serves them right for putting up stupid comments like that on a public site where the world can see
At least the yanks have got it right.
If that was here, it would be completly different... they would be welcome even more with a brass band waiting for them at arrivals with hand outs, benefits and housing all sorted for them
Perhaps if they spoke or 'tweeted' to each other in proper English...........................
Or is it just me getting old? : )
No doubt that Twitter has replaced Facebook as THE medium for proving yourself to be a prime CHUMP....
How are Americans supposed to know that its British Slang. They did the right thing by detaining them as they believed they were a threat. The problem is that since Facebook, Twitter etc, people enter their whole lives on the internet, when 99.999999% of people really dont care. Its acutally good to see that America's Security is high that two ordinary brummies saying something on Twitter was picked up and they were questioned about it. Wish Britain had that kind of security.
Twitter/Facebook is not private, its public. Get some common sense people.
serves them right, the bloody idiots. what kind of morons post those kinds of statements ?
After the amount of people who died on 9/11, of course they are twitchy when it comes to intercepting perceived threats. Terrorist don't come with a big sign on their head! So if a couple of idiots who thought it was funny to 'joke' about destroying someone’s country on a 'public' network lose their holiday that's hard luck, but the US probably feel that, better safe than sorry, is the more important option. Not really for us to preach when we can't even deport those we know to be a threat!
Very specific? The sun "has ... the largest circulation of any daily newspaper in the United Kingdom" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sun_%28United_Kingdom%29) Looks like the specific audience you are talking about is the majority of the population.
