It’s extraordinary beyond belief to know that a man hunted for the murder of a policewoman can flee this country by wearing his sister’s niqab and using her passport.

Are Muslim women really allowed to hide behind their veils when they go through passport control?

That would seem to be the case, according to The Times, which reports that British immigration officers rarely carry out a visual check to match a passport photograph with a departing female passenger’s veiled face.

It’s also scary that deadly radioactive polonium 201 can easily escape detection and arrive at our airports unchecked.

It’s ludicrous for immigration staff not to check the identity of Muslim women during these very uncertain times, I’m sure a woman officer could be made available for this formality, perhaps one of the same faith.

No short cuts should be taken with our border security, even if airports are disrupted due to bad weather during the peak holiday season. The citizens of this country deserve to know that ALL security measures are being strictly followed, delays are preferable to the worst happening.

Do you feel confident that security measures at our borders is strict enough? As a result of these two cases, I certainly don’t think so, how many similar incidents have there been that we don’t know about?

If you had a Cheeky Girl to cuddle up to, you’d want to keep her by your side, wouldn’t you?

That’s certainly what Lembit Opik thought, there’s no point in being an MP if you don’t have influence! So he wrote to the Cheeky Girls’ MP Michael Foster and spoke to a Home Office minister when they faced deportation threats earlier this summer.

And Lib Dems are right behind lovestruck Lembit, saying he had shown “total propriety”. I wonder why the duo couldn’t contact their MP themselves, why Lembit needed to intervene.

And now Garbriela and Monica’s home country Romania is due to join the EU on January 1, it’s unlikely there will be any pressure on them to leave.

Did it ever cross Lembit’s mind that this was the reason Gabriela suddenly found him Mr Irresistible? Unless anyone else has any better ideas.

I love Gabriela’s perceptive quote too about pantomime love:

“Our relationship is really genuine and it’s not out of a pantomime or anything like that. We understand each other really well and we are looking for a long relationship here.”

Are they a match made in heaven, or will they be lucky to outlast the panto season - oh no they won’t!

What are the chances that Cherie Blair will send her old friend Peter Foster a Christmas card? After all, he did secure a great price on her Bristol properties?

The conman is still striking deals, but this time with leaders of Fiji’s military coup who have granted him freedom from house arrest to stay his mother in a rented house.

Still the centre of controversy, Foster has agreed to name corrupt officials from Fiji’s former government and also faces charges of using forged documents, as well as discrediting a rival Fiji resort project by portraying it as a haven for paedophiles. This sounds too unbelievable to be true.

Foster is having to pay for personnel security to guard him and the exotically named Vude Queen Laisa Vulakoro has provided $5000 surety. And it’s no wonder he says he wants to stay on the island with such lovely local attractions!

I guess the only card Foster wants now is “get out of jail free”, but who knows what fate awaits him. What would your message be to Foster if you sent him a Christmas card? Will he ever to shake off his notoriety? Would you buy a second-hand car from him?
