If you enjoy someones company on whatever level, then surely it doesn't need a label?

& those you don't enjoy, you label.

As I stated earlier, it's a two way street, but some folks don't like others on "their" street.

So explain why many are here holding their own country's passport & not a British one?

An oath of allegiance should be for all that wish to reside here & avail themselves of the benefits of residing here. Don't like that then they should leave.

What a cowardly reply! We post our opinions, yet you feel it necessary to knock those opinions down. For once, post your opinion without the "need" to teach people how to suck eggs & looking down your nose while doing so. You are no longer useful to society, many of us will eventually also reach that point in life. Accept it & also accept the fact that "your beloved country" got where it is by the service of many nationalities.

"England" never has achieved much, it was Britain that did so.

As for letter writing or contacting officials, we'll leave that to people such as yourself.

One of the best statements made by an individual leader...

Theresa May United States speech
"This cannot mean a return to the failed policies of the past. The days of Britain and America intervening in sovereign countries in an attempt to remake the world in our own image are over."

...the problem is that there are still too many in both countries who refuse to accept that. Until they do, there'll be no moving forward.

As history shows, it's those very interests that led to the problems of today.

How many of those interests are actually in the interest of the countries & how many are just interests for companies whose sole interest is profit?

For example:

Was it in the interest of the country or British Airways to outsource such an important part of Britain's transport infrastructure?

...the problem is that there are still too many in both countries who refuse to accept that. Until they do, there'll be no moving forward.

The problem is they are concentrated in the State Departments and Economic Development Departments of both countries.

In my 66 years on this earth I have yet to work out why there is so much hate all round.

I would suggest that it is mainly because it is religion based.

Try ego. You will get a much better fit to the data.

Therein lies a major problem. Yes it is nice that they speak out, however that is only because it will look bad if they do not. The one thing they will not do is to report their own to "infidels". That is what needs to be addressed.

I'm quoting part of one of my posts because of this report

Read the report in full & then watch the video from his father.

Fair comments. However, what to make of it all? How about the glaringly obvious?

He checked his son's passports & they were clean, maybe they were, BUT he did not travel?

In that case did he use a "Persian carpet" to get to Libya, Prague & Dusseldorf & back to the UK?

He has no beliefs in anything like that? So the fact that he & his father fought against Gaddafi's forces was just a "youthful adventure"?

Those facts together with the photo of one of his brothers handling a heavy machine gun & his return to the UK on the 18th should have immediately put him very high up on the watch list.

The one that bugs me is this: - WHO saw him in Prague & Dusseldorf on those stopovers?

Pretty much what I also said, their society not snitching on their own. So nice for once to agree on something!

Fair comments again. BUT..
I believe I stated that 1st only for you to...

...anyway back to the topic being discussed. IMHO, I believe that even though he may have been low riding on the security watch list, the fact is that he was on it. Therefore it would have been on all watch lists within Europe & that is how he was spotted. So pretty sure that it was reported to London at or possibly not long after his flight departed for the UK.

4 days later...

...you're bloody right answers are wanted!

Trump 'poised to quit Paris climate deal'

Could somebody please impeach him as quickly as possible, and replace him with a President with at least a passing knowledge of scientific method and interpretation of evidence?

Even better why not do the world a favor and do what " Cancer Man " did to a certain US Pres in the X - Files , surely certain " letter " agency's MUST be thinking it :-)

President Donald Trump has been handing out his cellphone number to world leaders and urging them to call him directly, an unusual invitation that breaks diplomatic protocol and is raising concerns about the security and secrecy of the U.S. commander in chief's communications.

Presidents generally place calls on one of several secure phone lines, including those in the White House Situation Room, the Oval Office or the presidential limousine. Even if Trump uses his government-issued cellphone, his calls are vulnerable to eavesdropping, particularly from foreign governments, national security experts say.

Trump has struggled more than most recent presidents to keep his conversations with world leaders private. His remarks to Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Russian diplomats have all leaked, presumably after notes of the conversations were circulated by national security officials.

Unfortunately the next in line is VP Pence who commits himself to very little except the belief that his god is The God and His edicts as interpreted by Pence are more important than anything other consideration. He is a skeptic on climate change and won't say whether he accepts evolution or not.
