#1 As per DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS, circa 50 of these 250 "extermist tourists" are known hardliners whom are believed to be plotting another "7/7" in the UK.

The Pak forums should know as they are most likely involved as most extemist tourists are of a Pakistani origin.

#3 It would seem that the Brits don't have a law which prohibits citizens from fighting with foreign fighting groups (can't really call them armies). At one time the U.S. had a law whereby one could lose their citizenship for fighting with a foreign army although I think that law has been interpreted to mean one must also have intent to give up citizenship.

#4 I have found what I call an overt hostility to me as an Anglo-Saxon when I visit the local shops run by third world chaps, no names mentioned. They don't get off the phone, don't say thank-you and don't want to help except for when it comes to relieving me of money. Not surprising that 20% of Brits want an end to ALL immigration. What was that old saying about a rod and a back?
