It Was a Tough Boat Crossing

That is what the BBC highlighted, anyway:


In the linked story, the BBC describes a day in the trial of Abdullah Albadri, a Kuwaiti who twice braved the Channel to get to England:

Albadri said his father, a police officer, paid for his education until he was 18 and that he later became a human rights activist, having faced a “wall” when it came to higher education.

He told the court he was “brutally arrested” for handing out flyers…

If I were in charge of British immigration policy, I would want to know more about those “flyers” before letting him in.

…spending five years in prison where he slept on the floor and there were “a lot of beatings”.

After being released, he decided to travel to the UK for the “prosperity”, “freedom” and “human rights” he had seen on television, jurors heard.

Now for the dangerous boat crossings:

His first journey to Dover, Kent, was on a small boat containing 83 people in August 2021.

He said he tried to hitch-hike from London to Manchester but fell asleep in the back of a lorry, later waking up to find himself in France.

Hey, it could happen to anyone.

For his next journey to the UK, last year, he paid £1,200 to armed smugglers to transport him back to Dover in a boat with 63 others, the court heard.

He said one of the smugglers had a pistol and migrants were loaded on to the vessel in a line. In the UK, he found temporary accommodation at an asylum seekers’ hotel in Basingstoke but was told he could not stay there, jurors heard.

Like so many would-be terrorists, Albadri was an asylum seeker. He claims to have a defense:

His defence case is likely to be that he was not trying to enter the [Israeli] embassy for a terrorist purpose, and that he was carrying the knives “for a good reason” unrelated to his activities that day, jurors have been told.

Uh huh. This is a video of Albadri trying to climb over the fence that surrounds the Israeli embassy, with his face completely covered and possessing two knives:

How innocent can you get? Of course, the facts are pretty bad:

A man with two knives shouted “why are you stopping me from making crimes?” as he was arrested trying to break into the Israeli embassy in London last year, a jury has heard.
***
On police body-worn video footage Albadri can be heard saying: “I’m gonna come again.”

When PC Cox asks him: “Have you got anything on you that’s gonna poke me?”, Albadri replies: “I got my weapons.”
***
Albadri says: “I wanna make a crime inside there. Why are you stopping me? Why are you stopping me from making crimes?”
***
Earlier the same afternoon, the jury heard, Albadri had WhatsApped his mother a picture of a handwritten note next to a knife with a red-and-white handle.

The note ends with the message: “I will not go back on my decision to go in the cause of Allah, to come out for His sake and to stand up to the enemies in order to support the religion of Allah Almighty.”

In a subsequent message to his mother, he wrote: “I chose the path of martyrdom”. The handwritten note was found on him at the time of his arrest, the jury heard.

So this is another case of misplaced sympathy although, to be fair, the BBC did report the facts in the second linked article, published last week. But what liberal outlets like the BBC will never acknowledge is that stories like this one are 100% due to the ridiculous immigration policies followed by Great Britain and many other European countries. Those policies are suicidal, and they are the reason why European voters are flocking to the “far right” parties that, perhaps, might do something about them.

And we don’t really need to ask why Albadri wanted to assault the Israeli embassy, do we?
