Antisemitism in the UK

“Two Iranian men have appeared in court charged with terror offences over an alleged plot to target the Jewish community in Manchester with a homemade bomb.

Rahman Salehi, 34, of Salford, and Salam Ahmadyan, 36, from Liverpool, were accused at Westminster Magistrates’ Court of preparing to commit an act of terrorism or assisting another to commit an act of terrorism on or before 20 September.

One of the buildings they are alleged to have carried out reconnaissance at is the Heaton Park synagogue which was attacked on 2 October 2025.

Both men, who had arrived in the UK by small boat, were arrested in Manchester’s Northern Quarter on the eve of Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.”

Who knew that not controlling your borders would would allow enemy nations to ship in (pun intended) covert operatives?

Oh wait, everyone with a working brain knew this.

I wonder how those two Russians involved in the Salisbury poisonings managed, or perhaps they arrived on a rubber dinghy too.

Dodgy passport or a sympathetic trawler captain making a few quid on the side?

Allowing thousands of mysterious folks in unchecked just makes it much easier.

Another Brexit benefit :roll_eyes:

Not having anyone in No. 10 Downing Street with a spine for at least 3 decades hasn’t helped.

Exactly.
With a bit of cash in a bank account it is easy to fly into the UK.
To arrive by small boat is more expensive, riskier, and fingerprints are taken when picked up.

That does mean that small boat migrants are not recruited after arrival, but any trained assets will not be coming in that way.
