This is not funny, this is a fact. "No, the UK can no longer access the European Criminal Records Information System (ECRIS). Following Brexit, the UK lost direct access to the secure EU-wide electronic system used for sharing conviction data. UK law enforcement and authorities now rely on slower, ad-hoc information sharing via Interpol or bilateral agreements."

It's almost as if the people negotiating agreements and treaties between Governments are incompetent.

Once the Brexit transition period ended the UK no longer had direct access to the European Criminal Records System.

Five magic blue beans enough for you ?

"Immigration officers have told the BBC that since the UK left the European Union, it has become more difficult to check criminal records from some other countries" " Since Brexit, the UK no longer has a data-sharing agreement with many countries in the EU, making it more difficult to check criminal and immigration records of asylum seekers, according to Lucy Moreton of the Immigration Services Union. "If we were able to share databases, even if just with our nearest neighbours, with Germany, with Belgium, with Holland and France, say - then, yes, we'd know that they had a conviction for people smuggling," she said. Asylum seekers are fingerprinted on arrival in the UK and checked against UK police databases, but these would not necessarily show a conviction from another country."

I think the issue is on-demand access to data as people are being processed. There are procedural routes for investigators but these involve form filling and submission to individual national forces rather than instantaneous results. The UK does not have access to the EU wide integrated Schengen Information System.

Another Brexit bonus ? Police and Border Force say they can't readily access criminal records on the other side of the channel....... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/clye9zn0y1ro "A convicted people smuggler, once described as "the godfather" of the French migrant camps, is living in Leicestershire and believed to be seeking asylum while working illegally, a BBC investigation can reveal. Twana Jamal was given a five-year jail sentence in France in 2016, where authorities described him as one of the most successful people smugglers ever caught. Prosecutors said the Iraqi Kurd, aged 36 at the time, had earned up to £100,000 a week for moving illegal immigrants across the Channel. Following a tip-off this year, we traced Jamal to the village of Blaby and witnessed him working, driving a car without a licence and apparently using a false name. Jamal's presence in the UK raises serious concerns about whether existing border controls are effective in checking asylum seekers who have committed serious crimes overseas." How can the BBC find these people but the authorities can't ?

Then again perhaps not..... https://taxjustice.net/2025/07/24/the-myth-busters-guide-to-the-millionaire-exodus-scare-story/

Until we are able to deport him, keep him in prison.

I think their selection process is openly black and white.

How many times has Yusuf failed to be selected for a Reform election shortlist ?

The ref in his previous job

TT said he had picked players for the system, not necessarily the best players.

It's a simple spelling mistake ; grift/graft, what's the difference ?

Amateurish small beer - Donnie made $1Bn from crypto.

60% of non-EU incomers are on student or work visas or are dependents of those people.

If those people most concerned about the net migration figure were to leave, the figure would come down.

In 2021 Donald Trump said cryptocurrency was a scam, in 2025 he made $1Bn from crypto. It sort of proves his point.

Read his Social Media feeds.

And now the SC rules aganst Donnie on Birthright Citizenship. Children born to undocumented immgrants are ruled to be US citizens.

Four SC decisions, three defeats for Trump; 1) The President has the power to remove "independent" commisioners on regulatory bodies. 2) Trump's appeal against his civil conviction for defamation was refused. 3) Trump's attempt to remove Lisa Cook fron the Board of the Federal Reserve was blocked. 4) Mail-in ballots received after polling day but post marked on or before that day must be counted, going against Trump's wishes to discard them.

There are many reasons; Some inherited wealth as descendants of invaders who seized land Some worked extremely hard Some invested and made the correct/lucky choices when playing the markets Some played close to illegality and fraud, but got away with it Some are simply bullshitting snake oil salesmen

Next you will be claiming that income Tax is unfair as somebody earning £50k pays more than somebody earning £25k.
