Former MI6 Boss Backs Brexit - Ease of Deportation & Border Control

Sir Richard Dearlove said Brexit would make it easier to deport terrorists and control our borders. He added that Europe could not turn its back on Britain if it left the EU because our intelligence services 'give much more' than they get in return. In any event, Washington was a more important counter-terror ally, he said. The former spy chief also dismissed suggestions that Brexit would harm our relationship with the US and likened the EU's various intelligence bodies to the 'leakiest ships of state' and colanders riddled with holes. David Cameron and other senior ministers have relied heavily on claims that Britain is more secure inside the Brussels club because of measures like the European arrest warrant. But, in a devastating intervention, Sir Richard said: 'Few would notice its passing.' His assessment was backed by a government minister and London Mayor Boris Johnson – who warned EU judges were making it harder to throw out fanatics. Sir Richard, who was chief of the Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 to 2004, wrote in the current affairs magazine Prospect: 'Whether one is an enthusiastic European or not, the truth about Brexit from a national security perspective is that the cost to Britain would be low. 'Brexit would bring two potentially important security gains: the ability to dump the European Convention on Human Rights – remember the difficulty of extraditing the extremist Abu Hamza of the Finsbury Park Mosque – and, more importantly, greater control over immigration from the European Union.' He adds: 'Britain is Europe's leader in intelligence and security matters and gives much more than it gets in return. 'It is difficult to imagine any of the other EU members ending the relationships they already enjoy with the UK.' He says liaison between allies is partly driven by 'moral considerations' – so that if Germany learns of a terrorist plot against London, it would not withhold the intelligence from MI5 simply because the UK is not in the EU. Sir Richard concludes: 'Would Brexit damage our defence and intelligence relationship with the United States, which outweighs anything European by many factors of 10? I conclude confidently that no, it would not. 'There would be disapproval of Brexit in Washington, and some disappointment too, but the practical consideration of living in a dangerous world and depending on true friends would win out. In short, Europe would be the potential losers in national security. But if Brexit happened, the UK would almost certainly show the magnanimity not to make its European partners pay the cost.' Theresa May yesterday said EU membership – and access to its intelligence – was 'of benefit' in thwarting terror plots. The Home Secretary told MPs: 'I think there are a number of mechanisms that we are part of within the EU that do enhance our security.' But Boris Johnson and farming minister George Eustice both warned that EU membership was harming national security. The London Mayor told MPs: 'I've seen various people quoted as saying that remaining in the EU is essential for security. 'I think it's important to put a countervailing point which is that there are some ways now that the European Court of Justice is militating against our ability to control our borders in the way we want to and indeed to maintain proper surveillance. 'If you look at the case of Abu Hamza's niece, who tried to smuggle SIM cards to him in prison, we couldn't deport her not because of the Strasbourg Court of Human Rights but because of the European Court in Luxembourg, which is now able to adjudicate on the entire corpus of the Charter of Fundamental Rights.' Mr Eustice said the Schengen zone of passport-free travel on the continent meant terrorists could move more freely within the EU.' Yesterday Belgium's ambassador to the UK, Guy Trouveroy, also conceded that free movement increased the risk of terrorist attacks. He said: 'There is no hiding... It is an issue.' But No.10 pointed to comments by David Anderson QC, the independent reviewer of terror laws, and former Foreign Secretary Malcolm Rifkind, who both insisted Britain would be safer inside the EU. Mr Anderson told the BBC that the UK, which is not in the Schengen zone, is 'much easier to defend' because of our sea border despite the huge cost and inconvenience to travellers. Last night former Home Secretary Lord Howard called the EU a 'failing project' that is 'failing to keep its people safe'. The former Tory leader said Schengen was akin to 'hanging a sign welcoming terrorists to Europe'. Attempts by some Out campaigners to link the EU's free movement rules to the atrocity were criticised by Mr Cameron, who said it was 'not appropriate' to score political points. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3506991/UK-safer-Europe-says-former-MI6-chief-Sir-Richard-Dearlove-suggests-Brexit-make-easier-deport-terrorists.html -------/\/\/ ---------------------- ---------------------- COMMENT It's the perfect time to push the issue that Dave Cameron's trying to dismiss: "Mr Cameron ... said it was 'not appropriate' to score political points." Even though the ex-MI6 guy, Richard Dearlove, is associated with what they call the 'sexed up' intelligence report ahead of the Iraq invasion 2003, what he says re Brexit makes perfect sense. That David Cameron is a slimy weasel. Sir Malcom Rifkind doesn't sound much better: "Two years later, Rifkind advocated British military intervention in the Syrian Civil War, with or without a mandate from the United Nations." [source] Rifkind was also involved in lobbying for the destruction of Libya, by 'neutralisation' of Gaddafi's conventional forces. So Europe probably has him to thank for the tidal wave of non-Europeans pouring into Europe, together with the terrorists among them. Why is he so bent on remaining in the EU, when Dearlove has made it plain that Brexit's the go and the security gains outweigh the non-existent costs? Rifkind was appointed Chairman of Armor Group (US-owned), one of the largest security groups in Iraq -- here. So this is the British-American revolving door? There's something unseemly about such an appointment, as it gives the impression that former politician war-hawks get rewarded by the sector that they previously enriched by lobbying for war while in office. Perhaps Rifkind has an American bias, now that he works for an American firm? Americans are described as likely to be 'disappointed' should Britain exit the EU, so the EU thing must serve them and their interests. Bet the Americans are behind the invasion of Europe -- as in, they're most likely funding and arranging the mass movement, whether directly, through third parties, or in partnership. Read somewhere that the US and Britain want a weakened German EU partner.  But that doesn't explain the destruction of Sweden. Maybe they just want a weak European native population?

ꕤ Article SOURCE various, as marked TRANSLATION violence Two fights in an hour, shock at Porta Venezia. The anger of residents di Gianni Santucci 8 ottobre 2015 | 08:56 Before midnight groups of foreigners have dealt with blows of bottles and throwing ashtrays. Immediately after the beating of a young man In front of ''Asmara cafe" remain bottles, glasses, an ashtray overturned with its support steel, the cross-section of a car headlight. The fight lasted a couple of minutes: about twenty people (the Horn of Africa, apparently) divided into two groups, some men have turned to run from the corner of Via Tadino and attacked those standing outside the bar; beer bottles hurled like stones splintered on the wall, the shards challenged to hold off the attackers; kicking, punching, men chasing each other, girls screaming loudly, the owner of the kebab has pulled down the shutters. The police arrive immediately (the Flying run continuously in that area), but at that point, at the approach of the sirens, are nearly all disappeared. It remains only an Eritrean girl, 25, who took a shot to the head and was taken to hospital. I'm a little after 23 on Tuesday night. "And today we have given," he smiles a waiter who works here in the heart of Porta Venezia, in over a year landing of refugees from the Horn of Africa, the epicenter of the town anger and protests by "conditions become unbearable." But the evening stupid Via Lazzaro Palazzi is not over yet. Customers of the restaurants back to sit, waiters reopen the doors that had blocked the boy kebab runs behind the counter. You have to spend an evening in this quadrangle of streets, Lecco-Tadino-Casati-Palaces, the old Lazzaretto, to understand what is happening between the buildings that once absorbed large numbers of immigrants from the South, while the first African communities in a balance that until a few years ago for better or worse has held, while for months now exploding evenings like Tuesday. An hour has passed from the first fight, and no one has swept the broken glass from the sidewalk, when a boy from Senegal through to two or three times, up and down, the same cross between road and palaces via Tadino. Tall, wearing a pair of brown polyester slacks, shirtless, long dreadlocks. They call Jimmy and know him in many, they say that day gains something by selling bracelets, while tonight waves his arms under the streetlights and the rain and shouting against someone who allegedly stole a cell phone. It is unclear who is trying. For a while 'disappears. Soon after, twenty minutes after midnight, a man runs at breakneck speed on the sidewalk of Via Palazzi: Jimmy chases him, is a fury, the land at the corner of Via Lecco, against cesate the yard behind the church; crushes him with a knee; man (Guinea, former restaurant owner) screaming "help" for a couple of times; someone across the street, says "let Jimmy", while a citizen is in line with the 112 and says: "I'll still be away Palaces." The man on the ground sinks his teeth into the hand of his attacker, who now dripping blood, Jimmy gets up and launches two kicks with all his might against the head; More blood on the asphalt. Pass pass less than a minute and come two policemen, who jump on the boy from Senegal and handcuff him. Customers of the restaurants have witnessed a fight and aggression. Within an hour. In a space of 50 meters. Wednesday morning the inhabitants of the "Committee of Liberation" (of which includes a representative of the Ethiopian community) have reported the facts of the evening at a meeting in the prefecture, where they asked a fixed garrison of law enforcement to "return to conditions minimum livability in a historic neighborhood of African integration in Milan. " Yesterday afternoon was organized a new operation control by the police, the eleventh since July 18 last year, the fourth in just the first days of October. "Every Thursday we analyze the situation of Porta Venezia - concluded the commissioner for Security, Marco Granelli - during the committees in the prefecture. For some locals we encountered repeatedly violations involving issues of public policy, from the late closing the outdoor music. We are considering urgent orders for the closure of these places.

A build-up of asylum-seekers at major train stations in both Rome and Milan led to clashes with police and calls from angry politicians demanding EU assistance. AFP reports that over the course of the week hundreds of migrants attempting to reach northern Europe gathered in Milan Central and Rome’s Tiburtina train stations. The Schengen Agreement normally means migrants landing in Italy freely travel through neighbouring southern and central European countries as they attempt to reach Britain, Germany and Scandinavia. However, migrants’ progress is currently blocked because of the temporary suspension of Schengen and reintroduction of border controls brought about by Monday’s G7 summit in Germany. This, allied with increased public transportation spot checks, means the migrants remained in the train stations which were “left looking like refugee camps.” Police forcibly cleared a makeshift camp in Rome on Thursday after local businesses complained that security and sanitation issues mean the surrounding district was becoming a no-go area. By Friday, however, large numbers of the mainly African migrants were already attempting to reassemble nearby. Elsewhere, more than 100 migrants, mostly women and children, were removed from Milan Central station overnight and housed in reception centres. Concerned by the prevalence of scabies, local authorities offered migrants health checks. Giorgio Ciconali, a doctor working at the station, told AFP: “There is a lot of scabies and it is being spread by them sleeping rough together, but there is nothing to worry about for people passing through the station.” Million is a 28 year old Eritrean migrant stranded in Milan, part of a group sleeping rough in the Porta Venezia district. He arrived in the country by boat and initially reached Switzerland where he was detained and flown back to Italy.  Reluctant to return to Eritrea for fear of being jailed, he told AFP: “I can’t totally criticise the Italians because they have saved most of our lives [at sea]. But now we are here, they do nothing for us. We are reduced to sleeping under bushes, eating biscuits and water and living like tramps. It’s no kind of life, but if you have been fingerprinted you can’t go anywhere.” Northern League leader Matteo Salvini blames the situation on Prime Minister Matteo Renzi‘s failure to persuade other EU member states to take a share of the incoming migrants.  He said: “If the government had any balls they would go to Brussels and tell the EU they are not getting another cent from Italy until they recognise we are part of Europe.” http://www.breitbart.com/london/2015/06/13/italys-immigration-crisis-reaches-boiling-point/ The European border where some die while others play golf November 14, 2014 Michael Bonvalot Photo courtesy of José Palazón Melilla is a city on the east coast of Morocco belong to Spain since the fifteenth century. Morocco does not recognize Spanish sovereignty over the city and, as expected, this has resulted in a confusing situation that also involves the issue of immigration. The city of Melilla is surrounded by three fences; one belongs to Morocco, the other two to Spain. If a migrant can not step over all three is still within the 'scope of the Schengen treaty, but at least it is within Europe. For this, every day, many try to climb over these fences, often with surrealistic - as in the photo you see above, taken last month by activist José Palazón on a golf course located between the Schengen area and Africa. The Viennese artist Tanja Boukal has just returned from Melilla, where she went to do research and gather information on refugee camps. I called her and asked her to explain what's going on in that picture, and more generally in Melilla. VICE: What exactly happened on October 15, the day it was taken that famous photo? Tanja Boukal: At 7:50 am a group of migrants tried to climb over the fences on the border. They chose that hour because they knew that the changing of the guard would take place between 7.45 and 8.00. The place where they decided to climb is near the refugee camp of Melilla. And between the refugee camp and the fence is, in fact, a golf course. The craziest thing is that the golf course was built with funds from the European community. It was built to improve the quality of life of the inhabitants of Melilla, while beyond the fence, people die. Just the day before there had been an escape attempt was successful, then the Spanish frontier police were on alert. About 200 refugees tried to climb over the fence: the majority of them were rejected by the Moroccan border guards, but 15 managed to get to the other part, on Spanish soil. Although not visible in the picture, between the fence and the golf course there is a road that day was manned by Spanish police officers with batons, pepper spray and dogs. On the other hand, however, there were border police Moroccans with the bars in hand. The migrants were trapped: they could go neither forward nor back. Spanish police have just waited to come down. They had no food or water. At about 10 am, people began to arrive at the golf course. The scene was surreal. This situation continued throughout the day, until the evening, the refugees have decided to surrender and fell from the fence. Although it took the Spanish side were still reported in Morocco and from there they were immediately returned to Algeria. http://www.vice.com/it/read/intervista-tanja-boukal-confine-spagna-marocco-melilla-immigrazione-830 ---------------------- ꕤ ---------------------- COMMENT Yes, they're people hanging off that fence, surrounding the tranquil golf course. Clearly, I'm not a humanitarian.  Scenes like this don't stir anything remotely resembling selflessness in me.  Quite the opposite.  The entry points to Europe are Italy and a Spanish territory in Morocco.   Whose dumb idea was it to include this African territory as part of the Schengen no-borders really crap idea agreement? Those that managed to get to the Spanish side were reported as being in Morocco and immediately returned to Algeria.   Well, that makes perfect sense.  It's what anyone rational would do. Italy's Matteo Salvin, politician/journalist who's lobbying against illegal immigration, wishing that the rest of Europe would somehow be convinced to become a new home to Africa isn't facing reality or addressing the Italian end of the problem:  ie Italy allowing their borders to be violated, when they're not doing at-sea collections of illegal immigrants. The EU needs to be dissolved, the Schengen Agreement should be cancelled pronto, border checks need to be instituted, the refugee convention should be nullified at once, martial law needs to be declared in Europe, and anything that illegally enters European waters or steps illegally onto European soil should become an immediate military target.  Take a look at the sobering statistics now and never mind the astronomical projections.  Anyone that cannot see the need for firm action is soft in the head.  Anarchists, lefties, Christians, and humanitarians are all completely insane. Of course, nothing will be addressed rationally by the softc*ck European puppet states.  So sit back and watch Europe implode -- until maybe the next world war or something, which can't be too far off now.  Either that, or we're watching the apocalyptic end of Western civilisation. ꕤ
