deliberate signatures and agreements of the local elected Government. A method where assistance could be garnered by using the flood gate to hide and to assist in varied ways corruption and wrongdoings. BVIwas literally a crimefree haven. The UK built prison, for the confinementof the newly has long been overcrowded, 99% of the crime and prison occupancy is by immigrants from the previously mentioned places and their spawns.It will be interesting to read Sowande's announced proposal to stem the rot. Unless it entails deportations, visa restrictions then it is all froth. The UK proposals for emergency actions have been rejected and shelved by Sowande et al, so what mamaguy empty bovine crap attempting to pacify the public is a "must listen" for entertainment and confirmation of disgust.
Do you mean people are finally going to tell the police when they know something about a crime.
We could finally solve the crime where the little girl was shot dead along with lots of other hideous crimes that people have information about.
Such a shame with have this tradition in the first place.
