What Would You Do?

[10ClarionSt]

I've seen that a lot in the replies and posts on here since Monday night. One man on the radio this morning, a former senior member of COBRA, said the answer is to deport all those with known connections to terrorism. Even if there isn't enough evidence to bring them to trial. If their activities have brought them to the attention of the security forces, they should be deported without any questions being asked. Summary dismissal!

///The problem with interring people///

Is that it's a bit final, burying them is a bit drastic imho.

[237SJ]

Without evidence we wouldn't be able to detain them though. The law would see to that.

[rockyracoon]

Lol. I meant interning. Some folk might like the alternative though, it is a little bit appealing.

[rockyracoon]

That's the sort of thing that I would like to see, DB.

[237SJ]

Thanks for that Baldric. Have you got an opinion or do you just want to correct typos? Sorry if my concentration is not good being that I have been out of bed for 24 hours. Still - carry on :-)

[rockyracoon]

237, you just copied from me. I got it wrong (or right, depending on your humour) in the first place.

Hi 10C.....I left the Catholic Church many, many years ago....
When the scale of the abuse came to light I expected my family and friends to walk away...most didn't of course.....a few did.....

In view of what is being carried out in the name of Islam I expect followers of that faith to do the same as I expected of Catholics....

If you want to live in Britain and benefit from all it offers .....and not being British this would apply to me....you accept that if you, or a member of your family, carries out these atrocities or is proved to be on a "person of interest" list.....then you leave....to where?...The country of your forefathers I suppose.....I really don't know...but you don't accept or receive the hospitality of Britain.....

And yes....I'll be shot down by some...that will bother me not....

I think I'm a kind person......but I'm not soft and I am very black and white.........we shouldn't come here hoping for a better life and then destroy the lives of the people who have taken us in..........Gx

237, you'll feel so much better after a sleep.

[237SJ]

^I`m sure I will but when I wake up in the morning I will still think you are being an *** :-)

The clue to your post is in the description of the man who spoke on the radio as a FORMER senior member of COBRA. I wonder why he is a former member, Could it be that his views are illegal and would result in prosecution if he tried to implement them ??

gness admits to being a zebra !

[Old_Geezer]

(maybe a penguin)

[gness]

I will accept zebra, OG.....penguins put me in mind of nuns... :-(

[driverdale1]

Totally agree...deport the lot of them

[RobNorth]

It would seem that we are doing all we can given the laws of the land, ironically also the reason many of these people come here...the Manchester MP Lucy Powell said today that the perpetrators of these acts are "deranged and not human beings" which is wrong - they are just the opposite. The people involved in the 2007 London/Glasgow Airport bombings comprised of Medical Doctors and a Professional Engineer - it seems unlikely they were all deranged or inhuman, even if they were mostly related.

I suggested only days ago – and not for the first time – that foreign nationals on the watch list be deported along with their families, and that those with British citizenship be imprisoned. It didn’t go down too well here - but what's new?

// If they were born here, internment, as the Americans did to the Japanese in WW2.//

no they didnt

the Japanese parents were interned (in unpleasant conditions but nothing like what he Emperor was doing in the co-prosperity sphere)
and the sons being american citizens were called up

also occurred in SOuth Africa 1900 where the burgers of the Dutch republics called up those of english parents who had been born in Freedom to fight against the White Queen

and ireland where the young irish were in the trenches and read about their parents and the black and tans and mutinied ( Connaught Mutiny)

so Vulvan - if you dont like history as it is - just rewrite it !

Naomi, forget about negative reaction on AB.

I'll try and get you an invite to the next COBRA meeting :-)
