I couldn't find a thread on this breaking news. How awful for everyone involved.

I thought it was the farmer who did that on a watsapp.

Even more embarrassing if they had been watching actual terrorists, only to assume that this arrest was them caught red handed, and it turns out it wasn't them but a bunch of small time thieves. So the actual terrorists have now been tipped off that they've been under surveillance and need to call off their plan. Phew. Close call. Well done Trump. 🤔

Maybe the interviews will make it onto 24 hours in Police Custody.

How long does it take to train a doctor - GP, resident, registrar, consultant?

Roughly 7 to 10 years.

I can’t explain a dismissive comment when I didn’t make one.

Two things can be held in my head at once the bigger picture and the individual case - I did a broad overview of humans being good/bad and generic comment that asylum seekers too will be the same. At the extremes some will save lives and fewer will murder.

In the specific case of Rhiannon Whyte I have consistently said it’s despicable.

I bet the diesel stealers mates are taking the absolute piss out of them.

She did but there was a high alert just before it happened.

I think this poor lady farmer is now a legitimate target for the British state eager to cover up to target her as someone unstable and a target for Islamists. In future, anyone who sees anything suspicious should keep quiet.

She did it after the high alert.

Oh yes please make this happen 🙏

I have said over and over this murder is despicable. However that does not equal all asylum seekers are despicable.

It certainly does not mean - as this thread pushed it to - that only a specified type of British is acceptable in the U.K. because of this horrific action.

We can debate whether our NEETs should be at medical school but the fact is the NHS would collapse without migration.

This is potentially millions of people. There are 20 million Afghan women. Women can be terrorists too, as has been seen in Israel and India.

Moreover, through family reunion after asylum is granted, a person can bring in family members. Recently a Palestinian woman granted asylum in the UK was allowed to bring in 18 (yes 18) family members. How the lawyers who got that through must have laughed, they hit the jackpot on that one.

We can help people far better through our foreign aid budget. Bringing in thousands of people from places like Afghanistan and Palestine when our resources are already so stretched is a recipe for civil unrest.

I couldn't believe it when they said the men were on bail. As if. Five maybe terrorists let out. No way. I think this. It was a mock up military exercise then a member of the public (the farmer) saw it and reported a suspicious event

If they were diesel thieves, I cannot believe that she will have anything to worry about.

It's quite possible to alert the emergency services about suspicious activity without giving interviews to every media channel under the sun.

I’m always annoyed at debating from a false starting point - for clear debate the facts should be just that facts.

It is a fact Rhiannon was murdered in a horrific manner - it is a fact an asylum seeker murdered her - it is not a fact that all asylum seekers are murderers.

Idk what you want me to say - I’ve told the thread several times this murder was abhorrent - that is my view. My view is also that this does not mean stop all asylum seekers.

You’re reminding me of right wing auditors I see at protests just trying to push a button for clicks - you’re not getting paid here though so what are you pushing for?

Go on the threads about cutting welfare and disability benefits for British citizens, including those with the right to remain etc and tell them they are abhorrent. Unless women have a career, stable housing and picked the father of their baby correctly, then they are slagged off to death and told they shouldn't be having babies and that's before we get to SAHMs. Why everywhere else in the world can people not opt for contraception and be brought over, housed and given money etc? We don't have enough resources. We brought in a punitive benefit system, which put British children in poverty and cut our family sizes. Children are suffering because of unstable housing. How is it fair to the lower waged people to bring people in and set them up?

No the name and logo do differ.

Because they were racially profiled and assumed to be terrorists because they 'looked Middle Eastern'? I can see why that would be hilarious alright.

Yay another conspiracy theory to the list!

Who would you vote for

it always feels that people on here are very labour lovers 😂

and if you say anything else you get torn down

The issue is the system is lax about risk and someone often pays for that. It’s allowing entry without safeguarding here, but also chaos on the way for people trying.

Congratulations on managing to weave institutional systemic racism into this event.

How about their skin colour had nothing to do with it (especially as they were allegedly wearing balaclavas) and it had everything to do with parking three transit vans 300 metres from a major heavily protected airbase whereupon they decided to transfer the stolen fuel between the vehicles, all in the middle of the night.
