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

At least 14% of the “child refugees” arriving in Britain were adults

Apr 10, 2018 10:47 am By Robert Spencer

“The Home Office received 2,952 asylum applications from unaccompanied children in the year up to June 2017. Officials believed applicant were lying about their age in 705 of those cases, with 402 (65%) found to be adults.”

That’s nearly 14%, which is a bit more than the “1 in 8” Yahoo News UK headline.

“The asylum seeker must be ‘afforded the benefit of the doubt and treated as children’ unless they appear ‘significantly’ over 18.”

In reality, the UK Home Office has been endlessly credulous regarding these “asylum seekers,” according them every benefit of the doubt indeed while ruthlessly persecuting those who are standing against the Islamization that these migrants herald.

“Asylum seekers” at a Home Office immigration centre in Croydon. Why are these men covering their faces? Do they not want to be recognized for some reason?

“At least 1 in 8 ‘child refugees’ arriving in Britain were adults,” by Andy Wells, Yahoo News UK, April 9, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A new report has found that at least one in eight refugees who claimed to be children arriving in the UK were in fact adults.

Some 65% of asylum seekers who were assessed after claiming to be children were judged to be over 18, according to the report by immigration watchdog David Bolt.

The Home Office received 2,952 asylum applications from unaccompanied children in the year up to June 2017.

Officials believed applicant were lying about their age in 705 of those cases, with 402 (65%) found to be adults.

The report states:

Home Office data indicated that between 1 July 2016 and 30 June 2017 it had received 2,952
applications for asylum from unaccompanied children. In the same period, it had raised 705 age
disputes, roughly 1 in 4. Of the 705, 618 had been resolved. In 216 (35%) of these 618 cases, the
Local Authority assessed the claimant to be under 18, and in 402 (65%) cases they were assessed
to be over 18 (an adult). Compared with the previous 12 months, the percentage of disputes
raised was down (from c.30%) as was the percentage (32%) found to be children.

That means nearly 14 per cent of all applicants were deemed to be under-18….

Home Office screening officers are told to judge a child based on their ‘physical appearance and demeanour’ if they do not have a birth certificate or travel documents.

The asylum seeker must be ‘afforded the benefit of the doubt and treated as children’ unless they appear ‘significantly’ over 18.

    Who at the top of this TRAVESTY is RESPONSIBLE? They should find the decision-makers who KNEW and who APPROVED the acceptance of UNQUALIFIED immigrants.

    Then, that person should be CHARGED with MALICIOUS, INTENTIONAL NEGLIGENCE.

    To knowingly bring in illegal immigrants is PROFESSIONAL MALPRACTICE. The severest penalties should be applied to those responsible.

        Hang on, Tommy, Sadiq Khan is a ‘Londoner’, born and bred! He says so! His old man drove buses for London Transport when he got off the boat from Pakistan – and that makes him as British as you and me, of course! But what a shame that there were all those bus-driving jobs going in the 1950’s because a lot of the suitable Londoners of the time (whose families had been around the place just a little bit longer than Khan’s) had been taken care of by Herr Hitler and chums. Now, what would happen if Nazi Germany suddenly resurrected and we’d need all those Union Jack-waving cousins of our noble Mayor to go up there in their latter-day Spitfires over the white cliffs of Dover, fighting for Queen and Country! Where would we get our next lot of bus drivers – and future London Mayors – from?

      Apparently some dentists who were approached by certain authorities refused to do dental checks to verify some of these ‘children’s’ ages. Now, I wonder to myself if the authorities in question somehow knew in advance that these dentists wouldn’t co-operate, maybe with a bit of ‘official persuasion’, so that they could turn round to the media and ‘honestly’ plead ignorance. So we’re all convinced – not.

      May caved in to France’s demands that we take some in, and shower the Calais area with money to improve the perimeter near the illegal camps. She and many of her cronies knew damn well most were adults – people like you and I cried ‘foul’, whilst Leftard UK Celebs like Gary Lineker and Lily Allen called us racists. When they erected screening boards at the Croydon Welcoming Centre, they were so blatantly trying to hide the truth from us. Yep, they were all mostly adults.

    Mortimer, in the US, negligence is usually “accidental”. When the conduct graduates toward “intentional” it is usually called “gross negligence” or “wanton” or “malicious”. I have made the argument that “universal malice” exists when someone engages in obviously dangerous conduct with complete indifference to the safety or danger of others, likewise, indifferent to whomever is injured or killed. This argument is frequently used to increase manslaughter charges to murder. I think your argument is on the right track, but could benefit by some tuning.

    I do suggest that bringing in people to whom lies are fulfilling their basic religious teachings without full confirmation of the otherwise assumed facts is more than “professional malpractice”, which is not a crime, and is in fact a betrayal of official duties to the government, “corruption in office or dereliction of duty”, and treason to the society (the “subjects”). [“An armed person is a citizen. An unarmed person is a subject.” Source unknown.]. Respect and best wishes.

      Thanks, Frank. I’m no lawyer, and don’t know the right jargon, but I get the idea that someone is NOT using the ordinary level of care that a person of average intelligence would use. Moreover, the DECISION-MAKERS are telling the schlubs on the front line to TURN A BLIND EYE. THAT is surely INTENTIONAL AND MALICIOUS.

      The TRAITOR CLASS is turning the ship DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE ICEBERG !!! And they are ARRESTING the people who have BINOCULARS and are shouting for the captain to change course!!!

        Mortimer, with the exception of a single issue that I do not understand, and which I will simply ignore until such time as I do understand, you and I generally agree. We and all who join in the effort are taking that “first step” or “lighting that first candle in a dark place” to get things moving in our favor toward liberty. Alerting people, not just to carelessness, ignorance and inattention, but to deliberate, intentional, harmful actions against our society and liberties may help assemble the numbers needed for victory of light over darkness. To the goal of worldwide liberty.

          Apr 10, 2018 at 6:32 pm

          Frank & Mortimer, I totally agree with both of you but there is one aspect of negligence by politicians that has been overlooked; that is they are never brought to justice to pay for their misdeeds and incompetency. This is endemic throughout the West, whether it be on the Canada/American side of the Atlantic or Britain and the subjugated EU nations. I have not ever seen even one fired much less made to pay for his willful neglect of the citizens he is supposed to protect. Part of this problem is we, the citizens, have refused to stand up to these politicians/civil servants and force them out.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Apr 10, 2018 at 7:28 pm

          Mr. Jarman, they are *IMMUNE* BY THEIR OWN RULES from any civil action. The only possible legal action is criminal, with corrupt courts and governments in charge of the proceeding. Look at the “trial” following the burning of the Reichstag and the following total elimination of any excuse of justice as shown by the mock trials of those accused in the July 1944 assassination attempt on Hitler. It will take a complete change of law and administration to relieve the disaster currently in progress. Please check my thoughts by reviewing Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for those 2 episodes. We are repeating history because history is not remembered by most. “Those who cannot remember the lessons of the past. . .” Jorge Santayana, The Life of Reason (1905).

          Frank, You are correct and another quote from the past that is very applicable today, “The History of the World begins with its general aim–the realization of the Idea of Spirit–only in an implicit form that is, as Nature, a hidden unconscious instinct; and the whole process of History is directed to rendering this unconscious impulse a conscious one.” Fredrick Hegel.

      Mr. Bull, please accept my praise for your “Let us do something. . .” I have spent most of my life in the company of people who wanted something done; but always without their being involved. Lone wolves, like me, have a really hard time with motivating change. I hope others listen and do what they can to save our liberty.

    …………………..

    Actually, that’s *65%*, as the article makes clear. This should not surprise–in Scandinavian countries, the figure is around 85%.

    “Physical appearance and demeanour”.

    From a cursory glance at a clothed human?

    No, that should not b

    They should be examined by non-Muslim dentists who have forensic experience; who can tell the approximate age of a skeleton by the state of the *teeth*.

    They should get a full physical from non-Muslim medics who specialise in pediatric and adolescent health, and *know* the difference between a child (prepubescent), an adolescent, and an *adult*. Look for pubic hair, underarm hair and *beards* (detention with NO access to shaving or plucking implements for a week would soon sort out the men from the boys!). One may note that it is sunnah for Muslim men to remove all body hair *except* the beard and head-hair, every forty days.

    And an X-ray to check their *long bones*. There is a difference between the bones of an adult and a child or adolescent. Adult bone mass is not achieved until around age 18; most adolescent males stop growing around 18. So you should be able to sort out the 18-and-upwards from the under-18s. Note – this is probably why so *many* of these so-called ‘unaccompanied minors’ claim to be *17*… it’s the closest they dare to get to what they know is the legal ‘cut-off point’.
