border control euro style. as usual, brits on short end. needed, churchill/thatcher/marlbougough

Border? What border?  I don’t got to help you protect your stinkin border.

Instead of here we go again this might better be described as here we are still.  At least in the western states border patrol has a good idea of where and who. And, they can stop illegals. Provided they can catch em.  But this defies anything I’ve read on the subject so far.  Aside from all those dumb human rights issues the left loves so much.

Here’s a situation where;

British officials may now have to turn a blind eye to suspected illegal migrants.

OR FACE ARREST.  By foreign cops.

Read how and why. 

Eurostar loophole exposed: Illegal immigrants use ticket ruse to sneak into Britain
· Passengers buy a train ticket from Brussels to Lille but can stay on until London without passport checks
· Alarm first raised in 2001 but nothing was done about it
· UKBA’s Jonathan Sedgwick tells MPs it is ‘unsatisfactory’ but insists it is not a loophole

BELGIAN POLICE HAVE THREATENED TO ARREST BRITISH BORDER STAFF WHO STOP ILLEGAL MIGRANTS TAKING EUROSTAR TRAINS TO LONDON.

Dozens of migrants are thought to exploit the so-called ‘Lille Loophole’ every day.

They buy a Eurostar ticket from Brussels to Lille, allowing them to avoid the UK border checks in the Belgian capital.

And when the train stops in Lille they simply stay on board and carry on through the Channel Tunnel to London, where passports are rarely checked.
Internal border agency figures suggest use of the loophole has shot up in recent months.

The Belgian authorities insist Britain cannot interrogate Eurostar passengers with tickets to France because both countries are inside the European Union’s Schengen area of free movement.

UK officials were pulled up when they tried to stop two Iranian men said to ‘bear all the hallmarks of Lille loopholer

THE LILLE LOOPHOLE, HOW IT WORKS

Hiding under a Eurostar train is one way of getting into Britain – as is trying to sneak into the back of a lorry.
But both are dangerous and far from certain to succeed – unlike the ‘Lille loophole’.

Illegal migrants must first buy a ticket – often for as little as £23 –from Brussels in Belgium to Lille in France.

Crucially, this ticket allows them to bypass the British border controls at the Eurostar terminal in Brussels, which are designed for those with tickets to London.

Instead the migrants walk down the passport-free lane for Lille passengers – where only their ticket is checked.

When the train gets to Lille, they stay on board and complete the journey to London.

Some buy a second ticket covering the final leg of their trip so they do not fall foul of ticket inspectors.

Brussels police say stopping passengers with tickets to Lille, even those thought to be headed for London, breaches the Schengen agreement on free movement.

Schengen area of free movement.
Google that. Then imagine the same thing in the USA. Oh boy. I guess in one way we already have something like it. But it isn’t legal. Right?
This is what a borderless Eu means. If they have their way, and there isn’t any mistaking this, the unelected political pygmies that pull the strings, would like nothing better then to do away with individual national identities, along with the borders.  A united states of Europe, the national bank would be the Bundesbank with France and Germany running the whole show. 
At least with the Germans things might be well organized and French cooking really is good. I’m not a gourmet so don’t know if German beer can be swilled
with Coq au vin.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
