RT? 50% chance of it being untrue. 99% chance of it being spun. And 100% chance of it being irrelevant, since the UK isn't part of the the intelligence sharing that is a component of Schengen.

Iceland and Malta are both island nations of Schengen.

The Swiss voted to join Schengen, largely because they were swayed be the security arguments of increased intelligence sharing.

Even if they abolished Schengen surely it would not be hard to get across most borders in the EU by avoiding official routes? Most don't have fences yet.

Yep.

There is some travel guy who is rolled out every time there is a travel incident and this is the point he makes every single time.

And while it's hard to go across mountains in winter it's not in summer.

That's cos she knew most of them were middle class. Only the uneducated and unskilled wanted to come to the UK.

And both groups speak English....

What complete and utter rubbish

This is the mail so must be wrong. All migrants will happily work real hard for minimum wage - we are continually being told this by remainers so must be true.

On the other hand that means there are now 1million jihadis with nothing to do sat slap bang in the middle of Europe.

What could possibly go wrong?

Yes, but not to Article 96 data which is specifically relevant here.

1. Data relating to aliens who are reported for the purposes of being refused entry shall be included on the basis of a national report resulting from decisions taken, in compliance with the rules of procedure laid down by national legislation, by the administrative authorities or courts responsible.

2. Decisions may be based on a threat to public order or national security and safety which the presence of an alien in national territory may pose.

Such may in particular be the case with:

(a) an alien who has been convicted of an offence carrying a custodial sentence of at least one year;

(b) an alien who, there are serious grounds for believing, has committed serious offences, including those referred to in Article 71, or against whom there is genuine evidence of an intention to commit such offences in the territory of a Contracting Party.

3. Decisions may also be based on the fact that the alien has been the subject of a deportation, removal or expulsion measure which has not been rescinded or suspended, including or accompanied by a prohibition on entry or, where appropriate, residence, based on non-compliance with national regulations on the entry or residence of aliens.
