5 "Britons" held in Guantanamo

[Old Greg]

If there is zero evidence yes, but you cannot just assume that because Gitmo was unjust generally due to lack of proper reviews that every case is therefore baseless. The evidence for each case should be properly assessed by the British authorities before any decision on resumed residence is made.

Once more - if there is evidence let him be charged and tried.

[SallyAnne]

You are correct. None are British in any way and should never have been allowed to set foot on our soil.

As far as I am aware they were refugees, asylum seekers. Were they not happy with the refuge or asylum they were being offered? Did they feel the need to wander around dangerous countries seeking safer accomodation?

Ah, glad to see you have woken from your cider induced slumber.

Ah, the life of a DSS scrounger.

I find Perry, ASDAs own better value. Are you really glad, will you be my friend?

If I'm your friend, how come you never invited me to your recent garden party?

My friends are not that desirable being all sorts of half-wits and trailer trash. Besides the launderette was full.

I find this xenophobia hard to swallow.

My take on things is that if somebody is willing to make a contribution to the common good (ie work hard and obey the law) whilst in this country, they are welcome to be here regardless of their country of origin.

If somebody is unwilling to make a contribution to the common good whilst in this country, I couldn't care less for their presence and would prefer them to leave sooner rather than later.

Why the hatred? We're all people and none of us have the right to claim the land on which we exist for our exclusive use.

erm because they went to fight our troops as they are allied to their religion and not the countries that allows them all the benefits of refuge here.

[fzbucks]

Communist?

You're the one implying that the current slow degradation towards state dependency for all within the UK is a good thing. I'd like to see a free market that would draw the best of the talent from around the world and push out the wasters.

Naive? Yes.
Idealistic? Absolutely.

But far from Communist.

but the current model you seem to have an affinity for doesn't push out the wasters it brings them in.

our troops in Gambia? Must have missed that deployment.

And as for the others, nobody is saying that they shouldn't be tried if there's evidence against them, just that they are entitled to a trial and defence to determine whether they are guilty.
