I am not. I am saying the existing controls are either not functioning because of the sheer volume of refugees, or that they are not technologically sufficient seeing as a Paris terrorist was registered in Greece and no alert was thrown up.

If it is that easy, then great. If it is possible, then I hope it is being done. All for it. Just that up until now it doesn't seem to be happening. Maybe because of the volume, or possibly because of a lack of technology or centralised dna and fingerprint information. Maybe some terrorists are...

Who has the finger print and Dna bank? Are the controls linked to a data base? If so, great. The checks on the Paris suspect by Greece did not throw up an alert.

Yes, I can see that, but it is in the first instance in the past tense. As more things happen, it becomes more useful. I don't say we should do no checks, but if people have false identities, they won't throw up an alert.

Alerts who? If they have a false passports- as in Paris - where does the alert come from? Who is against controls? I am just pointing out that it is very difficult to control such numbers. The winter may provide a breathing space as it gets harder to travel. Also the Germans are getting more...

I would say that ISIS are doing quite well in stirring up animosity on their own. They don't need Cameron. If Putin and Obama make joint bombing raids against ISIS, as Hollande has proposed, then ISIS will go down in history for bringing two super powers together. The last one who did that was...

Yes, but how does that help prevent terrorism? It helps find out that someone with a false passport entered the EU. But it is past tense as we have seen.

Any proof that it as all because of Merkel? Problem was coming. Russia is now bombing " moderate " rebels. Erdogan is making the refugees less welcome. No way is she the only cause of mass migration. Now France has intensified bombing, Britain and NATO will follow. Syria is not the place to...

no, but to think that if you turn thousands of refugees away you will have less terrorism is very naive. I follow the line that, if you stick to international law and/ or human values you will be better off in the end. The problems have been caused by ignoring other people's views and lives. I...

An all time low compared with extremely popular for Merkel. The war is the main cause of migration from Syria. Fact. Whether the migrants are leaving directly or have had enough of sitting in a Turkish camp Syria is not a place to be or to go back to. With or without Merkel there would be an...

This goes back to the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the First World War, betraying the Arabs we used for our purposes ( see Lawrence of Arabia ) and carving up Arab lands between us, France and Zionists. We moan about becoming part of Metropole Birmingham - peanuts in comparison. The Kurds...

last I heard Soeder was not popular with the CDU, the CSU's coalition partner ( he is CSU and wants to become head of Bavaria ). His use of Paris doesn't go down well with Germans I know. I wouldn't use him as a barometer of opinion. We knew his opinion before this. Merkel did not cause refugees...

The West is not lazy and complacent. We took out Jihad John in a car with a 1000 mph missile. Developed in and fired from the West. ISIL relies on tossers who have to kill themselves. Yes traditions have gone. Most of us now accept black and brown People as equals - not as Gladstone described...

Yes, he had a passport and was registered. Why didn't it set alarm bells ringing? Checked and not seen as dangerous. So much to border controls. Surprised he didn't fly in - or maybe getting a visa would have been a problem. So we are now going to blame it on refugees? We have getting on for a...

Plus the ones on the floodlights etc and the ones who sneaked in over the turnstiles......

No? Really? Seems as though Herr Soeder disagrees with you: A member of Bavaria's regional government has called for better border controls in the wake of the Paris attacks.Bavaria's Finance Minister Markus Soeder told weekly Welt am Sonntag that Germany needs to know who is entering...

Yes, he came in a car from Montenegro, Not a refugee. 8 Kalishmikows, a Pistole, Grenades and explosives. He has said nothing since his arrest.

If true then it just backs up the need for tighter borders doesn't it? (Quote) yes, don't let any Frenchmen in to the UK.
