All completely unchallenged.

Which is gas these days, watching some try to claim otherwise. I blame the person who set the woods on fire and sent the 'wolves' as you want to call them flying out towards us. Don't worry though, you and the people claiming to never be in favour of Iraq despite being very much so at the time can plod along singing "we didn't start the fire" all you like.

We don’t know how many other illegals are here, or how often Gardai in Dundalk come across them and set them on their merry way. That’s a major border and security breach.

We certainly are appealing to people who knew the suspect from the time he was in the jurisdiction,” Chief Supt Mangan said.errm Supt Mangan, shouldnt you be telling us the minute, hour and day when an illegal person came into the country and not asking people to help you do so? we are an island, there is no way any person should come in here without adequate docmentation.

But the neocon and Military Industrial Complex pushed for war as that would be more profitable for themselves. The entire Middle East would be entirely better off if they were ruled by severe dictatorships like Gaddafi etc. Ideally greater Israel would be created and the IDF have control, or else direct colonisation. Irregardless of what happens in the Middle East it is not Europes problem and if we patrolled and locked down our frontiers then cases like this would be prevented. Racial profiing and random stop and search should be introduced. The PPS card should be made mandatory and further evolved into a mandatory National Identity Card. No proof of identity then time in the the cell until background checks can be carried out, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, you are either against terror or you are the enemy.
