Almost 300 Terrorists & Criminals Attempt To Enter The UK Every Day


One could argue that the increasing number of potentially dangerous individuals entering the UK is due to excessive criticism of immigration authorities. Indeed, the NBTC has been subjected to heaps of scorn and disdain over it’s alleged heavy-handedness. Such criticism seems absurd in light of the record amount of terror suspects crossing the UK’s borders.

“The huge rise in the number of alerts has coincided with the rise of Islamic State and the continued terror threat to the UK.

The NBTC, which was once dubbed ‘Britain’s Stasi’ because it screens all passengers entering or leaving Britain, receives its data from airlines. It is informed of passengers’ names, dates of birth, nationalities and passport numbers.

It can even obtain people’s travel history dating back over decade, meaning even those with no criminal history can be flagged as potential threats.

The organisation was set up in 2010, and in its first year sent out 61,000 alerts to border staff or local police. In the 2012/13 year – the year of the London Olympics – that figure rose to 62,000.

However, in 2013/14 the number suddenly rocketed to 91,000 alerts, and in 2014/15 rose even further to 99,500 – equivalent to 273 a day.

Lord Carlile of Berriew, a terror analyst, said the increased number of alerts was due to an ever greater threat from jihadists:

‘Given what has happened in the past year and the fragility of the European border system, the authorities would be acting irresponsibly if there were not more alerts.'”
