NEITHER Ukrainians NOR Donbass Russians, NOR Russians to suffer. (again, Ukrainian Nazis probably an exception). These people who so dislike war might even, gasp, go and help ALL the victims of this war, the Donbass folk shelled by Ukraine for 8 years or those shelled relatively recently in Ukraine. People like Urey, due to the biased media coverage in the West, always seem to choose the victims in Ukraine and not those victims in the DPR or LPR, to run and help. On the other hand, biased media coverage in Russia will mean all aid and humanitarian assistance from Russia tends to be directed to the Donbass and other Russian speaking areas. gasp! Given that you support Ukraine/Nazi aggression, and presumably you have for the last 8 years, i know this is so difficult for you.

@qrsx66 again, you don't know the history.
no lands were invaded. the lands were purchased. learn the difference.
And yes, the Arab and Turkish landowners had every right to sell such land.
The moral question you need to consider is if the land sales were right, not the identity who settled such purchased land.
The Arab houses on offer are not those stolen from anyone. It may be an Arab style house, it may be previously occupied by Arabs, it may even have been on Arab soil before one of the 3 wars, winner takes all in war. send me the link to the article you read and I'll enlighten you on the most likely explanation.
Ah, so now the truth is out! You do NOT always back the weak! When the weak are the Klan, you do NOT back them! Only when "the weak" happen to be a group you perceive as weak, and whom you support, do you back them! Fascinating prejudice you have there!

@rollerrollerichson6258 First, UK should re-open its processing center in Calais.
Second, the UK needs to open no other processing centers at all. Applications can be made at the nearest UK embassy in whichever country the applicant lives, and processed in the UK.
Third, those granted asylum already have safe routes. They are called flights, trains, ferries. You know, the same safe routes you use when you travel?
Fourth, the UK needs no agreement with France whatsoever. Those asylum seekers granted asylum from France will be allowed to leave France. Believe me, France has no wish to keep them! Those granted asylum from other countries will have no need to go through France, as their asylum has been granted, so they may enter the UK directly.
Fifth, the UK is allowed to do whatever the UK Parliament in Westminster has passed into law. It is up to other countries and institutions to debate and protest what decisions they don't like. Westminster decides UK policy, not other places. got it?

@seantoner7392 as expected, you failed to quote the law that was broken, because there is no such law. An "article" of the UN has no legal force anywhere in the world. Try again.
But just to have a little fun with you, was the US invasion of Iraq also illegal?
And curious that you answer the question "what are the borders of Palestine?" by stating how much land you would have given Palestine! That's like being asked "what are the borders of Finland?" and answering, "I would give 70% of Finland to the Finns". Try again. where exactly is Palestine? Maybe start your answer by explaining the borders of the Palestinian Mandate as awarded by the League of Nations to Britain, 80% of which is now occupied by Jordan (10% MORE than you think the Palestinian Arabs deserve, so Israel is dues a whole chunk of Jordan back, by your calculations).
I would define the borders of Israel as those in place the day Israel was admitted into the UN, but would also fully back Israel's claim to any land conquered by Israel in subsequent wars. Obviously, Israel is not the whole of the Palestinian Mandate, as that would include all of Jordan, and the idea was to create a Jewish homeland and one for the Palestinian Arabs.
Interesting you say that if Sinai is included as part of Israel, then '56 was perfectly legal. In that case, let's include Sinai. In war, winner takes all.

@T5Zplayer as I said, if you are incapable of answering my very basic questions of you, STFU, you dope.
Georgia - Abkazia and South Ossetia liberated from repressive Russophobic legislation, both areas now at peace and delighted to be free of Tbilisi.
Chechnya - jihadists who tried to install an Islamic autocracy and, again, deny basic rights to ethnic Russians, defeated.
Murdering civilians in Syria? more or less than USA have murdered in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Serbia, Vietnam, Panama, etc etc?
and what is your country exactly? let's get to the truth here.

@johnnyjohnson2268 it's about 4.5 kms on a footpath, there is no road. the hike is described as tough, but it's not if you are just going one way down to the cove.
it's because there is no road access, no cameras, no buildings, that smuggling of all types happens there.
some reports of a Belgian registered boat, the Maruba?, was off the coast there, lingering, going nowhere.
maybe Jay refused to courier drugs for the Luton lads and walked out, or maybe agreed, got the backpack on and found the trail down. where his phone pinged is further along the road than the trail, but he may have got there and double backed realizing he's gone too far.
dunno. just seems bizarre coincidence that the Luton lads chose a remote location like Masca, spent most of their time indoors, drove down to the festival in the evenings and, i believe, have stayed in that same villa before.
it all fits together somehow!

@syryder3236 I don't recall Lucy saying she had a missed call from Jay. are you sure about that?
anyway, help me with the timeline.
Lucy says she drove over there and went looking for Jay, but she also set up the GoFundMe and reported Jay missing to the Police, so, she was busy!
IF Lucy went straight over to the Masca area, and IF Jay was still on or just off that road, she would have seen him and found him.
However, if the gangsters got the airbnb location from Lucy, or by any other means, then they would have seen and found Jay on the road or just off the road.
Chances are someone found Jay and I refuse to believe that Jay just ended up stumbling through wilderness and dying in such a well concealed spot that no one, no dog, no drone, no helicopter can find him.

@billneave5537 ok, let me address this with the way the French do it (I live in France at the foot of the Pyrenees).
when someone goes missing, they are almost always found within hours, maybe a few days if the weather is bad.
the bulk of the work is investigative, digging deep with background checks, talking to family, friends, knocking on doors. basic sleuthing.
the actual search will reflect the results of the investigation to find out where a person might be AND WHY!
In the Tenerife case, there is a manhunt based SOLELY on the area he was last known to be in! Nothing else. All the other factors that could explain where he was intending to go, why, who else was involved, totally ignored!
The only reason they keep looking into the wilderness is because they didn't find him on the road or close to the road! There is no evidence Jay went into the wilderness!
For 2 weeks the focus should have been what other factors could have led Jay to being taken somewhere else. But no, the whole exercise was to keep searching caves, ravines and places Jay never went to. Truly pathetic reasoning.

@jasonodlin8305 "stalemate" is a Russian win because when you go through the 5 objectives of Russia's invasion, you see Russia is close to attaining all 5. You tell me which of the 5 objectives are beyond Russia's grasp now.
On the other hand, how close is Ukraine to liberating Crimea? liberating Lugansk? liberating Donetsk?
how close is the West to smashing the Russian economy to the point that Russia cannot wage war? (4% economic growth forecast by the IMF for Russia in 2024, recession for Germany and probably UK).
how isolated is Russia? ask any of its allies, China, India, OPEC, BRICS, Latin America, Africa, + all other sanctioned nations (Iran, N Korea, Venezuela)?
Only the blind and deluded fail to see how much of a massive win for Russia this is, and what an epic fail for the woke, stumbling pathetic West.

@jasonodlin8305 you got it right the first time, but got it wrong the second time.
you are right, a military budget is spent on national defence.
Ukraine is not part of the UK nation, nor the French nation, nor the German nation etc. Therefore, not one single penny of any national defence budget was ever ear-marked for Ukraine.
What you got wrong was assuming that a nation's defence budget would be put to good use if applied to Ukraine, which you claim is defending the West (though it isn't at all). The West's defence budgets would ONLY be put to good use IF the West were truly threatened by Russia, which they are not, AND if Ukraine was actually in a position to win, which it is not.
Therefore, all this massive amount of taxpayer funded national defence spending is being thrown away to a corrupt Kiev regime, on a futile war that Ukraine has already lost, and on defending the West that is not even threatened by Russia in any way.

The idiots, Bleksley, are those who think waves of mass immigration are a really good idea.
The idiots, Bleksley, are those, like you, who don't understand that eggs have to be broken to make an omelet
The idiots, Bleksley, are those who refuse to address the concerns of the protesters.
All power to the rioters, wear down the police with repeated mass protests, choke the courts, challenge the government every day.

@alocalstalker3231 of course, all dictionaries offer both definitions of nationality.
however, YOU are the one that said I was confused between ethnicity and nationality, and that nationality was EXCLUSIVELY concerned with the right to live in a certain country.
YOU are the one that cherry picked and refused to accept that "nationality" could be linked to origins, language, traditions, ethnicity etc.
now, go back to my original statement, read it, and see if, ACCORDING TO ONE OF THE DEFINITIONS OF NATIONALITY OFFERED BY THE CAMBRIDGE DICTIONARY, what I said is true.
you see, some of us actually know what we are talking about when we make statements.
we don't assume we know every single definition of every single word.
you have learned a lesson today:)
check your dictionary first before you start correcting others on a particular valid definition they have chosen to apply.

@alocalstalker3231 Again, I never said you did claim to be 100% Danish!
Again, your reading comprehension skills in English are very weak.
Quote me the words I used that said you claim to be 100% Danish!
You cannot be 100% Danish as per the dictionary's second definition (the definition you choose to ignore because it is so inconvenient to your argument) because of the origins of your parents.
We both agreed that "nationality", when used strictly to mean the document that entitles you to reside permanently and have the rights of citizen of a certain country, is what makes you Danish on paper, but my whole point is that for most of the planet, nationality is also something much much deeper than a document, and is linked to ethnicity, origins, background, traditions.
By the second definition, you are from being Danish, just as I am far from being Bahamian, though I have the passport of that country.
Next time "nationality" is mentioned, consider BOTH definitions before you start telling the other person how wrong they are!

@AA-vi1cc here are some simple questions for you.
what makes Judith Curry "a joke"? please specify with reference to her work.
Ditto Patrick Moore, Richard Lindzen, William Happer, Steven Koonin, Ian Plimer.
Now, to John Christy.
Of course Christy assesses temperatures at 25,000 feet. If you want to assess the greenhouse effect, you have to assess the bloody roof of the greenhouse, not just the surface, you dope!
"he cherry picks data"
Every single researcher cherry picks data. That's how you build a case and an argument! There is not one single scientist that includes EVERY datum in any theory!
"not peer reviewed"
Given that almost all the peers are all locked into the same alarmist narrative, because they are paid to spout such narrative, what's the point of peer review?
If Christy is such a joke, why would any scientist bother writing a paper to refute Christy's joke ideas? Why would such a joke be invited to testify in front of Congress?
Seems like your idea of a "joke" is simply someone opposing your assumptions!
Tell me, when you pump CO2 into a greenhouse, does the temperature shoot up? yes or no question
Finally, list 3 positives about global warming.
Now we'll see what you're made of.
