Thousands of foreign criminals could be entering the UK undetected. British law enforcement bodies make only a handful of checks on the criminal backgrounds of foreigners. The police make just twenty requests each day to Interpol for details about non-EU criminals, this compares with more than 20.000 a day by the French.
An 11.000 strong list of terrorist suspects held by Interpol was hardly used, the UK Border Agency did not have a link to Interpol's lost and stolen documents data-base. France makes more than seven million checks a year. Sometimes I get the feeling that the UK is being run by a bunch of jerks, going round and round in circles, and getting nowhere. As for the nations border security, forget it.
