Isreal's been putting our kids in the front line for decades now.

Yes, but what is implied is that they're babes in arms rather than teens with arms. Still kids, of course, and definitely a lot of actual babes in arms have been killed, but I think the "women and children" language deliberately blurs the distinction. If it’s good enough for us and Israel to refer to under 18s as “kids” then it’s good enough for Palestinians. I think that calling out women for special consideration is stranger given than they will be more likely to be involved in the conflict than kids (especially in the Israeli side where women are required to complete military service).

It's not good enough for the Palestinians because they're backwards savages.

Why is he here if he can't speak English?
"Mr Hussein was assisted by an Arabic interpreter, but had no lawyer to represent him."

Makes you wonder if we knew he was here at all.

He's probably someone senior at the BBC.

Still, it could have been worse. They could have been making racist stickers.

Can't remember the last time British expats plotted to murder Spanish Jews. Or if we've ever been in a political union with an Arab country and still retained many of the arrangements.

Also, partial commonality with our thick scumbags looking for an easy life doesn't explain why the bloke's been allowed in.

Yes, the existence of expats in Spain doesn't explain his residence here. It will be interesting to find out his immigration status and his contribution to the culture and economy of Britain.

Yes, I am looking forward to hearing of their various statuses. I expect it will be uncomfortable reading for the Left.

Do people need to contribute to the economy and culture? That will be very disappointing for most people who are surely about to get kicked out.

Why does he need to contribute to the culture? And why assume he is not contributing to economy. My comment about Spain was because you seem very confused by people living in countries where they don’t speak the language. This is actually very common.

He should pull his weight economically.

He should (have) been sent back to Shitholestan.

Can we also kick out feckless gobshites who struggle to hold onto even the simplest of jobs. Clearly a drain on society.
