I wonder if they are five of our own or have recently been rescued from Calais?

"That is what the media choose to call them, when it is convenient for them to do so". Never a truer word spoken aog.

Five "teenagers" (i.e. five Muslim insurgents)

[Samjenko]

BBC called them boys.

[fiction-factory]

teenager with foreign sounding name = muslim insurgent?

[Baldric]

Here's another view on it, they sure don't sound like Choirboys!

I'm glad they've been arrested and will be investigated, their country of birth doesn't alter that.

True Mamy, although their "Country of birth" may have some bearing on their actions.

[THECORBYLOON]

Where were they born?

[Mamyalynne]

Try appealing to the authorities if it is really what you want to know.

I want them off the streets wherever they were born if found guiltyof the allegations.

THECORBYLOON , reading your posts one could almost be forgiven for thinking that since they don’t have English names, you’re sorry they’ve been arrested. Are you?

[ummmm]

Is that a serious comment, Naomi?

[naomi24]

ummmm, yes, it is.

[THECORBYLOON]

NAOMI, since four of them cannot be named for legal reasons who knows if they are English or no unless you have some inside information. With regard to your thinking I am sorry they have been arrested, it says more about you than it does me and of course I am not sorry.

[naomi24]

THECORBYLOON, I'm very pleased to hear that.
