He was first held by police two weeks ago but freed.

Refugee foster boy. If this is true some people should have very red faces don't you think?

[Spicerack]

The Marr Show completely ignored this story....and they had the rudderless Home Secretary on.
Gone very quiet on AB as well.
Will no-one stand up for the 'child' refugees?

Only just seen this news ... Interesting thread, I surprised it is a slow mover.

[anneasquith]

I agree zebo. ( I would not have 6/9 months ago .)

Heard on the Andrew Marr show this morning that the foster parents had always taken the most difficult children, the hard to place. Some are saying they shouldn't be doing it at their age but I bet they have been invaluable to Social Services and are probably desperately still needed. Fosterers don't want the most difficult ones usually, as my daughter knows.
I see a second person has been arrested from the Hounslow area. Good.

[NoMercy]

Has anyone tweeted Gary Linekar and Silly Lily?

[anneasquith]

I'll bet they have been invaluable to SS, but at some time agencies must realise an 18 year old refugee ( with problems) is placed in a more suitable home.

No wonder Trump was critical of Scotland Yard, particularly if American Intelligence had warned them of the suspicion of him being a terrorist.
I have no evidence for this ....just wondering.

[anotheoldgit]

No one in authority has yet stepped up to the oche with those oh so reassuring words "Lessons will be learned".

[ladybirder]

Yes, Amber Rudd was not happy about that on A Marr this morning.

[anneasquith]

Amber Rudd, is not fit for purpose, IMO

[fiction-factory]

I only skimmed through the Mail article and didn't see any reference to what his previous arrest was for. If he had been on a watch list as a suspected terrorist there will be some very red faces. If the recent arrest was for terrorism related offences then again there should be serious questions asked. If it was for something unrelated like shoplifting then I'm not sure where Trump info comes from and whether tehre should be any red faces.
The placing with this couple of any 18 year old migrant certainly seems inappropriate.

AOG, Mrs May said it on the day of the attack
'As Mrs May said, we must never waver in the face of terrorism. But we must always learn lessons after each incident to reduce the threat it poses'

If only this news had come out on another day.
Most of the resident experts will be having their well earned lie in and may even have alternative plans for the afternoon and evening.

It would seem that all of our AB resident liberal thinkers are having a lie in this morning.

[ladybirder]

Yep. Eyes tightly shut.

[anneasquith]

Not all of us .

[Mamyalynne]

Send out some FAOs if you need certain posters.

Yesterday was a particularly quiet day on here in all topics.

[ladybirder]

Perhaps I'm imagining it but every day seems quieter on here lately. Mind you the sun is shining so I'll be off myself for a while with the dog.
