Snowden Is Not Welcome In The U.K.

THANYARAT DOKSONE

BANGKOK (AP) — The British government has warned airlines around the world not to allow Edward Snowden, who leaked information on top-secret U.S. government surveillance programs, to fly to the United Kingdom.

A travel alert, dated Monday on a Home Office letterhead, said carriers should deny Snowden boarding because “the individual is highly likely to be refused entry to the UK.”

The Associated Press saw a photograph of the document taken Friday at a Thai airport. A British diplomat confirmed that the document was genuine and was sent out to airlines around the world. Airlines in Thailand, Malaysia and Singapore also confirmed the alert had been issued.

The diplomat said such alerts are issued to carriers that fly into the U.K and any carrier that brings Snowden will be liable to be fined 2,000 British pounds. He said Snowden would likely have been deemed by the Home Office to be detrimental to the “public good.”

1. They already had their phone scandal. I don't think Cameron

wants to bring the subject up again.

2. There's always Ecuador...

Though, there aren't any direct flights, and most stopovers include at least on US airport.

4. you are really determined

you take this guy down.It's almost like you are being paid to get this guy

8. ????????

Snowden's taking HIMSELF down. Unfortunately for the 'hero' narrative, people have noticed and are reporting on it.

And you accuse the OP of taking the poor thief down because links about these stories are being posted here?

9. No offense, ProSense, but I didn't realize you were that powerful!

I will endeavor to be more respectful to you in the future.

"you are really determined you take this guy down.It's almost like you are being paid to get this guy"

5. I've heard N. Korea is nice this time of year

Perhaps he can share the same info he shared with the Chinese with them.

[JackN415]

7. That's my fault.

I haven't forgiven him for failing to return my garlic press, the adolescent oaf.

I phoned the Queen this morning. She was very understanding.

17. Angola is beautiful this time of year.

[TakeALeftTurn]

18. This is a farcical statement by the British government

The UK is the last place on Earth, Snowden would want to go (after America itself).

The Brits would have Snowden extradited to America before his feet even touched the ground.

David Cameron (the Prime Minister) and William Hague (the Foreign Secretary) are both Neocons.
Hence their eagerness to intervene in Syria and Mali.

[Monkie]

19. they like to call the UK the 51st state, the lapdog, the puppet, the aircraft carrier

off the coast of europe.
and thats just what the brits themselves say..
