FUGITIVE CENTRAL...
Saturday, June 27, 2009 at 09:20AM I was reading about the arrest of a Hungarian man wanted for the brutal rape of a FOUR year old girl in a small Hungarian town. He was found working at a fun-fair in Milton Keynes. This raises the question as to why Britain is such a magnet for on the run criminals.
In the year to April, Britain received more than 3,500 requests from foreign countries for the return of their criminals. More than 150 were suspected or convicted murderers. The astonishing total was up by 25% on the previous 12 months. The vast majority of the 'wanted' suspects hailed from European Union countries. As Detective Chief Inspector Murray Duffin, of the Scotland Yard Extradition and Intelligence Unit, has warned: 'Britain is becoming a magnet for increasing numbers of criminals from the former Eastern bloc countries which are now members of the EU.'
Notably, the number of fugitives being sought by Poland has soared 14-fold since 2004, when the country joined the EU and its citizens were allowed to live in Britain. The Warsaw police now send a charter plane to Britain every month to pick up their countrymen wanted for killings, rape, robbery, burglary, drugs and theft. Last year, officers from the extradition unit returned 275 Poles accused of crimes back home.
Even the police chief of Albania - which is not an EU member - has warned that Britain has become the favourite sanctuary for fugitives. He recently claimed that the UK is harbouring 80 Albanian killers and 20 other serious offenders. Many have got British citizenship after deceiving our authorities and claiming asylum by pretending to be from war-torn Kosovo.
Here's a tip. When even ALBANIA recognises that Britain is fugitive central, things are very very wrong. It all boild down to the determination of this wicked government to strip away all forms of border protection and accept into this nation every form of low life so long as they are foreign.

The truly amazing revelation is that Milton Keynes has a funfair.
In these sterile, fun-free zones operated by the puritans within the 'Elf-an-Safety' culture prevalent in Britain today, I am more than surprised the fair has been allowed such existence!
Proof positive that not only has the EU removed our border controls, but that our PC PCs are seen by the criminal fraternity as the most useless in Europe.
Can we, who are opposed to such dangerous policies as open-borders, agree that the intent to allow criminality, disease, and generally the scum of the earth into our country is deliberate? To me, there is no doubt that it is given that the Establishment imposed the policy and, in the face of all evidence of its harm, the Establishment maintains the policy.
Allan,
I agree. Labour is the enemy within.
David, do think that Dave's Cons will improve things and, if so, how so? (Noting the revelations by Ken Clarke on Cameron's dissimulation on a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty)
Allan,
I suspect not. It seems that Peter Hitchins view that Lab/Cons/Libs are all the same - and therefore all worthless - is more and more my view too.

Those requests are for the more SERIOUS criminals who would be needed to clear up fraud, rape and murder etc., because their presence could be as witnesses, informants, or generally useful as leads to clear up unsolved crime.
To foreign governments, returning petty burglars, thieves and muggers would just be an additional expense to their own tax payers and are therefore better off living somewhere else.
Our own police force does the same with petty crooks living in Spanish resorts - 'better there than here' - so to speak, so I would suggest that the number of former eastern bloc criminals hiding in the UK is many times the 3,500 requests.
Even the police chief of Albania ... has warned that Britain has become the favourite sanctuary for fugitives. He recently claimed that the UK is harbouring 80 Albanian killers and 20 other serious offenders
Can't see the danger to the important people. Our lawmakers are protected by men with guns. All is good.
"He recently claimed that the UK is harbouring 80 Albanian killers"
Has he considered arresting them before they leave Albania?
I don't see why the UK gets blamed because he's no good at his job.
