Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Former chief of UK Border Force says Britain admitted “child migrants” who “had a beard and were balding”

Dec 16, 2017 8:35 am By Robert Spencer

Why was the UK Home Office so eager to be fooled? Why were British officials so naive and credulous when it came to these bearded, balding Muslim migrants claiming to be children? Why were they so eager to admit them into the country? Did they want to prove to their growing and restive Muslim population that they were not “Islamophobic”? This useful idiocy stems from the same source as the Home Office’s ridiculous ban on Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, despite the manifest fact that we have never called for or approved of any violence against anyone. The Home Office is bent on creating a scenario in which Muslims are always and in every case innocent victims of “Islamophobia” and the “far-right,” and not ever purveyors of jihad mass murder. Unfortunately, reality has already intruded and is going to keep intruding upon this scenario.

“‘Child migrants Britain let in were BALDING and BEARDED’ – fresh claim,” by Giles Sheldrick, Express, December 14, 2017:

DOZENS of adult migrants posed as children to get into Britain, a former Border Force chief admitted last night.

After the Jungle refugee camp in Calais closed last year, 750 “vulnerable minors” were granted sanctuary in the UK as part of a deal struck with France. Concern was raised at the time that a number of them appeared to be over 18.

Tony Smith, former director-general of the UK Border Force, said: “I am not confident all the vulnerable minors brought over from Calais were children. In fact, I am confident some of them were not and were actually adult economic migrants posing as children.

“Some would have sworn on their mothers’ lives they were only 16 even though they had a beard and were balding.

“If they can get away with an age they will because minors are treated much more favourably than adults. If they can get away with claiming they are a nationality which is more favourable to getting asylum, like a Somali or Syrian, then why not claim that? There is a huge amount of deception in immigration.”

His comments heap further embarrassment on the Home Office which was criticised at the time for failing to check that those arriving were who they claimed to be.

Mr Smith said: “I have seen cases where blatantly grown adults have been treated as minors, but that’s not my decision, it’s put in the hands of an independent adjudicator.”…

      Robert Spencer has identified the ideological problem: 1) they want to prove to their growing and restive Muslim population that they were not “Islamophobic” 2) the UK Home Office so eager to be fooled.

        just a few of the words to describe the European, so called leaders???? ( would anyone in their right mind call a person a LEADER if that person is destroying their heritage??) who are taking their country down the path of destruction???? But I can’t over do it…We have some so called leaders who fit the pattern set by European so called leaders also.

      Knowingly admitting adults as children is betrayal of the public. It is probably also dereliction of duty.

        Dec 16, 2017 at 1:34 pm

        Yes, Michael, they knowingly let terrorist preachers into the UK to demonstrate how broad-minded and ‘diverse’ they are.

        They are making the UK less safe and less secure by bringing in large numbers of people who DESPISE EVERYTHING about British culture except for the PROSPERITY and dole.

        If there is NO FURTHER IMMIGRATION from Muslim countries, the Muslim percentage will be over 9% of UK in 2050!

    I did not understand ‘guilty’. I thought it was something that makes you free.”
    Somalian refugee pocketed £39k in benefits after secretly returning to his homeland because he ‘missed the sunshine’
    Mohamed Qoomaall forged an immigration stamp on his British passport and had pension credit payments sent to him for two-and-a-half years as a friend enjoyed rent-free living in his council-funded home.

    Isleworth Crown Court Judge Jonathan Ferris asked: “Why does he live here? Why is he entitled to benefits? What’s he doing here?
    “He’s just gone back there, how does that work? He came here as a refugee 15 years ago and then goes back to Somalia to enjoy the nice weather.”
    “What ties does he have in this country apart from the benefits system.”

    In a desperate attempt to avoid jail Qoomaal applied to change his plea to not guilty, resulting in several more costly court hearings.
    He claimed: “I was in the country, I was paying bills. I’m not lying. It’s not an illusion, it’s not a made-up story.
    “At the DWP the Somalian interpreter was not in my dialect. I did not understand and they were not saying what I was saying.
    “The lawyer pressured me to plead guilty and I did not understand ‘guilty’. I thought it was something that makes you free.”

    “Did they want to prove to their growing and restive Muslim population that they were not “Islamophobic”?”

    No. This has nothing to do with appeasing British Muslims. All that motivates these politicians is the fear of being tarred with the “racist” brush by their own Leftist co-ideologues, and dread of the social ostracism and career destruction that would surely follow. So they will support outrageous and destructive social policies, betray their countrymen and eliminate their 2,000 year old culture and civilization, all for the most base and venal of motives.

      The politicians shouldn’t fear being branded a “racist” and having their lives ruined. What the politicians should fear is being dragged to the town square by the British people and having their lives ended.

        The “batikhäxa” part of the “multi culture” “politically correct”, “feminism”, “common purpose”, etc. have the power, having swept through all the institutions of education, judicary, media, etc.

        They seemed to have won the hearts and control the thinking of many of the “young generation”.
        How to wake them up? Tommy Robinson, Pat Condell, Pegida, Trump, etc. and of course where you can chip away.

        It does seem to be a close run race at this stage, to whether and how they can be effective, as time seems to be running out.

        ” You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life”

    Bat Ye’or has explained much of this fixation of economics and immigration in Europe with policies made for “Eurabia” to develop, opening borders and bridging the nations of the Mediterranean together, except that it has become a one way street — in toward Europe….

    batikhäxa that bring the child/adult into Sweden,

    Another level of crass stupidity and selfishness, that is difficult to believe. ! !

    WARNING Some language is very expressive and crude with some cuss words.

    “”Refugee “Children” & The Women Who Sexually Exploit Them”” by “Angry Foreigner”

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sass4jgyEUY&t=1032s

    31 minutes 09 seconds

    A summation.

    In some countries it has become normal, and that the age of “unaccompanied children” with cries of “what about the children?”,

    This has been going on for 5 years, but so it continues, particularly in SWEDEN

    The deception and lies, that are woven as power is used to not only abuse people and the “children” but end up abusing their own people.

    First 4 minutes 30 secs facts and data about so called children’s ages when many were really older than 18.

    5 minutes on then the effect on all of Swedish society, young school age, pensioners, and handicapped.

    Then some of the perverseness starts to become apparent from

    5 m 30 secs which shows as “psychosis of political correctness” and the effects of putting “white guilt over commonsense”

    8 m then he shows the costs, and why some make profits from refugees, and comparisons to other forms of giving foreign aid.

    10 m showing the cost of immigration to Sweden and they cut foreign aid

    11 m the “”underage children”” benefit greatly in the Swedish justice system. and to accept “cultural actions” because”cultures are equal” and of course the Dr’s debate ethics of judging the age of these people.

    12m 40 sec then it becomes a “lawyers goldmine” not “humanitarianism but profit”

    13m 30 government feminism defends the system

    14m 25 “batikhäxa” the explanation and then their power with in feminism.

    17m 10-18m warning very expressive and crude

    19 m protests about deporting

    20m 14 – 21m 22 strong expression and h

    22m 30 so many more cases

    23m 12 – a notorious profitable case but the media reasoning is amazing !

    28m 24 -30 Celebrating a rapist murder; that victims are men?. Is this is what Feminism has come too? A tribute, Would you do it forAnders Brevick or Ted Bundy?

    28m 37 Then the reverse, if it was many underage girls, showing the double standard of feminism and media.

    29m 25 #activists, is the call, not that it really is perverts

    29m 34 A suggested solution to the refugee problem

    It is a pity that some language is a bit strong and expressive, even though I understand his frustration, seeing this happen in Sweden for at least the past 5 years and more.

    The damage being done to the public is at the moment well hidden.
    The credibility of the government is, if the public wake up to what they are ok with, will have major ramifications either way. !

    • simpleton1 says

      Dec 16, 2017 at 2:54 pm

      In a way, the “batikhäxa” seem to be another level of concern, as “common purpose” which Pat Condell speaks so well about.

    Secrecy is so important, in these no morals excuses of social helpers, if perverting young underage boys, then if older you can still get them in by saying they are child refugees.

    The revelations have caused a furious row on Facebook, with some volunteers claiming the allegations should have remained secret and criticised the whistle blower for expressing his concerns.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3802351/Calais-aid-workers-regularly-having-SEX-migrants-Jungle-camp-FEMALE-charity-helpers-likely-sleep-refugee.html

    It would seem that it could save some of these helpers crossing the channel. They could even keep some of these “toy boys” in their own house as the “batikhäxa” can do in Sweden.

    Former chief of UK Border Force says Britain admitted “child migrants” who “had a beard and were balding”
    ………………

    And this is not just happening in Britain, but in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Germany, as well–and likely in other parts of Europe, as well.

    And it is not a rarity–studies in Scandinavian countries have shown that “unaccompanied minors” are full adults in *over 85% of cases* investigated.

    • Anne Smith says

      Dec 17, 2017 at 6:04 am

      Th officials knew full well that these were not children and erected screens to prevent the media from taking pictures of them on the coaches which brought them in.

      The local Councils are now having to try to place these fake “children” in state schools – God help the poor girls who are in their classes. However that will not be the concern of the authorities – remember Rotherham?

    “Dr’s debate ethics of judging the age of these people.” as shown in the link above about the “batikhäxa” in Sweden.
    So the sweep through the institutions include health, as Dr’s do not want to be part of judging, or also calling out fgm or reluctant to diagnose rape.

    PS on checking the link, it works, but seems to start the video at an obnoxious point.To really get the context, start it at the beginning, and then if you wish skip the “17m 10-18m warning very expressive and crude”

    Saying the same thing as others, but different wording:
    So, it is Islamophobic to disbelieve a bearded, balding man who claims to be 16 years old.

    Is there NO background checking of “refugees” being admitted to the UK? This is utterly incredible. This is national suicide perpetrated by the immigration “authorities.”

    On the other hand, when Obama was president the USA was essentially doing the same thing. All I can say is Donald Trump seems to be saving the USA from invasion, both on the southern border, and from Islam.

    Dec 17, 2017 at 10:25 pm

    According to so many journalistic sources, circa 75 percent of these economic parasites were over 21.
