    It is important. Maybe MPs could discuss something more important. Like how they are going to grow a pair and tell HMRC to fook off. And how they are going to promote the UK computing industry which is continually under attack and needs some TLC.

    They could also ban retrospective legislation. Retrospectively....

        ITV news were reporting about an incriminating facebook account linked to these guys. Obligatory mail hysteria here.

        The guy was quite vocal about it all yesterday. He'd applied for a permit to visit before booking the flights so there's some sympathy on that point, but I expect they (the yanks) would do another check on the names of passengers who are ready to board flights to the US, hence people being turfed off planes etc. Given the inability of people to not post incriminating tulip on facebook/twitter every 5 minutes, I reckon that's a decent policy.

        Can't help thinking they've shot themselves in the foot here.

            The fact that the US didn't bother reporting the 19 year old "kid" to the UK intelligence which is a worry.

            There have been warnings before not to post jokes about terrorism or anything else on social media. The warnings have been mostly targeted at those under 25.

            However US there have been mistakes and getting those mistakes rectified is a problem if they don't tell you what you have been accused of.

                Dont shoot the messenger here, as it usually happens in General.
                Probably so one of the grown up men stays married.

                I know a few people (OK I'm related to some of them) who go on holiday without their partner but with the kids. Instead they go with a sibling or two and their kids. This is because the partner doesn't like the type of holidays they do, though in all cases it initially started with the excuse "I cannot get time of work".....

                  I have no idea.

                  Then again UK immigration operate in France and Belgium.

                    Not often I say anything in support of the cheese eating surrender monkeys. But I hope they deport them.

                      I thought the men were Muslims so had nothing to fear from divorce?
