Another misleading post by the doomsayer of DIYnot.
Moral panic all over again, as usual.
12 of these men are on the run in this country for crimes committed in their own country. They fled here to avoid justice in their own country.
Scotland Yard also believes various other fugitives - who are alleged to have offended in such countries as Romania and Georgia - may now be living in Britain.
Some offenders may have entered the country legally before arrest warrants were issued.

Only 12 managed to enter this country, that's not bad, not good enough, but not bad. The border agencies need to do better.
No doubt they entered the UK on false documents, but that's an assumption. Alternatively they may have entered before a warrant was issue, therefore perfectly lgally.
Don't forget the presumption of innocence, until proven guilty. They are wanted for arrest. They have not been tried yet, therefore, are not yet considered criminals.
They're hardly likely to start libel proceedings against the DM, so the DM is on fairly safe ground there.
There is no question of them not being returned to the country that has issued the warrants for them. Perhaps jj ought to read the link before jumping to conclusions.
How many Brtish criminals are in other countries , e.g. Spain, fleeing from justice here? I don't know, but I'd guess there's more than 12.
If that's an indictment on our border agencies compared to other country's, well, I have no data to make a comparison.
When will you lot realise that doomsayers take a bit of news and draw everyone's attention to it, inferring some other catastrophic event will take place. You all jump on the bandwagon, drawn into this illusory conspiracy.
And before anyone starts banging on about immigration or migration, this has absolutely nothing to do with immigration.
Criminals have been fleeing justice by going from one country to another for millenia.
No doubt the doomsayer will be predicting an apocalyptic event this year:

Ooh, silly me, he already has:
It'll be worse than that mate. Rioting and looting will be rife.
It can't stop but it can't continue. Therefore, the whole system must collapse and be rebuilt. London - twinned with Athens.
