  1. CPS needs to be taken to court for racial discrimination
    2500
  2. "I'm a taxi driver and I'm scared to leave my house" Now you know what it's like to be a white girl in Rotherham.

  3. and there the world was calling Meloni a "fascist" when she became leader of Italy, for her "hard-line stance" on immigration. what an absolute joke she has turned out to be.
    444
  4. the fact that Starmer is 100% sure that David Lammy is the best person as Foreign Secretary tells you all you need to know about Starmer's judgement.
    342
  5. Leicester IS Pakistan/India. Leicester ceased being part of England a long time ago.

  6. UK needs to decide which of the 2 contradictory laws it is going to follow. either honour the law that says asylum seekers are allowed to enter a country by any means and thence claim asylum (in which case, the people smugglers are working legally and should be applauded for doing a good job) OR honour the law that says entry to the UK without the right documentation is illegal.

  7. "they are trying to find Russia's weak spots" reminds me of looking for WMDs in Iraq. How long will it take before the West concludes there is no weak spot?
    170
  8. what about the Labour MP who shared the disinformation tweet from Hope Not Hate about acid attacks against Muslims in Middlesboro? When is he due up in court?
    159
  9. slowly, the penny is dropping with the media that Jay's disappearance is no big deal in Tenerife, but an investigation that reveals lurid details of teenage drug gangs, thefts and violence must be avoided at all costs.
    155
  10. Watch Tommy's film, "Silenced", while you still can. It highlights why no faith, whatsoever, should be placed in UK's judicial system regarding immigration matters.
    144
  11. after 13 years of Tory rule, any malaise we currently have is their fault. end of story. too late to talk a big game. the whistle has already blown.
    113
  12. He was given a 24 hour head start when initially described as a "Newcastle man". the Archbishop of Canterbury probably knows where this good Christian man is hiding.
    108
  13. How close are the Police to catching Azedi's accomplice, the priest that advocated for Azedi's asylum in the country?
    104
  14. "we've failed to integrate them properly" 1. you assume the immigrants want, or are willing, to be integrated. I don't see such willingness. 2. it is not the host country's duty to integrate anyone, it is the newcomer's duty to become integrated.
    101
  15. The problem is, if Raynor is happy to lie about this tax issue, what else is she happy to lie about?
    99
  16. "the migrant population on Lampedusa now outnumbers the native population" so, just like London and Birmingham
    98
  17. so, the rules for protests now is that if threatening tweets get posted, the protest must be cancelled for safety reasons. the side that threatens the most gets their way. justice and policing in the UK, 2023.
    94
  18. the unavoidable results of hiring incompetent but diverse employees
    89
  19. UK needs to sort out which law it is going to follow. If it is legal to enter the UK by any means and then claim asylum, then the "smugglers" are doing nothing wrong. They should be applauded. If it is illegal to enter the UK without proper documentation, then they are all breaking the law, smugglers included, so deport them all. time to choose which rule to follow. either they all are allowed in, or none is.
    86
  20. Gazans voted for Hamas, so Gazans have now got what they voted for. What are they complaining about?
    80
  21. the steel works closed down, so we, quite logically, decided to eat ourselves to death.
    78
  22. Only one eye-witness said she saw Jay at the airbnb and outside the airbnb. Ofelia. Ofelia's brother is a mayor dismissed from his office for corruption. He is also the owner of the airbnb.
    69
  23. No one coming from France could possibly be a refugee or an asylum seeker. they already have a safe refuge and no persecution at all in France.
    60
  24. it is NOT the government's job to support young people. that would be up to families and friends. bloody nanny state.
    57
  25. the way this "expert" stutters and ums and ahs tells you all you need to know. there was no reason to arrest Tommy.
    57
  26. It's just Britain, or Britanistan, nothing "great" about it.
    56
  27. Ayub Qassim. and Jonny Vegas. They work hand in hand with the airbnb owner, Roman Antonio Martin Canaves and his sister, Ofelia. They all know each other. Jay got in money trouble and got the Tenerife treatment.
    54
  28. All power to the French! I would also celebrate wildly if someone gave me money to do nothing much at all. And the great news for the French is....the next British government will continue the same generously insane policy!
    51
  29. honey, it's easier than you think. just pass a law that stipulates all asylum claims must be made outside the UK.
    49
  30. Viktor Orban for PM.
    49
  31. not the brightest is he? "indisputable" that Jay was there at 7.30, because we have a photo of a hand that could be Jay's and some shoes that could be Jay's. No actual photo of Jay, but it is indisputable! Sir, I dispute that that photo is a photo of Jay. No face of Jay means might not be Jay.
    42
  32. irrelevant what "experts" think about the interpretation of the call for "jihad". Judge and jury will sort all that out. Police just need to arrest "on suspicion of" inciting violence, and given the context, you can be bloody sure "jihad" didn't mean a mental struggle against what's happening in Gaza.
    42
  33. "almost impenetrable" = penetrable
    41
  34. "we're trying not to speculate"......and that, right there, is the problem in a nutshell. let's not speculate on the fact that Ayub Abdul has a drug conviction, let's not speculate on the fact that the airbnb is just 4 kms away from Masca Cove. let's not speculate on the fact that the Masca coast is where drug smuggling and people smuggling occurs routinely, let's not speculate on any of that, because God knows, we might come up with a hypothesis that makes sense.
    38
  35. streets can be cleaned and buildings rebuilt quite quickly. trust in the police and good faith of political leaders will take a lot longer to re-establish. Starmer has forgotten that the majority in the UK are still white, working class. If they choose to overthrow him, they can, and they will.
    38
  36. "no matter his past" the usual insensitive virtue signalling from someone that was not a victim of this thug and reprobate. get a heart and start feeling for the victims, not the thugs.
    37
  37. no, Simon, I am not aware of anyone who said "I want to be treated as a third country national". None. I am aware of many people who can't understand why British citizens were trusted to the point of being allowed freedom of movement in the EU a few years ago, but the same British citizens now must be treated the same as someone just arrived from Bolivia. Makes no sense. Portugal has the right approach.
    34
  38. David Amiss was somewhat affected by a migrant. The problem is the other MP's don't care because it wasn't them that got knifed.
    33
  39. the very notion of a "protected group" means the principle of "equality before the law" has been abandoned.
    32
  40. you don't need a whole new Immigration Office to pass legislation that ends immigration.
    32
  41. the lawyer is confused. he advocates prosecuting the people "traffickers". But if claiming asylum once on UK soil is legal, then the "traffickers" are breaking no law either. They are merely providing transport for those who want to claim asylum in the UK.
    31
  42. yet more cultural enrichment thanks to Tony Blair
    31
  43. Sunak and co did little to prevent any of this. Starmer has just increased the rate. We need someone who can reverse the trend. Maybe Putin.
    31
  44. all those going to Africa to see these games must be prepared for a very unsafe stay in the 3rd world.
    31
  45. It is not up to the government to "solve" this crisis, but it is up to the government to move all its rules and regulations out of the way and let the free market resolve the issues of supply and demand.
    31
  46. not unpleasant to watch at all! all power to shop owners and their staff who must protect their goods and livelihoods, given the Police are too busy monitoring online offensive comments.
    30
  47. Habib is 100% right. NO trade agreement is needed to sell goods abroad. If Person A, who is abroad, wants to buy Person B's British product, all that is needed for the business to happen is for governments to move out of the damn way. Trade agreements are needed ONLY to manipulate a free market.
    29
  48. Starmer's deal is that UK will take 100,000 immigrants. That's on top of the ones that come in illegally.
    28
  49. only problem is, Chris, we have a black swan. Belarus. Belarus took no action and, well, would you look at that, Belarus survived Covid in a better state than the UK did! Try using empirical evidence, if you want to be a real scientist.
    28
  50. Makes perfect sense. Given the BBC wanted Nazi Germany to triumph in WW2, that would mean what the Dambusters did was indeed infamous. The BBC also see the attack on Pearl Harbor as an uplifting moment of peace and consideration.
    28
  51. the best way to break the people smugglers' business model is to reduce the demand for their services to zero. tow all the boats back to France, strip the illegal immigrants of their cash to pay for the service, no more people smugglers.
    27
  52. "he missed the bus" no, he didn't. he was 2 hours early for the first bus of the day. get the facts straight.
    25
  53. Jay's pals and family are in a tough position. 2 choices, 1. keep looking fruitlessly in a wilderness that Jay never entered, but keep the grift going, topping up the GoFundMe ad infinitum 2. solving the mystery, pushing for all crimes to be investigated, but then discovering the lurid details of Jay's criminal life, but finding Jay
    24
  54.  @jackkeane6  but not so spangled to rush out of the airbnb with his possessions at the first opportunity, not so spangled to fail to ask about the next bus departure time, not so spangled to chat jokingly with Brad and check his location. not particularly spangled at all, apparently!
    24
  55. If only Putin could be UK PM. This nonsense would end next week.
    23
  56. Great to see Gideon given the treatment he advocated for Tommy Robinson. Tommy was arrested for being Tommy. Time for Gideon to be arrested for being Jewish.
    21
  57. when the priest names the number of illegal immigrants he will personally house and feed ad infinitum, i might listen to him.
    21
  58. yep, Russia has so many freedoms these days that have been removed in the West. and, no, you fool, Putin doesn't envy the West for the parlous state into which the West has descended. Putin is proud that Russia is still a traditional-minded society that actually knows what a man and a woman are.
    20
  59. Starmer forgot one really important fact. White working class Brits are still the majority in the UK, and if they decide to stage a revolution and overthrow the government, they can and will do that.
    20
  60. assimilation and integration aren't needed. look at the Amish and Mennonites. illegal immigration would be stopped immediately by announcing all asylum claims must be made outside the UK legal migration can be reduced by charging some massive application fees. it's really not that difficult.
    19
  61.  @briggs982  Only a fool would assume that Jay went there just for the rave. entertain the notion Jay might have gone to mix business with pleasure. you can get in money trouble in seconds, let alone a few days. try losing your wallet, or a bag of cocaine.
    18
  62. "you should have been GIVEN accommodation suitable for you and your family" that is the problem in a nutshell. the sense of entitlement, that the taxpayer needs to cough up more and more cash to house people who thought it was a really good idea to have 5 kids.
    18
  63. France has every incentive to get more and more cash from the UK, AND to keep allowing as many illegal immigrants to get into the UK. France should not be a part of this debate, except to find out how they will react when all the boats are towed back to France.
    17
  64. there is no naivety involved. both church and judiciary will do whatever is needed to keep all asylum claimants in the country.
    16
  65. yet more evidence that standards across the board have fallen to absurd lows in the UK.
    15
  66. even towing the boats back to France won't stop this. the illegal migrants will just keep trying. the illegal migrants need to be stripped of all their valuables, to pay for the Border Force service, then dumped back in France, (the country that admitted them and which is therefore responsible for them). then the boats will stop.
    15
  67. without Russia, no one can say they are the best in the world if they win in Paris. the Wokolympics will be a damp squib.
    15
  68. given that "Islam" means "submit", it is logical that Khan, as a Muslim, has indeed surrendered to those Muslim authorities above him. why would anyone doubt that?
    15
  69. Britain allows migrants to enter the country and then claim asylum, so it is not illegal. None of the migrants are arrested for breaking UK law. I which case, the "people smugglers" are not smugglers at all. They should be applauded for facilitating a perfectly legal route into the UK. People smugglers can only be acting illegally if the asylum seekers are declared illegal immigrants.
    15
  70. curious that Brad and Lucy already assume the body found is Jay's. no need to wait for confirmation, in their minds.
    15
  71. imagine getting nastier and nastier when the authorities and media refuse to answer basic questions, to release key information and to do any investigations at all? hard to understand how any of that could lead to any frustrations at all!
    15
  72. I remember seeing a tv ad in El Salvador that stressed getting out into the fresh air, into sunlight, and exercising regularly to combat Covid. My question for BJ would be why was he 100% sure El Salvador's approach was wrong, and at what point did he realize Britain's Covid problem was linked to Britain's obesity problem. Or did he ever?
    14
  73.  @maximus7727  Rwandan. Big mistake to have allowed his parents into the country. next question?
    14
  74. "now starting to look at his checkered past" Keystone Academy graduates. should have started on Day One looking into the checkered past.
    14
  75. now entering Day 18, still no one knows the identity of 50% of the airbnb occupants. why did Jay go back with them and what happened at the airbnb before Jay left? knowing that, and all that was said between them, would lead us to where Jay is.
    13
  76. and when can we expect the African suspect of the Southport murders to appear in court? tomorrow? in a week? next year?
    13
  77.  @craignoble9762  anyone who owes tax should be made to pay. but it's about the lying and cover-up that follows the accusation. Has Lord Ashcroft denied, denied, denied ad infinitum contrary to all the evidence? And if he has, how does that make Raynor innocent?
    12
  78. I wonder when the last time was that Stanley Johnson read the conclusions of eminent scientists like Ian Plimer, Patrick Moore, Judith Curry, John Christie, Richard Linzen, William Happer and many others who says he's wrong.
    12
  79. all of you who applauded lockdowns, you got what you richly deserve, an NHS unable to cope. enjoy every minute of it.
    12
  80. a lot more to this than meets the eye. one month on, after intensive searching, suddenly the body is found close to where they concentrated the search in the first place! not buying it. did the Guardia Civil finally get Debbie to agree to split the GoFundMe 50/50?
    11
  81.  @run2cat4run  In Russia you can shout out at your workplace "A man can never become a woman". Try doing that at your British workplace and see how far freedom of speech gets you.
    11
  82. Given the migrants seem to be quite wealthy, how about an on-the-spot fine for attempting to enter the country without correct documentation, all valuables and cash to be confiscated and thence returned to France, where they were all admitted quite legally.
    11
  83.  @bigpants6121  no one is disputing that young people, like everyone else, have health issues. I am questioning why the nation's taxpayers are forced to foot the bill for their treatments. Families and friends should take such responsibility. Are you a Morning Star or Pravda reader?
    10
  84. correct. limited number of reasons why an individual would leave anywhere with 2 total strangers.
    10
  85. Sadly, the Qataris and Saudis would send them all the funding they need and the Britanistan Caliphate would be established. UK tax payers would at least be happy in a different unIslamic place.
    10
  86. curious these two totally ignore MWT's assertion that Jay left the airbnb and couldn't return there because he feared for his safety. it's omissions like this that fuels the speculation they say they despise.
    10
  87. Had the police done their job, and released the relevant information, no one would have had to speculate! ONLY because tweets were circulating about the status of the suspect did the police eventually come out with "He's Welsh, born in Cardiff". And curious they chose those words, not "He's the son of African immigrants"."
    10
  88. Had these two hand-wringing dopes stood shoulder to shoulder with Tommy Robinson a decade ago, this situation would never have arisen.
    10
  89. integration into society is working well. Brits are slowly but surely integrating into Muslim society.
    10
  90. "Asian clientele"? what, yet more disturbances caused by people from Laos and Cambodia?
    10
  91. the day landlords are allowed to rent out their properties as they wish, rather than as dictated by government regulations, this problem disappears. the free market is king.
    10
  92. we all know had the attacker been Paddy, a white indigenous Irish farmer from Sligo, all details would have been announced within minutes. remember the formula.....the longer it takes the Police to report the name and background and ethnicity of an attacker, the more certain you can be it is an immigrant, probably Muslim, with a criminal history.

  93. @@fredgarvin6097 a Parliamentary vote could be tabled today if anyone in Westminster really cared about immigration.
    9
  94. They are arriving legally. That is why none is arrested on arrival at Dover UNLESS asylum is NOT claimed. No matter how the migrant arrives, once asylum is claimed on UK soil, the migrant is legally in the UK. The only question that needs answering is why the UK government insists asylum can only be claimed in the UK, when the opposite (only claiming UK asylum from outside the UK) would reduce the migrant boats to a trickle.

  96.  @kevinmcfarlane2752  I saw it on YT last night, but it has already been removed today. "Silenced" obviously the most aptly named film for a long time.
    9
  97. "a 10 hour walk to try to get home" zero evidence that Jay was aiming to return to Los Cristianos.
    8
  98. look at the map. if they cross the border into the part of Ukraine that is controlled by Ukraine, they do not end up behind Russian lines
    8
  99.  @traceymitchell6619  i agree that Orfelia is not an independent witness, but i think it likely that Jay left the airbnb, that she saw him and there was some verbal interaction between them that neither of them understood, and yes, she probably saw Jay 15 minutes later on the road. and Jay's phone pinged the tower. all that means is that jay had walked 15 minutes up the road, and a bit later he, apparently, spoke briefly to Lucy. beyond that, we know nothing, except Jay disappeared. i don't get the logic that says Jay must have wandered off the road, slipped and died. given the drugs and gangs lurking in the background of all this, makes much more sense Jay was taken somewhere else or he walked on to the safe house the 2 strangers had set up for him, if they were on his side. the 2 strangers are key. are they helping or hindering Jay in all this?
    8
  100. no evidence the pinging phone means Jay went wandering off into the wilderness. focus on the crimes, and the criminals, and their motives, not a pinging phone.

  101. implementing Brexit needed Westminster leaders with a backbone. therein lies the problem.

  102.  @ashleywilson2072  so if you believe the government should allow second homes to be occupied by the homeless, what other property should be confiscated by the government? any family that has 2 cars? any family that has a spare room in their home? where do the rights to have private property end in your Marxist world view?
    8
  103. because it is an easy country to convert to the Sharia and Islamic state they so desire.

  104.  @lesgamester7356  yep, and Henry Seventh succeeded Henry Eighth, all makes sense in Lammy World.
    8
  105. totally deluded about how things are going in Ukraine. also, totally deluded about how damaging government hypocrisy on covid was to the morale of the country
    8
  106. Guardia Civil really screwed up. The answers lie with the 2 strangers who were interviewed, and then, unbelievably, released. 12 days searching with drones, helicopters, dogs in an area where Jay never went is just lunacy.
    8
  107. "illegal seizure of Crimea by Putin". Hitchens, after the coup in Kiev that you so criticize, the Crimean Parliament in Simferopol voted 78-0 to separate from Kiev! A subsequent referendum confirmed that parliamentary decision! That is DEMOCRACY, nothing "illegal" or "seizing" about it, you fool.
    7
  108. @peterholden3672 yes, do you remember Starmer's famous speech about ensuring the Pakistani rape gangs will face 24 hour courts and immediate convictions and imprisonment? No, neither do I.
    7
  109. What is simply stunning, in Britainistan 2024, is to learn such a welcome addition to the nation's diversity was refused TWICE for asylum! Two clerical errors in a row is a rarity in such cases.
    7
  110. the very fact that they keep talking about Rwanda and barges shows they have no will to stop the boats coming. pointing fingers at "criminal gangs" is a way of saying that the bad guys are those who help migrants come to the place that welcomes them with open arms.
    7
  111. yeah yeah yeah, throw more money at the problem and things will get better, but they won't we all, know it. just take a look at the homicide rates in Jamaica, Bahamas, Trinidad and it explains everything.
    7
  112. "what on earth are you thinking? what on earth are you doing that for? after 30 years of being on the receiving end of Muslim and immigrant violence, the native Brits are enjoying their turn, having their say. what's so difficult to understand?
    7
  113.  @sarapu-lw6nr  not at all. unlike you, all my sensitivities go out to the innocent victims of Jay Slater. unlike me, you are wringing your hands for a thug and a thief, and not one word of mention for those that suffered at the hands of Jay. you are truly heartless.

  116.  @EllanaWolf  well, clearly, I do know better than the "professionals"! I called for a forensic search of the airbnb on Day One. The "professionals" decided it was a brilliant idea to do a forensic search on Day 16. which of us was correct? you tell me!
    6
  117. Chris Parry's ignorance about Russia exemplifies how NATO has become such a pathetic force. Totally wrong, yet again. Shoigu is on record as having told Putin he wanted to retire and go fishing, and Putin convinced Shoigu to stay on for the SMO and until the election. The election is over, Putin won, time for Shoigu to retire. No conspiracy theories needed, thanks, Parry.
    6
  118. If Putin would end mass immigration, abandon green policies and reduce energy prices, I would welcome his march across Europe and seizing control of the woke West.
    6
  119.  @georgechickful  you make my point for me. in the UK, voicing your opinion on so many subjects gets you a right dressing down from management. in many other places, diverse opinions are welcomed. In Russia there are so many things you can say and no one bothers you. these days you film yourself playing piano in a train station in London and you get a dressing down from the Police because Chinese people are upset. Russia has so many freedoms that have been stolen in the UK.

  121.  @dorianissock732  First and foremost, it's in a country's interest to forbid immigration to anyone who brings no discernible benefit to the host country.
    6
  122. Just reverse the current law that insists asylum can only be claimed from within the UK. Make it law that asylum can only be claimed from outside the UK.
    6
  123. Ben keeps missing the point that it is legal to enter the UK and claim asylum. That's why none of them are ever arrested. The law needs to be changed so that all asylum claims need to be made OUTSIDE of the UK. THEN anyone entering with no documentation would be illegal and could be returned.
    6
  124.  @Mylostsock11  exactly....moral of the story, make as many threats as you can and the UK police will tell those who oppose you to go home and shut up.
    6
  125. you know you've lost when it is accepted we can't stop illegal immigration, so now we have to focus on flying a few of them to Rwanda

  126. Starmer is still trying to figure out what a woman is, please don't confuse the poor child with complex questions of ceasefire, or no ceasefire.
    6
  127.  @NM-qt3oi  not at all. if government just deregulated the whole of the housing market and set stiff penalties for property damage, landlords would be prepared to offer basic accommodation at affordable rates to those who work.
    6
  128. if "long-term sick" includes the obese, then that number is remarkably low.
    6
  129. The French have played this game perfectly. They get paid to appear to do something about a problem that is not theirs, in fact it is in their interest to get the migrants out of their jurisdiction, and they get to blame the UK for being such a powerful magnet for migrants. the problem lies with Westminster, 100%, not the French. The laws need to be changed and the boats forced back to French waters, and if the French object then the French need to be told that it was France that admitted these migrants into France, and therefore it is France that is responsible for them. Take the UK to court if you want to.
    5
  130. @Nobody-s2j9q that's good. just be aware that millions of people in the UK would prefer you to go home and not be in the UK, and that millions feel they want their country back, with no immigrants at all. I'm sure you understand such sentiments.
    5
  131.  @Maugirl2  good point, never doubt the eco warriors penchant for sabotage
    5
  132. simple.....deregulate the rental business, and let the free market sort it out. if you approve of the rental contract you are offered and the property is acceptable and you can afford it, sign and move in. if any of the 3 factors above doesn't apply, keep looking. mass immigration will always push prices up, so all of you who say "migrants welcome", welcome to high rental charges
    5
  133. "the Police said the Rayner case was not worth looking into" so, just like burglary and car theft then.
    5
  134. sniffer dogs can't find a corpse in the sea.
    5
  135. just reverse the law and insist all asylum claims must be made before arrival in the UK.
    5
  136. it's a simple fix. Pass a law that states all claims for asylum must be made before entering the UK. That would then mean anyone trying to enter the UK with no asylum granted could, legally, be turned back immediately.
    5
  137. it is how totalitarianism works. fear that the other side might say something that makes sense = panic and urge to shut up the speaker that might make sense.

  138. "hard to see what else this could be" only if you are a biased BBC reporter, that is.
    5
  139. There is no such thing as a "people smuggler" given that it is perfectly legal to arrive in the UK and then claim asylum (which is why no one is arrested in Dover, they are all legally in the UK once the words "I claim asylum" are uttered). So, the "people smugglers" are just travel agents, providing the transport needed to carry out a legal journey. Talk about focusing on the wrong component of the problem!

  146. only 2 changes have to be made. 1. reverse the asylum seeking process, so that all asylum claims must be made outside the country. then it will be illegal to enter UK waters without proper documentation (at the moment it isn't, hence no one gets arrested). 2. instruct the RN to return all small boats to France, where the French have already accepted these migrants as being in France legally.

  163.  @solvableknave9141  no one is arguing with the facts of the situation. many of us are just pointing out that the situation, as it now stands, does not benefit the EU cartel because it restricts the entry of Brits and therefore reduces EU tourist revenues. But maybe reducing the income of many EU citizens dependent on tourist revenue is outweighed by the pleasure of punishing the UK for voting to be independent?

  164.  @kristianvelle5637  no one voted to be a third country. "third country" is an EU designation thought up in Brussels.

Portugal has opted to not apply strict third country status. good decision.

Couple that with the fact that the 2 Luton lads were not questioned or interviewed in the UK, and it would be fair to assume they are undercover cops. so, why would cops take Jay back to their place? to let him spill the beans on the drug gang he works for and works with, and to allow him a safe house while the Moroccan gangsters search for Jay. Jay blew it somewhat by choosing to walk out of the house 2 hours too early for the bus and then deciding to walk. The Moroccans caught up with him, bundled him into a car, and now are awaiting payment.

Refugees do not have to claim asylum in the first safe country (that's why none of them are arrested in France either!) and they can claim asylum having entered a country by any means!

  242.  @mbeale100  right, but what I am saying is that given you have come from a place where there is no persecution of you, i.e. you have no need to change country to find asylum, and given you have no valid travel document, then you should be returned. it's very simple. France admitted the person, and therefore France is responsible for the individual. If the individual was admitted into Schengen as an asylum seeker, then let him seek asylum where he was admitted.

  243. it's quite simple. the Police have decided their role is to keep the peace, even if that means bending to the will of the mob. when the Police return to their duty of enforcing the law, OR admitting they are powerless to enforce the law, the sooner we can address the issue.

  264.  @dorianissock732  you don't need any workforce to integrate new arrivals into the society of the host country. If the new arrival is willing to integrate, it will happen. But why would you assume a Muslim would want to integrate into British society over just replicating the society of the home country in Britain?

  265. The Far Right doesn't exist. The only people who keep throwing out the words "Far Right" are those who have to dream up a bogeyman explanation for the failure of their own policies of mass immigration.

  266. there is no rip off when some dullard agrees to pay loads of money for a useless degree. it's just stupidity. all power to the universities for taking easy cash from some really dumb people.

  268.  @i_kissed_a_pixie1537  looks like you are the one not seeking real understanding. in my part of the world, the professionals who are charged with finding a body have a procedure that works, and in fair conditions, it takes a matter of hours, not 29 days!

  269.  @sbaumgartner9848  "suspender" in Spanish means "call off, end". they lied and announced they were ending the search. how many other lies did they tell?
    2
  270.  @johnstuart7244  then just say "outdoors". to me, "open terrain" means space unencumbered by buildings or vegetation.

  271.  @celtictarotreadings333  phD in common sense
    2
  272.  @i_kissed_a_pixie1537  it's curious you keep returning to this nonsense of the treacherous terrain and terrible conditions! Compared to the Alps or the Pyrenees, Tenerife is a walk in the park! Hours of daylight, perfect weather....try tree covered Pyrenees in winter!
    2
  273.  @i_kissed_a_pixie1537  on the contrary, we attempt to explain phenomena that make no sense, instead of blindly accepting the official narrative. let me guess, you and Tracey still believe getting the jab will prevent you getting covid?
    2
  274.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  as I said, your argument is with the OP, the original poster. it was johnstewart and you arguing about POLSA or PoLSA, not me! I already accepted Chris's challenge, but suggested it go live, online, livestream, so the world can see him flounder when confronted with basic questions he can't answer. I have no problem with the Guardia Civil in Tenerife! They are corrupt and look after their own interests. what's wrong with that? my problem is with fools who refuse to even consider them to be corrupt!
    2
  275.  @celtictarotreadings333  when you lie you do so much more than confuse the public. you lose their trust.
    2
  276. the Spanish police announced the end of the search for Jay's body. so, now you are lying!
    2
  277. Given the limited resources the Guardia Civil of Tenerife had, according to Blundering Bleksley, why did no outside force volunteer to help the Guardia Civil with the search?
    2
  278. just so funny he blabs on about geo-political "experts", yep, the same experts that have misread Putin so horrendously so far, and got the West in an expensive mess which Putin is winning.
    2
  279. The "traffickers" should be praised. They are providing transport to get to the UK and it is all legal. Asylum can ONLY be claimed within the UK, and no one gets arrested at Dover because once the words "I claim asylum" are uttered, the migrant is legally present. The "traffickers" are just providing a legal service and they do a good job. If asylum to the UK could ONLY be made outside the UK, THEN the traffickers would be breaking the law.
    2
  280. Curious to see that Russia is now to blame for everything, instead of Brexit. Maybe the fact that NGOs ferry across all the migrants and Italy does nothing to stop them is a factor to consider?
    2
  281. Chris Twitty, one of that new breed of scientists who refuse to look at empirical evidence. Belarus had no lockdowns and, well, Chris, all those extra covid deaths you say would have happened, they never happened. Belarus had a low covid death rate. Please explain that, Chris.

  282.  @MA-xw7ux  being welcome or not is irrelevant. the law permits such visits, live with it.

  283. Islam rules the UK. The fear of mass Muslim riots has meant kid gloves treatment for Muslims. It's that simple.
    2
  284. Reversal of asylum application policy has been needed for a long time. Only those applying for asylum from OUTSIDE the UK should be considered valid asylum seekers. By dictating that it is only INSIDE the UK that asylum can be applied for we are inviting all these boatloads in.
    2
  285.  @robertgannon-cx2mm  There is a mechanism already in place. It's called the British embassy. The only difference is that the application would be initiated outside the country, and then processed as it is now, within the UK. People come over in boats because it is legal to so so. Make it illegal to do so, and the boats can be returned. No asylum granted and no paperwork to prove it, no entry to the country, as at airports when arriving passengers are returned immediately if they don't have the correct visa/documentation. People wouldn't risk their lives if they knew asylum had to be granted before entry. C'mon man!
    2
  286. the terrain in the Alps and Pyrenees is same, but worse, yet missing people are found within hours. the search conditions were perfect in Tenerife, every day, perfect weather and lots of daylight.
    2
  287.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  right, but in the Pyrenees there is no corrupt Guardia Civil or Mossos d'Esquadra supervising everything, like there is in Tenerife. Also, in the Pyrenees, help is given by the CRS, because unlike the Guardia Civil in Tenerife, getting international help is appreciated in the Pyrenees.
    2
  288.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  I am sure you know how to use a search engine to pull up all the stories of corruption in the police in Tenerife

  289. why does the debate have to happen after the riots are quelled? what prevents that debate happening today? Jenrick is a la Sunak, snake in the grass.
    2
  290. What a fool Perry was to think that if just one person disagrees with a theory, then the one person must be wrong and not the theory.
    2
  291.  @robertgannon-cx2mm  Not at all. Your reading comprehension skills are not so great! It is my understanding that they all arrive with either no documentation or insufficient valid documentation that allows them to enter the UK legally, so they choose to claim asylum at the border so that they can then be allowed in, legally. Agreed?
    2
  292.  @michaelsrowland  so why are none of them arrested?
    2
  293.  @stephenjon3502  it would only have been done years ago if we had a government willing to do so. we don't. i repeat. make asylum claims valid ONLY if made outside the UK. given you have no counter argument looks like you agree.
    2
  294.  @stephenjon3502  and the fact that we never saw plane loads of migrants flown back the first safe country they entered tells you all you need to know about that period to which you prefer. A law that was impossible to implement, or unwilling to be implemented.
    2
  295.  @stephenjon3502  You are ignorant. FoM means you can travel overland from the Mediterranean to the Arctic Circle and there are no immigration checks. That was the whole point of the Schengen Zone! Yes, documentation is checked at airports, but that is only to establish identity, not the right to travel within the Schengen Zone. Any asylum seeker who arrives in Spain or Italy gets to Calais with no immigration check whatsoever, thanks to the wonderful freedoms legislated by your dear friends in Brussels. I live 29 kms from the Spain/France border. There are no immigration checks.
    2
  296.  @david-pb4bi  yep, we both agree that the Rwanda nonsense won't work. the only chance for any idea to work is the will to make it work, which doesn't exist at the top of the UK government, sadly. take care.

  306.  @bestboy1986  we are only concerned with this particular crime, and given the nature of it and the people involved, yes, this one is 100% solvable. but you need to investigate and try to solve it in order to solve it, instead of blundering around a wilderness with dogs for 2 weeks.

  313. Rangers and Celtic fans will be breaking no hate speech laws, because as white males, they are not a protected group, so the law doesn't apply to them. Equality before the law has been abandoned in the UK, so white males can be abused as anyone wishes.

  314. Saying "Julia Hartley Brewer is all about Julia Hartley Brewer" is as vacuous and infantile as trotting out "Tommy Robinson is all about Tommy Robinson" If Julia can't even explain what's wrong with what Tommy has said, and has to rely on "Tommy is only pretending to be anti anti-semitic just so he can shout out against Muslims", then Julia needs to start talking substance and not vague supposition. pathetic, Julia.
    2
  315.  @yasdnilknarf1885  the previous Labour government were just as incompetent, but after 13 years in power, it's a bit late to come up with new ideas how to solve these key issues. Labour started the malaise, the Tories have shown themselves clueless how to tackle it all.
    2
  316.  @brianthirling9260  exactly. 13 years later, to come up with new bright ideas to improve the country is insulting and pathetic.
    2
  317.  @seanmelhuish3898  seems like Julia wants the kind of husband who, rather than grabbing an assailant round the throat, would prefer to let any thug attack Julia and step aside and let anything happen to Julia. Throat grabbing can be very effective. Never assume a throat grabber is the baddee.

  319. misogyny is attacking a woman, or women, solely because you hate the woman, or women. Fox is not a mysogynist. He explained very clearly why he detested, deeply, one individual who belongs to the female sex, not because she belongs to the female sex, but because of the horrible things she said about men in general.
    2
  320.  @JustMe-nj6dp  it needs to be a totally free market. if you don't like the rental property and contract offered, just walk away. if the landlord can't find a tenant, he'll have to offer a better deal. what's wrong with that? if a landlord is getting a better deal by using his/her property as an airbnb, all power to him. it's his/her place. if government deregulated the rental market, more property owners would be interested in renting places out.
    2
  321.  @hhuodod2209  the country gets no good, only harm, when tight regulations mean no one wants to invest in property. what good is it to the country to have tight rental regulations and therefore no places to rent?

  325. it's the "bizarre and colorful" ideas that make a lot more sense than searching a wilderness that Slater probably never even entered!
    2
  326.  @anarebeca2401  exactly so. anything is possible in the gang underworld. we don't know any details. "hold Jay until 7.30 a.m. and then tell him to start walking toward Buenavista, he'll be picked up on the way, about 20 minutes from Masca", and the 2 strangers would complete their assignment and have no idea what the end game would be.
    2
  327.  @tonyleedham5462  if you are one of those so concerned, what is stopping you giving every single penny you have to fund new housing? even basic human rights have to be paid for, so you and your chums need to start handing over all your cash.
    2
  328.  @FoolsDiary  if you were a landlord, why would you risk renting out your property to a dodgy low income person rather than a tourist? you wouldn't. that's not a dodgy choice. it's common sense. if you want to give every penny you have to help those in need, go ahead, but expecting everyone to volunteer to do the same is absurd. at some point, individual's have to figure out their own way to survive.
    2
  329.  @KeithMoon-yz5gi  i am not convinced that she is disabled and has to live in an old bus. there are some details of this story that are missing. i don't believe the local council told her that there are zero options open to her and that there is no accommodation option except living in the old bus. if i am wrong, and that is the only option given by the council, then the question is why are we sending billions to Ukraine and imposing Green taxes on everyone when the handicapped are forced into a bus or on the street? something tells me the brother gets an allowance for taking care of her, and doesn't want to give up that income. income from taxpayers like you to feed the 5 kids he chose to father!

  338. Come on, Hitchens, don't act the fool. Challenging the legitimacy of a national election is absolutely fine, in fact should be encouraged, when done democratically (as it was) and it is the authoritarians who declare "the votes are counted, we can dismiss all the claims of fraud, quick, declare Biden the winner". That ain't democracy, when just 40,000 votes separated 2 candidates and there was plenty of evidence that certain states, like PA, broke laws when they enabled mail-in voting.

    1
  350.  @MrRoyalbeers  a level of thinking beyond your ability, maybe. not referring to victory or defeat. referring to the fruitless search for something that doesn't exist. Ukraine looking for a Russian weak spot is like searching for WMDs in Iraq. a never ending search, because what is being sought does not exist. capisce?

  351.  @shaunvduke  the comment is aging very nicely, given that there is no weak spot.

  352.  @MrRoyalbeers  on the contrary. every time the Ukronazis throw weaponry and bodies at the Russians, the Ukronazis suffer horrendous losses, hence Time Magazine just published a piece saying a Plan B is needed.
    1
  353.  @MrRoyalbeers  clearly you know nothing about Nazism. Denis Nikitin was expelled from Russia for his Nazi activity. He was welcomed and embraced by Ukraine and with his fellow Nazis led the attack on Belgorod. ONLY in Ukraine is an avowed Nazi battalion, the Azovs, incorporated into the national defence force. Let me guess, you have bever been to Ukraine and met and mingled with the nazi underworld there? Google "Reuters 2018 Ukraine nazi problem" and read the article and tell me what you think

  354.  @scottstephens4732  oh yes, the smuggling gangs are doing nothing wrong at all. The smuggling gangs are just travel agents, setting up the transport to get their willing customers to land legally in Dover where none of them will get arrested and all will be processed as asylum seekers according to the law. the smuggling gangs are entrepreneurs that should be applauded. the criminals are those in Westminster who allow this mass invasion and refuse to change the laws so that all those coming from an EU country should be deemed illegal entrants and not asylum seekers. All those already in France should apply for UK asylum at the British Embassy in Paris.

You may be right that the claim for asylum will be rejected without documents, but making the claim itself requires no documents, hence none of them is arrested in Dover, and all of them are accommodated until the asylum case is decided.

I used to live in one! Try to conceive of a world beyond the rules and regulations you seem so married to! The WTO exists to facilitate trade. Two consenting parties that find a way to trade without WTO interference should get the blessing of such an organization. That they don't tells you all you need to know about the WTO! True free trade would see no queues, no documentation needed, just businesses working with businesses, but the EU is a cartel, and so must institute protectionism that then ensures higher prices for its citizens. EU citizens will never get a good deal while the EU insists on its cartel practices, and the UK will never get a good deal with the EU while it is faced with working with a cartel. UK would be best served by resolutely seeking free trade, and free trade that is free from bureaucratic intervention, from any partner on the planet eager for the same thing.

As I said, there are places that are not part of the WTO! How do you think they survive? Believe it or not, they survive and there is no "legal action".

The EU clearly DOES want the UK to have a third country status, as it is the EU that has decided such! Brussels can change the UK status tomorrow, if it so desired! No one is crying. Just pointing out how the EU cartel prefers to punish Brits over help its own tourist industry, confirmation of the misplaced values of a corrupt and uncaring cartel.
    1
  428.  @dibdab101  as I already explained twice, one good reason to give the UK special status would be to boost the incomes of the EU's ailing tourist sector. but clearly, boosting the EU's tourism income and helping the economy of the EU's citizens is much less preferable to Brussels than the pleasure of punishing Brits. speaks volumes for the attitudes of Brussels. The UK is different from the other 3rd nations because the UK was an EU member. It's like saying the person you are divorced from is no different from a total stranger. it's a nonsensical argument, and false. it's not a question of liking or not liking the rules. I live in France, so doesn't bother me at all. it's a question of what arrangement benefits the people of the EU the most, and what arrangement benefits the people of the UK the most. the current rules, as applied to UK citizens, does nothing to help EU citizens, and in fact, hurts many in the EU tourist sector. But Portugal has seen the light. others will follow.

Most underlying causes you can't solve, but you can make the act of burglary one hell of a punishable crime. what do you mean by this "not hand themselves over"? are you worried that boats full of illegals apprehended mid Channel are going to fight Border Force?

  458.  @andersondasilva1334  this makes sense, yes, the 2 strangers were not total strangers. makes sense a solution to the problem was Jay acts as a mule when going back to the UK. so, the 2 guys, do we know if they were already on Tenerife or if they flew out to set up this deal? Their stay in the airbnb was very short. my initial thought was the GoFundMe was to get the payment needed to get Jay off the island immediately, as the Moroccan drugs mafia were on to him, and Masca is the ideal point to walk down to Masca Beach where much drug smuggling and people smuggling happens. all to be revealed.

  505.  @timoakley277  the rules were always there, but only a fool would assume the same rules would necessarily be in place post Brexit. the debate is not about the rules in place. the debate is which rules would best serve the people of Europe.

  506.  @avakholwadia1420  i never said "most Europeans are punishing the UK". read carefully what I said. maybe your English is not so good. commiserations for living in Belgium. i live in France. no one is talking about the Brits here either. so what? we are debating which EU rule changes would most benefit EU citizens.
    1
  507.  @avakholwadia1420  i commiserate with you for living in Belgium because of all the EU countries, Belgium is one of the most miserable, divided, identity deficient armpits of a country. totally agree with you on the benefits you mentioned of freedom of movement in the EU. freedom of movement also meant gangs of Rumanian and Bulgarian mafia crooks took over many districts of London. Freedom of movement is both good and bad. oh, SUCH a stressful process to get a passport for travel. so sorry you had to endure such pain. yes, brexit has impacted Brits with holiday homes (you are now making my point for me, that it would be an enormous benefit to the EU and the UK for the EU to relax travel restrictions on Brits entering the EU). this debate that you jumped into was about exempting Brits from 3rd nation status when entering the EU. what harm would such an exemption cause to the citizens of the EU?

  510.  @timoakley277  the debate is about what rule changes would benefit EU citizens from more tourism from the UK. no one is blaming anyone for anything! i mean, if you are determined to blame someone for something, why not blame Brussels for making the EU a protectionist cartel that keeps prices high so that its consumers can't enjoy lower prices?

  518.  @antonitaylor2229  my objection was to anyone who thinks they should be GIVEN anything, so my words were directed to whomever used the word "given". I can understand you didn't "want" to turn to social housing, and I can understand you didn't "want" to turn to foster care for your sister, but sometimes in life we have to settle for things we don't want to do. The planners didn't screw you over. You were just naive and ignorant of the system and how it works, or doesn't work. Hopefully, now, you have learned that UK has no interest in allowing new buildings be put up. The UK has rules and regulations about everything from Green policies to banking restrictions. It's a bureaucratic nightmare. Had you been resident in a go-ahead free market place like Paraguay, you would have been fine, but not the UK. With a million immigrants a year entering the country, no way you are going to get any special treatment. The agenda is to get a roof over the immigrants' heads, not transfer you anywhere while you were offered social housing and foster care. at the end of the day, you made life decisions that were really bad for your plans to still live in the UK. No one compelled you to be in charge of 5 kids, so you can look back on those decisions and reflect. it would be good to know why your request was denied, or why it took so long, but in the UK, such things are normal, not abnormal. best of luck to you, but there was nothing in your story that was unusual for UK in 2024, totally expected, and you can expect things to get a lot lot worse. Every immigrant housed in the UK will put you down lower on the list of priorities regarding building, planning, and accommodating.

  523.  @dorianissock732  1. If an immigrant is willing to integrate, then no "employed workforce" is needed at all! It's not such a monumental task you know! It just takes willingness and consideration on the part of the newcomer! 2. what makes you assume any Muslim immigrant is willing to integrate rather than replicate their home society in the new country? Why would a Muslim who believes that homosexuality is a sin suddenly countenance Gay Pride marches on arrival at Heathrow? You sound clueless about the realities of the world.
    1
  524.  @dorianissock732  yep, in reply to your demand that the taxpayer fund a workforce to effect the integration of new arrivals, whether they like it or not, I said that before that happens, a whole load of immigrants need to be denied entry, because they represent no discernible benefit to the host country. I never said I was the one that decides who gets to stay. I said that masses of those who are here presently don't deserve to be here and should be kicked out. That's my opinion, not me stating that I should be the one to decide. Reading comprehension is not your forte, is it?
    1
  525.  @dorianissock732  ah, I see, so when you said "it's in a country's interests to engage in integration efforts" you meant on a purely voluntary basis and with no cost whatsoever to the taxpayer. Good luck with that. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Still, no, if you choose to live in France, it is entirely up to you to fit in. end of story. as I suspect, you will have problems fitting into French society. already, in your arrogance, you seem to think you know how French officials should deal with migrants. Be prepared for a rough ride as you lecture the French on what their government should do with migrants! No idea where in France you are, but you wouldn't survive long where I am with an attitude like that!

    1
  532.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  cadaver dogs will tell you, from above the ravine, up to about 600 ft, more with a favorable breeze, where the human body is located. no need to enter a ravine to search for any human. the dog will detect the human, then the team enter the ravine to retrieve the body. got it?
    1
  533.  @celtictarotreadings333  ah, so they LIED to the public! Got it. How many other lies did they tell? Actually, they did call off the search. not one single person reported seeing any Guardia Civil activity once the search was called off. Not one.

  534.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  all such finger prints have to be matched to the person's actual fingers! otherwise Qassim, who may well have had his grubby hands all over Jay's shirt, will have left his prints on the shirt, while Jay, with his hands tied behind his back, never touched his own shirt!
    1
  535.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  ok, look, in order to match finger prints, you have to take the actual finger prints, as in a print from a person's hand, and match it with a print that is left on some object. comparing a print on an object with another image of a print NOT from the original hand is just comparing two copies. it's like comparing 2 photocopies and convincing yourself that the original must be the same.
    1
  536.  @i_kissed_a_pixie1537  keep in mind, locating a human is quite different from reaching or retrieving a human body. people keep on how the terrain hinders a search. it doesn't. given that dogs can smell where a human is located, from above the ravine, and given that drones can access almost anywhere these days, locating the body is not the horrendous challenge it once was. in fact, you couldn't disappear if you tried these days. the dogs will locate, and the humans will retrieve. that's IF procedures are followed correctly, which, in this case, they weren't, they were ignored. the question is, why?

  539.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  not when used in connection with a search. "suspendimos la búsqueda" means calling off the search. even if it could mean "adjourn" it was still a lie, because the Guardia Civil now tell us they continued the search and nothing was adjourned!

  561. It's a massive Ponzi scheme. more and more new members (migrants) have to be added to the scheme to keep GDP rising, though GDP per capita keeps falling. and like a Ponzi scheme, with some money coming in, money can also be paid out, but the whole house of cards collapses when the new arrivals stop coming. Like all Ponzi schemes, UK government finances will collapse at some point and the consequences will be horrendous.

  562. sounds like the Police are going to be lenient! they deny there is no 2 Tier policing, so based on the fact the Pakistanis who violently attacked police officers at Manchester Airport have not been charged with anything, the "Far Right" rioters can expect to escape any charges.

  564.  @richardlloyd2589  Many more would apply, and hopefully they would all get denied and the process would take years. The point is that they wouldn't get to the UK. No one cares if more apply and get denied if it happens outside the country. It would be up to the UK electorate to decide if they want a government that allows more or less asylum claims to be granted. At the moment, no one decides how many boats arrive every day.

  566.  @robertgannon-cx2mm  you seem confused, as you conclude exactly what I concluded. what you said initially is untrue. of course there are other legal means to come to the UK, be it by work visa, student visa, tourist visa, all those other legal means are why we have so much legal immigration. the only people who risk their lives to come to the UK are those who would not qualify for entry to the UK legally, or those who want the adventure. the risk is low. nearly all make it across and get hotel accommodation. i would definitely take the risk, the odds are excellent. for many of the men, it's a big adventure. they have loads of money to pay for their big adventure, so, yeah, why not try the crossing? something they love to post on instagram in many cases. my suggestion of applying for asylum from the UK embassy in Paris would work a treat. while in the safe country of France, there will be no persecution while their claim is processed, right?
    1
  567.  @richardlloyd2589  totally agree with you. in the meantime, tell all migrants in Calais that asylum application can be made from the British embassy in Paris, and anyone trying to enter the UK with no valid documentation will be returned immediately to France and stripped of all their possessions as payment for the taxi service. job done.
    1
  568.  @T0MT0Mmmmy  on the contrary, it would comply with international law that states that any claim can be made before entry to the host country. Do you want me to send you a list of countries that treat asylum claims based solely on applications made outside the host country?

  569. while there is a massive market for people smugglers, there will be people smugglers. Jonathan too dumb to understand how market forces work.

  578.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  1. I am holding up the Mossos d'Esquadra as a police organization NOT known for corruption and contrasting the way they work with that of the Guardia Civil. Yes, I have experience working with the Mossos d'Esquadra. 2. GREIM will take orders from whomever is the local force. Just as CRS will work under Spanish authority if joining a mission in Spain. 3. I'm not here to do your homework for you. if you are too lazy to search "cuatro policías detenidos en Tenerife" and start reading the reams written on corruption in Tenerife, then that's your problem. Yes, I have direct experience of corruption among the ranks of the Tenerife police, but I'm wasting my breath with you because you have settled on your narrative and won't be budged. mucha suerte con tu búsqueda para la verdad

  584.  @TraceyGillingham-t3u  Any outside police force , whether it is CRS working in Spain, or a Guardia Civil team from mainland Spain going to Tenerife, will have to abide by the decisions made by the local force on the ground, so, yes, GREIM coming to Tenerife would follow the lead of Tenerife Guardia Civil.

  596.  @Lemingtona-x5g  Africa is not even a country. It is a continent. To qualify for asylum, it is irrelevant how safe a place is. Chicago is unsafe, but no one entering the UK from Chicago would qualify for asylum. The home country has to be at war, or you have to be persecuted for your beliefs. now, you tell me, which countries in Africa are presently at war?

  602.  @david-pb4bi  how ignorant are you? The EU allows freedom of movement. The French had no power to compel anyone to remain in France, and still don't. Only the UK has the authority to refuse entry, as France has no authority to prevent departure from France.

  603.  @stephenjon3502  "used incorrectly". in what way? what should have been done to use it "correctly"? the "upcoming" Dublin IV Agreement? so, in other words, from Brexit to today, staying in the EU would not have helped one bit in the fight against illegal immigration. you are talking about some vague time in the future! let's take your example. you are telling me that for every asylum seeker that goes from France to Belgium, France will have to pay 235,000 GBP? we are talking about a Schengen border, where there are no border controls! How the hell does Belgium prove any of its asylum seekers are coming from France, or Germany, or Netherland, or Luxemburg? Now that our laws are passed in Westminster, and not Brussels, we have the freedom to pass any law we want, thanks to the wise decisions of that 52%. People like you just loved being dictated to by Brussels. Stockholm syndrome.

  604.  @david-pb4bi if by "this" you mean mass migration, "this" has been a problem for decades! Brexit changed nothing. As the ineptness of our leaders in Westminster has increased, along with the means of many migrants to afford the journey, the numbers have risen. By what logic does the UK being a member of the EU deter a migrant in Calais from crossing to the UK?

  605.  @david-pb4bi  we agree that the EU now treats the UK as the enemy. glad you agree that all that patronising BS that comes out of Brussels about "our friends in the UK" is all yet another big lie. we disagree that when we were in the EU we had any say. but go ahead, tell me one piece of major EU legislation that was scrapped or significantly amended all due to UK objections?

I have lived in USA, Oman, Bahamas, Mexico, and availed myself of the FoM the world affords. It's not a uniquely EU thing. As I say, you are ignorant about the world and have Stockholm syndrome. You are a Little Europeaner, unable to view the opportunities outside of the EU. Yes, I want all asylum seekers to apply from their home country, which is the norm for most of the planet. Take a look at what happens to Haitians when they land in the Bahamas and claim "asylum". They are sent back to Haiti immediately. So, are the Bahamians bigoted for sharing my bigoted views? If the Bahamians are also bigots, sounds like you are making a racist accusation now, but par for the course for someone who is such a bigot like you.

  614. Strongly disagree with Calvin. It is vital we know where the lines are drawn and who is allowed to say what. Fox did a great thing, because he exposed that saying that he would never shag a woman like Evans is a statement worthy of canelation, but Jo Brand's "throw battery acid on Nigel Farage" is not. Until the public get a clear and definitive explanation of what the rules are, Fox and others need to keep talking, as they have done, to discover the truth. Let's define "hate speech" once and for all.

  615.  @raymondbullock4557  I'm not sure that's true. If you went by dinghy from Kent to Calais and landed on the beach and then claimed asylum, I think you would be processed as an asylum seeker (if you had no documentation). Bit of a moot point because no one does that and everyone who enters France does so from a Schengen country, so they all enter France legally.

  616. this fool of a "detective" can't even connect the Tenerife drugs world with kidnapping, extortion, people smuggling, nope, it's all about Jay's misadventure, right? tells you all you need to know about the dullards that call themselves "Police" these days.

  617.  @stephendoherty981  conspicuous by its absence, anything of substance to refute what I said. the usual silence from Hamas lovers when it comes to evidence. so, let's dig a little deeper into Stephen Doherty's microscopic mind. Stephen, how many hospitals in the world, would you say, have a network of underground tunnels used for storage of military equipment?

  618.  @peterang6912  how? by using the Rafah crossing with Egypt to allow all essentials in. oh, wait, are you saying that BOTH the Egyptians AND Israelis want nothing to do with the Gazans? Now, why would both Egypt and Israel see eye to eye on that one, I wonder? any answers?
    1
  619.  @peterang6912  How can Israel have any say in a border between Egypt and Gaza? You are deluded and ignorant. If both Egypt and Hamas wanted to open the border at Rafah, of course they could. I'm curious though, tell me, what other borders that do NOT touch Israel do the Israelis control? Does Israel control the Jordanian/Iraqi border? The Finnish/Russian border? The Brazilian/Argentinian border? You are just hilarious.

  624.  @zed351  the problem is, I do understand exactly what "oxymoron" means, and you don't! Let me educate you. Inherent in an oxymoron is a contradiction. you chose two things that do not contradict each other at all. learn the basics of language.
    1
  625. and you would understand that had the Guardia Civil acted effectively in the first 24 hours, they would have been led directly to Jay's body or where Jay toppled over the edge. Lucy is no genius, but she got it right when she mentioned the Guardia Civil didn't seem to be focused on getting dogs on Jay's scent.
    1
  626.  @zed351  so, let us now go to the next level and see how a fact is contradicted, or not, by a conspiracy. a conspiracy is a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful. in what world could a secret plan be a contradiction of a fact? the two are unrelated, and in no way a contradiction! You would say that the Gunpowder Plot and the fact that London is the capital of England is an oxymoron? :) English not your first language I'm guessing? or maybe you are 5 years old?

  627.  @janinecaramanus1392  hence the offer of outside help to get into that terrain, gratefully rejected by the Guardia Civil! Why?

  629.  @celtictarotreadings333  what evidence could still be there now? some of us think it is possible for the Guardia Civil to take a photo of the precise location where the body was found, and to seal off the area to prevent onlookers. odd that you think such actions are impossible.

    1
  633.  @zed351  a conspiracy is a plot conceived by a group to do some harm to someone. a fact is something that is true. so, given that an oxymoron implies a contradiction, why would a fact, say, London is the capital of England, be some form of contradiction to a plot, like the Gunpowder Plot? you make no sense.

Jay has a drugs record, so likely drugs involved, and when Jay suddenly realized he was machete-less, and his 2 new friends were armed, things got out of hand. Am guessing the Tenerife mafia know exactly where to dump a body in that wilderness. just guessing.

  646.  @staticbuilds7613  as you say, so many unanswered questions, and amazingly, no investigative journalists or reporters asking the tough questions of those involved! "what crime though?" we can start with dealing in illegal drugs. get anyone to testify against Lucy and arrest her (is she still on Tenerife?), then when she starts singing, a whole load of other crimes will emerge. bizarrely, the 2 Luton lads were released, but were not questioned in the UK either. beyond weird! i would grill Ofelia too. i would threaten her with arrest if she doesn't come clean and explain all she knows about the Luton lads and when she spoke to Jay. There are crimes here, but they have to be investigated to be discovered. Blundering around a wilderness with dogs for two weeks isn't going to find the crime or solve anything.

  658.  @lyliavix4366  I have a very simple question for you. I suspect that you will refuse to answer, but let's see how brave you are. Would you say that all the countries in the European Union are in Europe? Yes, or no?

We both agree the asylum rules need to be changed, The burning question is why the UK government doesn't.

  669. what is truly ignorant is this absurd assumption that a difficult terrain hinders the discovery of a human body. dogs can follow a human scent to the point it falls off the edge. the question you need to ask yourself is why the Guardia Civil refused to search in this way.
    1
  670.  @zed351  of course, because you know nothing about the difference between a successful search and a failed search. but, i'll give you a chance! let's start with an easy question. is it a good idea for police with dogs to enter the last known room a human was in just before searching for him? yes or no?
    1
  671.  @zed351  as expected, you are incapable of answering even the most basic of questions. Even Lucy was able to work out the answer to that one! oh dear. not the brightest, are you? or...would you like to try and answer?

  672.  @issimondias  who is talking about after a couple of days? looks like you have the very low standards of urgency of the Guardia Civil! why assume that Jay was on a scree slope? your assumptions are truly bizarre!

  674.  @zed351  I have told you. I can read. I read the words of experts. I told you to google "cadaver dogs". Did you? Did you educate yourself, or did you choose to remain ignorant. But you know, it is a curious argument you make. instead of rebutting what I say with evidence, you choose to question my qualifications for saying it! why not just correct my statements? cue crickets. simple question for you. when is it better to do a forensic search? Day 1 or day 16?

  675.  @dorothyblair6741  one girl went missing in equally treacherous terrain in the Alps, and she was found in one hour 30 minutes. if you are interested, I'll let you know how.

  676.  @zed351  fascinating that when faced with such easy questions you refuse to answer! says so much about you.
    1
  677.  @issimondias  you and I have the same doubts. I too very much doubt that such an incompetent and corrupt force as Tenerife's Guardia Civil would think of getting dogs to sniff the airbnb within hours. obvious thing to do, but they chose not to. on a par with waiting until Day 16 to do a forensic search. how about we start with road? at least get the dogs to follow the scent up the road and determine exactly where Jay left the road. would have been a good start, agreed?
    1
  678.  @zed351  just curious, regarding your incessant appeal to authority, the "are you an expert?" mantra. whenever someone says "look at that dog" do you ask "source? are you an expert? are you a vet?"
    1
  679.  @dorothyblair6741  take a look at the extremely rugged terrain of the Pyrenees and see the ravines and chasms where missing persons are located....within hours! you seem to be confused between locating a dead body and retrieving a dead body. happy to explain the difference any time you want.
    1
  680.  @issimondias  all the evidence you need is the visible evidence of drug taking on Veronica's Strip, the word of the locals, and the very low detection rate of drugs smuggled onto the island. You don't need to be a vet to know what a dog is, and you don't need to be a graduate from Police Academy to sniff corruption everywhere on Tenerife. The more important question is why you choose to ignore such reality.
    1
  681.  @celtictarotreadings333  rubbish. even a child realizes that the best option is to stay on the road or return to the road. if you are lost you either go back or sit and wait for help. you don't go to the edge of a ravine and fall in. your conspiracy theories about why Jay "got lost" are pathetic.
    1
  682.  @issimondias  looks like reading comprehension is not your forte. no mention was made of my police experience. however, if you really want to read about the corrupt police in Tenerife, and you can read Spanish, google "detenidos cuatro policías nacionales en Tenerife por revelar secretos y trafico de drogas" y leer el artículo en El Día. ¿Conoces Tenerife bien, no?
    1
  683.  @issimondias  just to show you how weak you are, let's ask you a simple question and then observe how you refuse to answer. Yes, or no. It's better to conduct a forensic search of a property on Day One rather than Day 16?
    1
  684.  @issimondias  do you know how to use a search engine? can you read Spanish fluently? "detenidos cuatro policías nacionales en Tenerife.."
    1
  685.  @issimondias  you said it! you can ONLY imagine that the local police had thought about this. in other words, you are 100% incapable of imagining any other possible scenario! blinkered, tunnel vision, no thinking outside the box, you can ONLY imagine one thing. explains so much.
    1
  686.  @issimondias  again, your "incredibly likely" is 100% contradicted by all the evidence. you have chosen to believe what you like to believe and ignore the evidence. pure conspiracy theory! now, to pinpoint your wayward thinking, let's give you a simple question, which you will refuse to answer, I'm pretty sure. yes, or no. Did Brad report Jay as being in any way impaired when Brad described their video phone conversation? cue crickets.
    1
  687.  @issimondias  as expected, totally incapable of answering the question. par for the course. and that was the simple question, a yes or no answer, that you couldn't handle! oh boy, how do you get through the working day? ok, if at any time you feel wise enough to answer the question, just let me know. adiós.
    1
  688.  @issimondias  unlike you, I am happy to answer any question, because I don't dodge an issue, and I am capable of answering questions. yes, it does seem plausible that his friend would claim that. Now, to double check your accuracy I will listen to the Brad interview again and see how accurately you reported it.
    1
  689.  @issimondias  Did Brad say he could see Jay's feet?
    1
  690.  @issimondias  "that's how I knew he went off the road, you could hear gravel, you know what I mean, stones" once again, more conspiracy theories from you! not a single word about seeing anything, and no mention of falling downhill! do you lie and create conspiracy theories habitually
    1
  691.  @issimondias  interviewer "were you concerned at that point?" Brad "at that time, no." where is the evidence that Jay was in bad shape?
    1
  692.  @issimondias  all you are doing is giving me multiple examples of how reporters distort what is actually said. I base my information on what Brad actually said, not on what I believe he said . Within the interviewer's question, she actually asks TWO distinct questions. 1. Did you see Jay's feet slipping down? and then a follow up question. 2. Did you hear him slipping? Now, listen carefully to Brad's answer. Brad says NOTHING about seeing anything. Brad addresses ONLY the second question, and confirms he HEARD the sound of gravel, you know what I mean, stones. The interviewer never pressed him on what he saw. If your point is that Brad's words were repeatedly misreported, I 100% agree with you. I don't deal with misreporting. I deal with what was said, I recommend you do the same. For example, Lucy never said that Jay was thirsty, Check her precise words!
    1
  693.  @issimondias  I know you will refuse to answer again, but just for fun, I'm going to try, just to prove my point. Did Brad ever mention in his interview that Jay was impaired in any way? yes or no?
    1
  694.  @issimondias  thanks for the diagnosis, doc. only problem is, the patient never said he was suffering from anything, and neither did ANYONE that interacted with him that morning! You are looking for symptoms that didn't exist!
    1
  695.  @issimondias  Ah, so we finally have an answer from you! Progress. Correct, the answer is NO! Brad NEVER said anything about Jay being impaired. Next question. Yes or no. Did Lucy ever mention Jay seemed impaired? yes or no?
    1
  696.  @issimondias  I can see why you get so confused! You use pronouns too much, and that bad habit muddies the waters. Writer's tip for you... Avoid "he", "his", "him" and state the name of the person to whom you refer. I don't deal with suppositions. Unlike you, I'm not a conspiracy theorist who puts 2 and 2 together and gets 5. Neither you nor I have any idea if Jay was dehydrated or not. The evidence suggests he was not. Now, the only person I have heard talk about Jay's condition was Lucy. Lucy never said that Jay was out of water. Lucy never said that Jay was thirsty. This time, I'll let you do your homework. What were the exact words Lucy used? You say "he stated he was out of water". Who is "he"? Jay? Brad? In which interview did Brad say, or did Brad say that Jay said, "he was out of water"?
    1
  697.  @issimondias  just curious...what do you think the temperature was in Masca when Jay started off walking quickly, without any signs of impairment, up that road from the airbnb?
    1
  698.  @issimondias  BTW, I'm not saying Brad's testimony is reliable, but his word is evidence, as is everything that has been said by those who talked to Jay. The problem I have with your conspiracy theories is they are all based on no evidence, on nothing buy supposition! You are making stuff up, only because it fits the theory you and others have conspired to share.
    1
  699.  @issimondias  again, you suppose things with no evidence. Brad already said in the interview that Jay had the stamina to party all night and be fine the next morning and go out and do it again. being out all night is no big deal. if Jay had 6 hours quality sleep Sunday afternoon/evening, not only would he be fine all through the night but well into the next day too. I know people who work a 12 hour night shift, 8 pm to 8 am, and then are awake for hours after that before needing sleep. I don't deal with "in all likelihood". neither you nor I know what Jay drank or took that night. If we go by Jay's words, he was sound enough to steal a watch and get away with it. You are a very confident person. You are confident that the temperature in Masca was higher than in Lancashire when Jay left the airbnb. MWT told us the temperature at the time in Masca when Jay started walking. If you don't know the answer, have a guess, a confident guess!

  710. the only problem is, the conspiracy theories either panned out, or were never debunked. drugs were involved, Jay bragged about his thieving, the Maruba did disappear from AIS, so this blowhard is actually highlighting how the "conspiracy theorists" were discovering plausible explanations, something the Guardia Civil and media never did.

  718. just laughable that UK thinks it can get the snowflake generation to fight for the UK, a place many of them have been indoctrinated to despise. if it weren't for the nuclear deterrent, UK would already be toast.

  719. they are not fuelling conspiracy theories. they are inviting the world to explain this mystery as best we can because they refuse to investigate it.

  720. The riots wouldn't be happening if the government had fulfilled their promise to slash immigration rates. the moral of the story is, if you want to avoid riots, listen and act upon the demands of the masses, especially when you already promised to do so and then reneged on that promise.

  721. Thought experiment; let us assume 100% factually correct information had been released immediately after the arrest of dear Axel in Southport. Let us assume that the Police had announced that the suspect in the murders was the African son of immigrants from Rwanda allowed to settle and live in the UK. Does anyone REALLY think that that truth would have made any difference, and the mob would have stayed at home, peacefully saying "oh, that makes ALL the difference, because had it been a Muslim asylum seeker, I would have rioted, but as it is only an African son of African immigrants, I'm fine with that"?.

  723. "invaded illegally" Tobias, give us all a quick run down of all the legal invasions in world history, and all the illegal ones, and cite the law that determines each legal and illegal invasion. or, does "illegal invasion" just mean one you don't like?

  724.  @SteveGreenwood-gb7dc  because speaking up about the problem, mass immigration and Islam, will get you cancelled and possibly beheaded. Safer to keep quiet and pretend everything is ok.

  725. Given Ben Hodges has got everything about this conflict wrong so far, we should immediately sue for peace and let Putin have what he wants. Putin would be a much better PM for the UK than Starmer.

  726. in the long run, it may well be best to sort all this out now. the gimmegrants, Muslims and wokesters fight it out with the patriots, losers get to live in Scotland, it would resolve a lot of issues in a relatively short period of time.

  728. this is the hypocrite Bleksley who had to back-peddle furiously today and apologize for what he had said about internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists. now he is falling over himself trying to say the internet sleuths and conspiracy theorists were RIGHT all along to say the body is not in a gorge that Jay never went to, and that solve the crimes and you will find the body. better late than never, Plod!

  731. How can this fool talk of "criminal gangs" when all they do is bring people over to the UK so that they can claim asylum! If the people organizing the boat traffic were assisting migrants do something illegal, then the migrants would be arrested on arrival in Dover! But none of them is! So, it's legal and those who organize this legal activity should be praised.

  732.  @rumples2698  you can't. not possible. it's like trying to stop tobacco smugglers or any kind of smuggling. while there is a demand for any good or service, there will be people fulfilling the role of providing that good or service. dream on.

  736.  @CelticSaint  agreed. the details of the interview SHOULD reveal so much, but my fear is the Guardia Civil treated the whole interview as nothing more than a missing person Q and A, and nothing else, and didn't ask the right questions that would have led to an arrest for suspicion of foul play. Guardia Civil f***ed up.

  737.  @georgezee5173  only a fool would believe Liar Lucy word for word! You probably 100% believe her line about the sugary white substance she sells is not addictive and is of the finest quality, right? it could well be that the 2 strangers did nothing bad to Jay, and it could be they tried to help him, either get him off the island or to a safe house, if Moroccan gangsters are after him. we simply don't know. nothing in the interview helped with info about Jay's disappearance, but i have a feeling the interviewers messed up by not grilling these guys on why they had linked up with Jay. the area they are searching is not that large! here in the Pyrenees, people disappear in the treacherous terrain regularly, and are found, dead or alive, in hours, with drones, dogs and helicopters. the weather conditions in Tenerife are perfect, maximum hours of sunlight, they can't find a trace after 12 days because Jay never went there! when they wake up and focus on the crime, or crimes, rather than the disappearance, they will get somewhere.

  738.  @Emy53  1. no reason to assume the 2 men are in the UK. 2. no reason to assume that Jay was trying to find his way back when he left the airbnb. 3. no reason to assume Jay was unharmed when he left the airbnb, though almost certainly he wasn't physically harmed. could be his bank account was drained, we just don't know.

  739.  @georgezee5173  we have no idea what Jay said, or didn't say, to Lucy. We only have Lucy's word on what she claims Jay said. Do you believe Lucy is a 100% honest and upright person?

  740.  @georgezee5173  and at the time of that call, exactly how many meters could Jay have been from the road? 400?:)

  741.  @PatriciaDowrick-ux3kc  yep. don't discount the idea that his safe house is located on the other side of the island, so as much evidence of a presence in the far north west of the island would be really useful. smokescreen would explain a lot.

  746.  @NM-qt3oi  IMO the government cannot make life better for all citizens. The government can only take taxpayers money and decide how to spend it. Some people will gain, some will lose. It is the individual's duty to find housing, not the government's. what else do you want the government to provide? free food and vacations?

  747.  @NM-qt3oi  Cornwall will always have a very high demand for holiday accommodation. Only a fool would choose to house low income tenants over hosting tourists.

  749.  @FoolsDiary  sorry, it's not a question of agreeing with sink or swim, or not. that's like saying you don't agree with the notion of rich and poor. it's a reality, and the question is how to deal with this reality. In first world countries, there are hundreds of opportunities and safety nets, such as public education for all, NHS, universal credit. yet, despite the taxpayer being forced to provide all that "help", we still get people who do nothing but moan, complain, and get bitter about how life is so unfair. i would suggest all those who have enough money to support war in Ukraine and Green policies set up a volunteer charity to cover all the expenses of those in need. but the funny thing is, people prefer others to contribute, not themselves through charity. I left Cornwall at a young age because it was clear to me Cornwall is a great place to visit or retire to, but not to make a living.

  750. @beaterbikechannel2538 what happens in England when you go to the council and state you are homeless and unless a roof over your head is provided, you will have to sleep on the steps of the council office?

  751.  @Ha15679  when you say "they need to convert these spaces into homes", who, exactly, is "they"? Surely the owners of office spaces can do what they want with their property? Or, are you now advocating government be the sole owner of all property?

  752.  @daydays12  If it's the free market that results in second homes, how to account for all those second homes that existed in Socialist paradises such as USSR? Surely you have heard of the word "dacha"? Homelessness is the result of a number of factors, but what would help your argument would be a definition of homelessness, followed by evidence that a free market is the big determining factor. In a free market, property owners have every incentive to draw up their own contracts and tenants have the freedom to sign or not to sign. In a regulated economy, the property owner has no such incentive, hence the lack of housing available.

  754.  @phil.f.9930  "build more static caravan sites" paid for by whom? who is preventing you giving your last penny to such a project? or do you mean other people should pay for this? Government should not be interfering in the housing market. there should be no housing provided to anyone, neither migrants nor the poor. housing people just incentivizes more people to demand they be housed.

  755.  @phil.f.9930  2 things would solve this. 1. end immigration 2. get government out of regulating the rental business. let landlords and tenants establish their own contracts without government rules and interference.

  756.  @SunnieDae1  "some rules and regs have to be in place". not many, and certainly not the bureaucratic mountain of restrictions we have today. tell me, what terrible things would happen if property developers had a free hand? tell me what dystopia would happen and why.

  757.  @jacqueline8559  well said. the truth is, it is an outrage for anyone to dictate to any property owner what they must, or must not, do with their own investment. end of story.

  759.  @ChangesOneTim  The free market is a mechanism, it doesn't look after anyone! It just happens to be the mechanism that provides the best overall outcome. Regulation just interferes and makes everything, on balance, worse. We have reached this mess because of over regulation.
    1
  760.  @ChangesOneTim  not sure what you are blabbing on about, but economic migration, whether it be Cornish or not, is the free market at play, and it works well. I'm not advocating any reserves. no idea how you came up with that. there'll never be an agreement between the State and the Free Market because the free market is not a group of people! It is a natural condition of the universe! Just as there will never be an agreement between the State and Gravity!
    1
  761.  @ChangesOneTim  laissez faire is the answer. remove all the regulations and all the carrots you claim exist, and then see where the chips lie. the market will establish a meeting point of supply and demand. if regulations are maintained on how much can be built and where, then that will act as a brake on supply and rents will go up. it's all about trade offs, but the more the government interferes in the market, the worse things get, on balance. end immigration and you will see a drop in demand for housing, and rental prices will come down, if that is your aim. you can't have mass immigration and no rent increases.

  762.  @radicalcartoons2766  Airbnb owners will find ways around dictatorial restrictions placed on property owners. This has already started to happen in the Barcelona area. Rent caps just discourage landlords and entrepreneurs from putting accommodation on the market, so, well done, what you have suggested so far has made things worse! Does "give locals top priority for rentals" mean prohibiting all immigrants from access to accommodation?

  765.  @BrazenBull91  well, at least you recognize ONE horrendous mistake the Guardia Civil made, but there is a long list of errors made. if only the Guardia Civil had followed standard protocol! Lucy is no genius, but she mentioned one stupendous error, namely it looked like the Guardia Civil dogs were not following Jay's scent. Guardia Civil messed up the first 24 hours. happy to tell you in detail if you are at all interested.
