Steal an airliner, get a Council house...

[max_tranmere]

Do you remember the Stansted hijackers a few years ago? Took over a plane that was bound for Britain, the plane was diverted to Stansted airport which is where the hijacker negotiating unit is apparently based, and they held the passengers at gunpoint for several days before giving themselves up. They immediately claimed asylum and are still here today. As The Sun newspaper said sometime later "steal an airliner, get a council house". Along with Benefits, healthcare, free education for any kids you may have, legal aid and so on. All Britain asks in return is that you hate our guts and be antagonistic to everything we are about and you can stay forever.

The reason I post this today is because it is happening again, this very afternoon. RAF fighter jets were scambled a couple of hours ago to escort an airliner heading from Pakistan to Britain which was being diverted to Stansted. The plane is currently on the tarmac and a stand-off is currently happening between the highjackers and the authorities. This will go on for a while, the bad guys will give themselves up, no doubt claim asylum, and live here forever more - with money, protection, housing, the lot. This is Britain in the modern era. Don't you just love it?

"We (c)ant very well have terrorists beging for money on the streets"

You should walk along Edgware Road mate. People shaking tins asking passers-by for cash, huge banners emblazoned across derelict shops pushing for something or other (I can't understand it as the huge letters are in Arabic), people with tables and forms on them asking for you to sign up for this or that - what, I do not know, the geezer with the huge beard wearing a large bedsheet and sandals doesn't speak English and all the forms are in swiggly writing. People with one leg and a hand out asking for money. Women sitting crossed-legged on the pavement, dressed like Jawa's from Star Wars, with their heads permanently looking at the pavement, and with a hand extended asking for cash. All the writing on the signs in the local hospital, St Mary's, are all bi-lingual so all the locals can read them. I'm surprised it is even written in English at all, why not just have everything in Arabic. But don't forget boys and girls, all these things are good and great to have because it's all part of "the rich, multicultural society", the "wonderful rainbow nation" and it shows how "diverse" we are as a people. Tony Blair lives nearby, someone should go and shoot that bastard for what he has done.

Mate of mine worked at Stansted when this was going on. They surrended just before the plane was about to be stormed. Nowt wrong with terrorists than 9mm hollow point can't sort.
