UKBA arrest 2,800 in past year re E-Borders

"Suspects linked to hundreds of crimes have been captured after the UK Border Agency's e-Borders monitoring system successfully targeted wanted criminals trying to cross the UK border.
In 2010/11, e-Borders alerts led to 2,800 arrests after the details of 126 million passengers were checked against 'watchlists' of suspects wanted by the UK Border Agency, police, SOCA and HM Revenue & Customs.
Currently the e-Borders system checks 90 per cent of flights from outside the EU, and up to 60 per cent of those from within the EU, to combat terrorist threats, spot organised criminals, stop immigration abuse and catch fugitives from justice.
In the last year, the e-Borders system flagged suspects wanted in connection with a number of serious crimes and resulted in the arrest of people wanted in connection with 18 murders, 27 rapes, 29 sex offences, and 25 violent crimes." ... more here

Oh how very impressive .... 2,800 arrests and they come up with "wanted in connection with 18 murders, 27 rapes, 29 sex offences, and 25 violent crimes"  .... mmmm, no terrorists then? ... which if you remember was the reason of this E-Borders! You forgot? of course you did, that was the intention as it isn't anything to do with terrorism and never was.

Er, sorry for being pedantic but what about the other 2,701?  What were their "crimes"?  l say "crimes" because nowhere is there any list of actual convictions. These are all "suspects", "wanted in connection with", blah blah and that includes the afore mentioned 99!

Hold on though, UKBA have already decided your guilt. You are no longer a "suspect" because they lead with the headline:-

E-Borders captures 2,800 criminals at the border

 Silly me, l thought that was for the courts to decide. Wonder what the other other 2,701 criminals have done? .... allegedly missed CSA payments?, parking fines? dropped a cigarette butt?, wheelybin violations? not filled in the Census? smoked in a company vehicle? or some other violation of the never ending regulations being put on the statute books?

Wonder how many of these criminals are foreign nationals? Don't bother looking it up because we all know that virtually everyone of these criminals will be British. 

Just realised ... me and Zaphod are probably included in the 2,800!  I'd forgot about this 

Got to go now, l think armed police are surrounding the house! :)
