#1 I wonder if they were members of Lashkar-e-Taiba?

#2 I can understand Spain bringing in North Africans to do work. There is a sentimental attachment and history there. But why on earth would Spain admit Pakistanis?

#3 Desperation. IINM, Spaniards have the lowest birthrate in Europe now. Which is saying a lot.

#5 Phil
That rule is now in effect? A Pakistani is admitted to Great Britain and can now travel and live anywhere in the EU? I thought this was not EU law yet.

#6 Solution: stop all Pakistanis entering Britain and encourage those here to leave .

#7 I am trying to figure out how any nation can accept what are unskilled, uneducated 3rd world folk and expect goood things to come of that. My own nation included. Send them back where they came from. That the EU and UN have rules against this just boggle the mind. These people are not political refugees.

#8 I make my unapologetically rabid statement in light of our government's policy to Nigerians entering Britain. The BBC fail to mention that there are now an estimated 1 million nigerians living in London alone - 1/9th of the capital's population. How can we possibly keep an eye on everyone? It certainly hampers our ability to control AQ.
